Triple A.I. supply chains

  • September 14, 2023
  • 10am - 11am
  • Online
  • Participation is free of charge; registration is mandatory.

A Stanford professor once described high performing supply chains as Agile, Adaptative and Aligned. Agile refers to the ability of supply chains to face daily uncertainties and variations, adaptability refers to the ability to adjust to more significant changes over time; and aligned refers to the quality of the relationships with partners along the chain that contribute to delivering sustainable performance.  

While the triple A framework is as relevant as ever for supply chain leaders.  We put forward, in an article published in The European Business Review the concept of Triple A.I. supply chains. We suggest that Agile, Adaptative and Aligned needs to be complemented by Informed, Interconnected and Intelligent supply chains. In a nutshell, this means that information gathered along and beyond the supply chain are combined into short, mid, and long-term insights and scenarios that facilitate human decisions. 

During the webinar we will discuss and illustrate how Triple A.I. supply chains can be implemented.

Webinar: The decarbonisation of supply chains

  • November 3, 2022
  • 10am & 4pm (CET)
  • Online
  • Participation is free-of-charge but, as the number of places is limited, registration is compulsory

Climate change requires to rethink how industries and supply chain operate. This is one of the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) imperatives that companies are facing.

This is caused by greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere that prevent heat from escaping earth. To be able to leave on earth, we need to radically reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The largest emission comes from carbon. As part of the 2016 Paris Agreement’s country representatives have decided that they aim to keep the rise of global temperature below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and preferably at 1.5°C.

Since companies have started to commit to become carbon neutral or to achieve net-zero targets on climate change Their commitment cover direct emissions from their business operations and indirect emissions from downstream an upstream along the supply chain. Procurement is therefore expected to play a key role in achieving these targets.

The webinar aims at demystifying what this means for buyers and to provide practical suggestions on how to move forward on the topic.

This webinar will:

  • Present the stakes associated with climate change and the decarbonation of supply chains
  • Describe the difference between carbon neutral and net zero
  • Introduction to what this means in terms of: 
    • Internal and external communication
    • Role of procurement in upstream and downstream impact
    • Integration in strategy, goals, and targets
    • Integration in the procurement process
    • Measurement of impacts and digitalisation of the measurement
    • Integration in supplier selection
    • Integration in supplier relationship management
    • Breakthrough projects with some suppliers
    • Industry standards and industry initiatives
