The Supply Chain Dialogues started in early 2023 with a simple idea: turn four decades of executive experience into structured conversations about what actually goes wrong in operations, supply chains, procurement, and corporate design — and what to do about it.
Season 1 laid the groundwork. Working with AI co-host Amy, the episodes walked through the core questions that reveal blind spots in any organisation: where value leaks, where processes break down, and where leadership gaps hide in plain sight.
Season 2 opened the door to guests. Practitioners and academics joined the conversation — on sustainability, GHG emissions, digital transformation, leadership, and the harder questions that rarely make it into management meetings.
Season 3 went deeper into sustainability and the path to Net Zero, exploring the human, organisational, and market forces that determine whether companies actually change — or just report change.
Season 4 drew directly on doctoral research into GHG emission reduction in discrete manufacturing. The findings challenged much of the conventional wisdom around regulation, measurement, and organisational size — and pointed toward what actually works.
All episodes are available on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, with full transcripts available here.
Ep. 15: Unleashing 21st Century KPI Mastery or: stop looking into your rearview mirror.
Many businesses are still operating as if they are driving a car by solely glancing at the rearview mirror. Sounds absurd, right? Well, that's how most businesses operate. They rely on just on hindsight focused financial metrics with one months to a quarter delay.
How about a 21st century KPI Leadership System, where you'll have a clear view through the windshield with a dynamic heads-up display.
Enjoy!
