What if solving supply chain’s biggest challenges requires not just better technology, but more creativity, collaboration, and human thinking?
In this episode, we welcome Dr. Nadine Karatli-Schneider, whose unique journey from academia to industry has given her a broad perspective on supply chain management, sustainability, and innovation. Drawing from her international experience and research background, Nadine explores how organizations can better integrate risk management and sustainability to build supply chains that are both resilient and prepared for an increasingly complex world.
Throughout the conversation, Nadine dives into the challenge of decarbonizing supply chains and the importance of using technology, data, and meaningful KPIs to measure progress. She emphasizes that reducing emissions is not a problem with one simple solution. Instead, decarbonization requires collaboration across organizations, industries, and stakeholders. By bringing different perspectives together, supply chain leaders can develop creative approaches to complex challenges while balancing operational realities with long-term sustainability goals.
Nadine also shares her thoughts on the growing role of artificial intelligence and why technology should complement—not replace—human creativity. She describes supply chain challenges as “wicked problems” that require innovative thinking, collaboration, and a willingness to approach problems from multiple angles. Her perspective offers an important reminder that while AI and digital tools can accelerate progress, creativity and human connection remain essential to solving the challenges that will shape the future of supply chain.
