Highlights | SCM Leaders Forum Barcelona, HP SCM Leaders Forum Barcelona brought together cross-industry business leaders and provided a space to talk, ask questions, and share what’s really going on in their industries. The turnout was excellent. The time spent was valuable. The conversations kept going long after the sessions ended, and the atmosphere was focused, open, and energising. Our team managed to catch not just the highlights, but the spirit of the event: the coffee chats, the unexpected connections, and the sense that we’re all working through similar challenges, just from different angles. Many thanks to everyone who contributed on and off camera, especially Sergi Casellas, Clara Mena, Tomás Zaborowski, Aliona Yurlova 刘娜 for sharing your insights and generosity. Check out the clip below and hear feedback from our attendees first-hand experiences.

Autonomous Vehicles impact on social sustainability | Cranfield University A recent study published in the ‘International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management’, looks beyond the usual productivity and emissions headlines to examine the actual social implications of AV adoption. Their goal: to uncover what actions organisations are doing (or should do) to address the social consequences of AV adoption, and how these actions evolve as adoption progresses. The paper identifies 40 distinct actions, ranging from employee upskilling and stakeholder engagement to legal adaptations, service planning, and CSR alignment. These are organised into 8 categories. But perhaps more importantly, the study proposes a model that aligns these actions with the five stages of the innovation adoption process; agenda-setting, matching, redefining, clarifying, and routinising. It’s a rare example of a framework that recognises timing and maturity as critical variables when trying to do the “right” thing. One interesting addition is the emphasis on reputation as a legitimate social sustainability indicator in itself. In a space where public trust, workforce transformation, and local stakeholder resistance are increasingly make-or-break issues, this inclusion feels both timely and pragmatic. If your organisation is working with or around AVs, and you’re being asked “what are the benefits?” and “how are we managing the risks?”, this research offers a useful structure for thinking about the social side of innovation. Feel free to share the paper if useful. #Research #AI #AV #CranfieldUniversity

Beyond automation: How gen AI is reshaping supply chains | McKinsey & Company If you still think of GenAI as a chatbot gimmick, this might change your mind. In the latest McKinsey Talk Operations podcast episode, AI architects and logistics experts pull back the curtain on what GenAI is actually doing in the field. For instance: – 60% faster shipping document prep – 49% fewer road incidents for delivery drivers – Millions saved with virtual dispatchers and copilots The highlight for us was the building of an AI “team member” - one that listens, learns from your best planners, and continuously improves decision-making. It’s not here to take over jobs, but to capture the tacit knowledge hiding in your organization and make it usable, scalable, and reliable.

Digital Dialogue | Electrolux Professional Group In this new episode of #DigitalDialogue, we joined Swapnil Choudhari, VP Group Sustainability and Quality at Electrolux Professional Group, for a discussion that goes beyond the traditional boundaries of quality management. Where we once talked about defect rates and control charts, we’re now talking about customer happiness, societal well-being, and planet-first innovation. This is more than evolution. It’s a paradigm shift. ✔️ From isolated QA silos to end-to-end system thinking ✔️ From compliance to conscience - balancing people, planet, and profit ✔️ From fixing failures to predicting and prevention before they even occur AI-powered chatbots. Predictive maintenance. Advanced simulations to reduce waste. These are expressions of a new quality mindset, one that’s proactive, inclusive, and deeply integrated with sustainability goals. As we connect machines, data, and people in smarter ways, quality becomes the language that aligns technical excellence with human impact.
