Insights
Practitioner analysis of industry trends, AI adoption gaps, and what the research actually means for operations leaders. Written from inside the supply chain, not from the sidelines.
Asymmetric models - technology is not the point. Response capacity.
Everyone I discuss it with agrees with the asymmetric operating model concept, but nobody has actually built it. Not for lack of vision. For lack
The Invisible Chain - Event About AI in Supply Chain. But Biggest Lever is Different.
On June 18th CIPS Switzerland 🇨🇠and Capgemini hosted the first edition of The Invisible Chain in Zurich. I opened the evening together with Martin Weis
Asymmetric supply chains: the other face of chaos
A super El Niño is forming over the Pacific. It is the clearest illustration yet of why asymmetry in agri-food supply chains cuts deeper than
What Meta Just Taught Us About ERPs and Agents
A new paper from Meta AI maps three eras of supply chain intelligence - from ERP extensions to agent harnesses to something nobody in the
Boyd's Loop Was Built for Pilots. Agentic AI Needs OODAA.
Boyd designed OODA for fighter pilots making split-second decisions. Agentic AI systems need a fifth phase. Introducing OODAA - Observe, Orient, Decide, Act, Adapt.
From Visibility to Velocity: Why Supply Chain Observability Is the Missing Layer Between Data and Action
Supply chain has a visibility problem it thinks it solved. Observability - the missing layer between data and action - is what actually turns alerts into decisions.
Designing for asymmetry: re-thinking operating models for chaotic supply chains
If supply chains are fundamentally asymmetric, our operating models should be too. A framework for designing operations that embrace chaos instead of fighting it.
The AI ROI Measurement Stack: How to Quantify What Finance Actually Cares About
Enterprise AI deployments jumped 282% in 2025. Finance keeps asking for ROI numbers. Here is the measurement framework that actually answers their question.
Asymmetry as a Feature: The Hidden Architecture & Physics of Global Supply Chains
Standard operations theory assumes symmetry. Global supply chains are fundamentally asymmetric. Understanding this hidden architecture changes everything.
