Visibility Before Constraints — Why Supply Chains Optimise the Wrong Reality
Caio Gouveia
Supply Planning Manager — EMEA, FMC Corporation
- Why even the most advanced supply chains so often optimise the wrong reality — and how greater sophistication can magnify that error rather than expose it.
- Resilience as a question of sequence, not sophistication — the order in which visibility, governance and technology are built determines whether they hold when conditions turn.
- The real constraint behind underperforming AI and planning investments — why the limiting factor is rarely the model, and almost always the foundation beneath it.
- Why the human role rises rather than shrinks as automation matures — and how judgment, governance and accountability become the decisive source of value rather than a cost to remove.

Case Study
04:10PM - 04:50PM
TED-Dialogue: Designing Trustworthy Networks: Is Transparency Enough?
- How do you move beyond 'compliance-based transparency' to create a network where suppliers feel safe sharing their vulnerabilities without fear of immediate contract termination?
- In an era of constant structural disruption, how do you design a network that prioritizes adaptability over static resilience?
- Can you describe a scenario where you prioritized a more 'trustworthy' local supplier over a more 'transparent' but distant global one? How did that impact your total cost of resilience?
- A transparent supply chain increases the digital attack surface. How do you balance the need for data sharing with the critical need to protect the network from supply chain IT breaches?
- In 2026, labor shortages are a structural risk. How does your supply chain design foster trust with the workforce within your supplier network, not just the supplier's management?

Cost Efficiency and Resilience: Not a Trade-Off, A Leadership Choice
Christos Matzaridis
Former Head of SC Amcor Flexibles EMEA, Amcor
Why most companies get it wrong. The tendency to treat cost efficiency and resilience as opposing forces is the root of the problem. With US tariff escalation actively forcing network redesign, Iran-related risks threatening energy and material costs, and EU supply chain regulation raising the compliance bar, the cost of treating resilience as optional has never been more visible. • Resilience through integration, not just inventory. Supplier collaboration, CMO network design and cross-functional alignment are more durable resilience levers than safety stock alone. I will share lessons from managing 90+ CMOs across EMEA at J&J, where governance and performance management were central to supply resilience, and from delivering a 32% inventory reduction with a simultaneous service level improvement from 88% to 95.6% at Amcor, where cross-functional alignment made the difference.

Seeing More, Understanding Less? AI and Supply Chain Risk Visibility
Zera Zheng
Global Head of Business Resilience Consulting, Maersk
- Supply chains today are flooded with real-time data, alerts, and updates—yet translating these signals into clear, timely decisions remains a persistent challenge.
- AI is rapidly embedded into risk monitoring and visibility tools, but its ability to interpret complex, evolving situations is still uneven across different types of risks.
- As technology scales faster than understanding, organizations are rethinking how to connect data, tools, and human judgment in real-world decision-making.

Panel Discussion
03:45PM - 04:25PM
What is the Future of Supply Chain Resilience - A Continuation of Complexity and Risk?
- Is geopolitical uncertainty the new normal? Can a proactive approach to geopolitical risks, including regularly updating scenarios to anticipate and monitor emerging geopolitical risks and reviewing existing or seeking innovative political risk insurance coverages, help companies stay ahead of shifting dynamics?
- Will climate risks interrupt supply chains?
- Will securing resources remain a strategic concern?
- Will industries be facing increasing challenges in filling essential roles, which in turn can threaten to disrupt critical supply chains through diminished productivity?
- While moving production closer to consumers reduces transit risk, it often fragments volume, leading to higher unit costs and more complex inbound networks.
- How rising costs for energy, labor, and compliance compress margins and increase the risk of supplier insolvencies.
- What are the strategies to free up working capital by reducing unnecessary inventory "piles" while maintaining precisely calculated buffers in high-risk regions?
- Embracing digital transformation = facing increasingly complex and evolving cybersecurity risks. A global survey found that almost a third of procurement managers reported an increase in cyberattacks on their supply chains in 2025, with the issue moving up in the list of concerns.
