Research positioning

My research has the potential to be useful to both academia and business.It offers both practical and theoretical contributions. It lies at the intersection of several fields and deals with an emerging type of supply chain risk that has not been adequately studied. It proposes a novel framework for dealing with an emerging type of supply chain risk, namely dynamic supply chain risks. Furthermore, after extensive literature reviews, it proposes two frameworks, one for supply chain risk management and another that explains organizational change.

Dynamic vs static supply chain risks

The literature would describe dynamic supply chain risks as complex and ambiguous.

To the best of my knowledge, my doctoral dissertation is the first to contribute to solving these supply chain risks by providing a framework for managing them.

Clarity of research

Despite the merit of previous studies, current knowledge is still limited in providing a comprehensive framework for managing dynamic supply chain risks. This is an important gap because of the threat they pose to businesses, the planet and people. Their occurrence can a) wipe billions from company value in a matter of days, b) damage consumer health, c) detoriorate social and environmental performance throughout the supply chain.

Research approach

I used a structured and comprehesive framework that incorporates a variety of criteria, such as validity and reliability.

Data collection and analysis

Large companies with a capitalization of billions participated in this research. Once the data had been collected, a management theory was used to interpret it. This theory, called Dynamic Capabilities Theory, provides a comprehensive framework to explain organizational change. This led to the proposal of a detailed framework for managing dynamic supply chain risks, which offers significant practical and theoretical contributions.

Publishing experience

I have co-authored a number of academic articles published in peer-reviewed ABS journals, namely Management Science, Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management and Journal of Enterprise Information Management. During my doctoral studies, I also published a book chapter with my doctoral supervisor.

The challenges of a dynamic business environment

Modern businesses today face a plethora of problems. Supply chain disruptions, inflation, recession, rising customer expectations, sustainability, scarce resources and climate change are just some of them.

As a result, more than ever, companies need to successfully adapt their operating strategy to meet these challenges, protect their supply chain effectively and efficiently from supply chain risks and vulnerabilities, and be more productive and creative with fewer resources and in a timely manner.

Areas of expertise

Addressing today’s business challenges requires a multidisciplinary synthesis of knowledge, creativity and effective problem-solving skills. With a strong commitment to continuous improvement, IT literacy, creativity, innovativeness, orientation to win-win outcomes, I am eager to add immediate value to a business. I will do this by leveraging my areas of expertise combined with the use of established research approaches.

Consulting approach

In a business context, getting the job done does not necessarily mean getting the best possible results. In a consulting project, understanding the corporate culture plays an important role in finding the best solution. This is one of the many considerations I make during a consulting project, having the overall objective to achieve the highest possible outcomes.

Public speaking influence

As a person, I have the ability to benefit from different experiences.I also have the ability to share my knowledge with others in a creative and meaningful way. I strongly believe that my knowledge and experience can make a difference to people and businesses.Aristotle’s rhetoric greatly influences my public speaking, taking the characteristics of the audience very seriously.

Public speaking elements

I use a variety of techniques to provide the best experience for the target audience. To achieve this, I am committed to delivering the best experience to the target audience by applying a wide range of practices related to ethos, pathos and logos.
