    15 DE JAN.

    Episode #04: Living with Macroeconomic Uncertainty in Supply Chains with Christiane von Berg

    “The main risk right now for all economies is the level of uncertainty.” In this episode of Supply Chain Superintelligence, Marco Felsberger speaks with Christiane von Berg, Head of Economic Research for Benelux and the DACH region at Coface, about how macroeconomic uncertainty translates into real supply chain and business risk. From tariffs and trade disruptions to inflation, recession in manufacturing, and shifting geopolitical alliances, Christiane explains why uncertainty, not single shocks, has become the defining challenge for companies today.  She shares how macroeconomic signals feed into country and sector risk assessments, why narratives can be more dangerous than data, and how organisations can avoid paralysis in an environment of constant change. They discuss how tariffs actually impact exporters, importers, and consumers, why supply chain disruptions are no longer one-off events, and how leaders can make better decisions by cutting through noise and focusing on fundamentals. Key insights Uncertainty itself is now the biggest macroeconomic risk for Europe and global supply chains Tariffs affect exporters, importers, and consumers differently depending on product substitutability Supply chain disruptions have become structurally frequent rather than exceptional Data-driven risk assessment helps leaders act decisively instead of freezing under uncertainty About Christiane von Berg Christiane von Berg is Head of Economic Research for Benelux and the DACH region at Coface. She specialises in macroeconomic analysis, country and sector risk assessment, and the transmission of economic shocks into corporate insolvency and credit risk. Her work supports both credit insurance underwriting and business decision-making.

    Episode #03: Resilience in the Real World with Knut Alicke

    “Why do supply chain disruptions keep catching companies off guard… even when the risks are known?” Black swans, gray rhinos, goldfish memory – in this episode of Supply Chain Superintelligence, Marco Felsberger speaks with Knut Alicke, supply chain and operations expert, about why organisations repeatedly underestimate risk and forget hard-earned crisis lessons. From COVID and Fukushima to chip shortages and geopolitical shocks, Knut explains how companies can better anticipate disruption, communicate risk to executives, and move from reactive firefighting to resilience by design. They discuss why narratives matter more than dashboards, how gut feeling and data must work together, and why crises can become a powerful source of competitive advantage for prepared organisations. Key insights Not all disruptions are black swans. Many are predictable and still ignored Why risk communication must focus revenue and customers to reach the board Inventory buys time, but resilience requires structural and design-level decisions Organisations with strong risk memory outperform competitors during crises About Knut Alicke Knut Alicke is a globally recognised supply chain and operations expert, advisor to McKinsey & Company, and co-author of Source to Sold. He advises organisations on building resilient, future-ready supply chains and regularly speaks on risk, disruption, and operational excellence.

    Episode #01: Exploring Forced Labour with Markus Löning

    “Forced labour is at our door. Look at the hospitality sector in Europe. Look at agriculture. There are people in slave-like conditions” What do we do when the tech we use, the clothes we wear, and the cars we drive are made, in part, with coercion?  In this powerful conversation, Markus Löning – leading legal expert on human rights and former politician – unpacks the realities of forced labour in today’s global value chains. He discusses why forced labour persists, how companies can identify risks, and what actionable steps organisations can take to protect both people and profits Key insights: Forced labour is not a historic problem: it’s embedded across modern supply chains Companies need risk-based due diligence, not just box-ticking compliance Technology, transparency, and early detection are essential to preventing crises About Markus Löning Markus Löning is a renowned human rights advocate, former Member of the German Bundestag, and founder of Löning – Human Rights & Responsible Business. With decades of experience advising global companies, he brings sharp insights into how organisations can take meaningful action against forced labour.
