## Summary

Useful for supply-chain thought leadership that asks where technology creates practical value and how leaders should adapt.

- Best for: A supply-chain software webinar on transformation, resilience and judging new technology by practical value.
- Not for: Paid product endorsements, vendor comparisons or campaigns needing quantified implementation results and customer ROI claims.
- Check first: Request recent audience data for target markets and seniority, and ask for documented evidence of professional roles.

### Takeaways

- They question tangible value in command centers, digital twins, AI in S&OP and agentic supply chains.
- They distinguish geopolitical disruption, operational shocks, employee uncertainty and strategic or cultural change in crisis leadership.
- They argue technology alone does not change supply chains; people do.

## Main ideas

- **Judge supply-chain technology by practical value, not buzzwords**: Nanneke’s clearest position on technology comes from the SCM Trend Diner 2026. They describe a debate that put four developments on the table: SCM Command Center, Digital Supply Chain Twin, AI in S&OP, and Agentic Supply Chain. The room did not treat AI as the future by default. The useful questions were where tangible business value lies, what is mature enough to implement today, and what still needs to prove itself. Nanneke’s conclusion: the winners will not be organizations that adopt every new buzzword first, but those that can distinguish interesting technology from technology that improves decisions, resilience and execution.
- **Technology alone does not change supply chains; people do**: In the inNOWvate 2026 recap, Nanneke reports that several presentations made the same point: technology alone does not create change. The examples they cite are connected workers, digital academies and GenAI-enabled manufacturing. Success depends on empowering people to adopt and scale new ways of working. Across the posts, supply-chain progress is framed not just as a technology purchase, but as a people, process and adoption challenge.
- **Crisis is not one thing; leadership should adapt to the situation**: After the Women in Supply Chain event, Nanneke argues that leadership in a crisis is rarely about having all the answers. They distinguish four types: geopolitical or geoeconomic disruptions, operational shocks, internal uncertainty that feels like a crisis to employees, and major strategic or cultural transformations. From leading teams through such moments, they draw a lesson: the response is less about pushing harder and more about reading the situation, tuning in and adapting. Sometimes an organisation needs direction, sometimes stability, and sometimes leaders who are present, listening and helping people navigate uncertainty.
- **Resilience and friction removal as supply-chain priorities**: Nanneke’s inNOWvate recap highlights two priorities from the event. Martijn Lofvers describes a maturity journey from Visibility to Peak Planning to Resilience Ridge, with visibility as the foundation, planning as optimisation and resilience as a long-term strategic advantage. Steven Van Belleghem calls on leaders to become a ‘friction hunter’, identifying and removing friction in processes, systems and collaboration. Nanneke presents both as lessons for supply-chain leaders and highlights Olena Vdovychenko’s account of continuing to serve communities in Ukraine as a reminder of what resilience looks like.
- **A public priority: senior executive roles and transformation leadership**: Alongside industry commentary, Nanneke publicly states they are seeking senior leadership roles. In a Warsaw reflection, they say they are exploring Director, VP or C-level opportunities in an international business environment. They highlight commercial leadership, product and go-to-market strategy, supply-chain and logistics innovation, and large-scale strategic, commercial and cultural transformation. The same open-to-work message appears in other posts, making it a consistent part of their public profile.

## Partnerships

The posts do not describe any partnership, sponsorship, or commercial collaboration formats. Nanneke Blaak - Visscher writes about attending and speaking at supply chain events — inNOWvate 2026 in Amsterdam, the SCM Trend Diner 2026, and a Women in Supply Chain event — and about Blaak's own executive job search, but none of the posts set out sponsor packages, media kits, rates, deliverables, or terms. Blaak's posts describe who Blaak met, what Blaak took from the sessions, and the leadership roles Blaak is pursuing; they do not describe work Blaak does for paying brand partners. As a result, no inquiry route is published: no partnership page, contact form, or booking address appears in these posts. For a brand planning a thought leadership webinar on transformation and resilience, this means the practical route is a direct approach rather than an application through a stated commercial program. Treat the absence of published formats as a gap to confirm directly with Blaak before assuming a paid arrangement. It does not mean partnerships are declined; it means none are described in these posts.

## Alternatives

- Burton White: If the webinar should be built around one practitioner's framework rather than a room's debate. White writes in the first person about four decades in logistics and sets out K³ — structured data, trusted analytics and the unstructured judgment that turns numbers into decisions — plus a three-part article series arguing that AI is the first tool able to capture what experienced supply chain people carry. A software company whose product claim is capturing expert judgment, succession of know-how, or making a new planner's first year look like a senior planner's fifth gets a tighter subject match than with Blaak - Visscher's event-framing material. The finished series also supplies three promotional assets and an established writing voice to reuse.
- Natalia Dubnyak: If the webinar should be about AI inside planning rather than organisational resilience. Dubnyak's planning post starts with a plain question — where does AI fit when companies already run SAP IBP and comparable forecasting tools — and answers it with named CPG examples (Kraft Heinz, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners) and five concrete planner benefits: detecting demand shifts earlier, predicting supply risks, optimising inventory, prioritising exceptions and evaluating scenarios faster. For a vendor selling into demand and supply planning, that is closer to buyers' daily work than a trend-versus-hype debate, and the closing audience question can be reused as the webinar poll.
- Carl Kallen: If the campaign narrows from transformation and resilience to compliance and traceability risk. Kallen's material covers the EU Digital Product Passport, cross-border audit readiness, RFID and real-time visibility, and turning compliance into competitive advantage. It is backed by a documented industry panel on the topic and a partner webinar on connected factories and asset utilisation. A vendor whose product is traceability, serialisation or operational visibility gets a specific, regulation-anchored webinar subject and a presenter already used to sharing a stage with partners.
