In this edition of This Week in Business History, Kelly Barner takes listeners back to visit an era and a place mythologized by one of the most popular Christmas stories of all time: A Christmas Carol. The story, which was written by Charles Dickens and published in 1843, addresses a number of economic and social issues that not only marked the impact of the Industrial Revolution and emerging middle class, but how poverty was viewed and treated by society at the time.

Integrated Risk Assessment in the Supply Chain

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton welcomes Alex Pillow, Senior Director of Partnerships & Acquisitions (Corporates & Government Unit) at Moody’s and host of the podcast KYC Decoded, for a practical breakdown of how “know your customer” (KYC), third-party due diligence, and third-party risk management map directly onto modern supply chain realities. Alex demystifies integrated risk assessment, connects KYC practices to supplier onboarding and end-tier visibility, and shares where orchestration logic and high-quality data (master data management, beneficial ownership, and external risk signals) meaningfully cut time-to-decision. Alex explores today’s most active threat patterns: organized fraud at scale, cyber supply-chain intrusions, and freight fraud, and how to translate visibility into action with clear mitigation pathways. Alex also spotlights lessons from investigative journalism (think massive crypto heists executed via vendor compromises), a “good team vs. bad team” mindset for program design, and why continuous improvement or the “infinite game” is the only sustainable posture for risk leaders. If you’re building or leveling up TPRM and supply chain risk programs, this episode is a masterclass in combining people, data, and tooling to get ahead of disruption. This episode is hosted by Scott Luton, and produced by Trisha Cordes, Joshua Miranda,…

El Cambio Cultural detrás del Volante

En este episodio de Supply Chain Now en Español, Sofía Rivas conversa con Adrián Trucios, CEO de Airbag, sobre un tema urgente pero poco visibilizado: la crisis cultural en la industria del transporte. Hoy en día los conductores en México y otros países de Latinoamérica viven una realidad muy obscura detrás del volante. Algo que todos sabemos, pero que pocos estamos activamente cambiando. En Airbag, Adrián y su equipo buscan, por medio de la gamificación, cambiar los incentivos perversos y evitar que los operadores lleguen al límite. Airbag es el primer software de recursos humanos para transportistas que te demuestra que cuidar al conductor es cuidar tu negocio. Si trabajas en logística, transporte o cadena de suministro, tienes que escuchar esto.   ¿Aún no te has suscrito a nuestra página en Youtube? https://bit.ly/SCNE_YouTube ¿Quieres mantenerte al tanto de nuestros episodios, invitados, eventos, y más? ⁠https://bit.ly/SCNE_Newsletter ¿Ya nos sigues en LinkedIn? ⁠ ⁠https://bit.ly/SCNE_LinkedIn
