CAPS - W.P. Carey SCM Thought-Leaders Webinar Series: Behavioral Levers for Responsible Supply Chain Decisions
As supply chain teams face increasing pressure to manage supplier risk and advance sustainability goals, procurement plays a key role in driving responsible change. In this upcoming webinar, W. P. Carey Distinguished Chair and Professor Karen Donohue will share insights from behavioral operations research, showing how small, purposeful adjustments to information or decision context can lead to better sustainability and supplier risk outcomes, without adding new mandates or incentives.
Attendees will gain insight into:
- Why procurement behavior often diverges from intended sustainability goals
- How small design changes can shift supplier risk assessment
- Practical nudges that influence decisions
- How to embed responsible decision-making into existing sourcing processes
