My name is Michael D’heur and I am the founder and managing director of shared.value.chain
At shared.value.chain our vision is to integrate economic and societal value creation into a platform for profitable sustainable growth
Current way of doing business is not sustainable, as it removes the base for profitable growth and societal value
There is a lot of untapped potential in global value chains – shifting the focus away from pure efficiencies to inclusive cross-collaboration allows for sustainability
Can you imagine that your value chain becomes the main driver for economic and societal value?
Sustainable shared value creation provides a contribution to economic and societal value creation
Mission - Our mission is to embed sustainable shared value creation into the core business – utilizing flexible and sustainable value chains
We work with clients across industries to increase competitiveness and profitability
How - We provide think tank and management advisory services to corporations, academia, governments and NGOs – focused on tangible results
We do research on latest trends
We provide think tank services
We provide management consulting and implementation services
Results: Greener products, less waste, less inventory, shorter lead times, better product margins
Let me give you some context on what I mean. In the supply chain world we are talking about ‘the new normal’ for some time now. The operating environment for a supply chain manager or logistics expert was driven by increased globalization, outsoucing of work and new consumers in emerging countries. The question was, how do I operate across cultural boundaries and time zones.
The current economic (linear) model is driving a number of other factors: Scarce resources (Peak oil, Peak Everything, Raw Earth)....
We have a number of accelerators has well: Natural disasters like hurricanes, droughts, floodings / Emerging technologies that are disrupting business models (Social media, Internet of Things, Internet based business models) / Man made crisis (Global financial crisis, Euro crisis, War for resources)
This drives a number of key questions: ...
Market volatility:
Strong volatility on demand and supply side
New/emerging markets and customer groups
Rapidly changing demographics
Global value chains:
Strong interdependencies in global value chains
Stability of suppliers and partners
Accelerating rate of change and higher flexibility requirements
Scarce resources:
Availability of fossil fuels
Scarce minerals and raw materials
Loss of farmland, potable water and biodiversity
Linear production model ‚take-make-throw awa
Profit versus Purpose:
Record profits versus bancrupt communities
Labor conditions in the supply chain
New requirements of legislators and stakeholders
Natural Disasters:
Hurricanes
Floodings
Droughts
Technology:
Social Media
New Internet Based Business Models
Man made crises:
Global financial crisis
Euro Crisis
War for Resources
Essentially: If you were of are responsible for managing the value chain of a company with multi-national subsidiaries/customers you, have been on the ride (at least latest since 2008)
All driven by the prevalent economic linear model: bigger, better, faster, more -> evaluated in revenue, profit and GDP

I would like to talk about change today. Not a change that is ahead of us, but one where we are already right in the middle of. An it is a change that goes beyond what we have experienced as mankind so far......
90% of global data created in the last 2 years
From 4 Zetabytes to 35 by 2020
Blurring of boundaries between physical and digital value chain
Cost reduction through asset sharing
RESILIENT
To be ‚less bad‘ is not enough, as we are only delaying the problems associated with the current economic system. Stop chasing the dream of ‚perpetual‘ growth
AGILE - TAKE ACTION AND DELIVER RESULTS
Talking about Sustainability is great, but taking action (even in small steps) is better
COLLABORATIVE
To solve the challenges ahead, new ways of cross-sector collaboration are required
ETHICAL
Sustainability is an opportunity for companies for better products and tapping into new markets
