"Oh soul, fear things grandiose,
And if you are unable to master your ambitions,
serve them with hesitation, with precaution.
And the farther you advance,
the more you must be questioning and careful."

Dr. Panos Kouvelis is the Emerson Distinguished Professor of Supply Chain, Operations, and Technology at Washington University in St. Louis.  He is also the Director of The Boeing Center for Supply Chain Innovation, a supply chain management research center operating within Washington University's Olin Business School.

"Supply chain management is all about dealing with complexity and risks. At a broad level three different approaches work well: eliminating unnecessary complexity and preventable risks; restructuring or reducing remaining complexity and risks for increased profitability and market responsiveness; and finally, mitigating remaining complexity and risks through the right combination of operational and financial hedges."
