01 / The question

How does an economics student become a supply chain manager with real, practical skills in the age of AI?

Three futures were mapped with the student—not to predict one answer, but to see which skills remain valuable across change.

Scenario A

A de-globalised world

Tariffs and trade blocs reshape where goods are made and how they move.

Trade policyGeopolitical riskNearshoring
Scenario B

Logistics automation

Robots and smart warehouses handle the goods. People design and run the system.

Warehouse techProcess designOperations data
Scenario C

The agentic economy

AI agents forecast, plan and order. The skill is designing and steering them.

02 / The method

One diagnosis. Dual tracks. One portfolio.

Every expert conversation and every piece of work strengthened the academic and career pathways at once.

What did each expert add?

01E-commerce

Cross-border platform practitioner

So what

Aim for roles close to revenue. The student’s languages are a clear edge.

02Data and AI

FMCG supply-chain data scientist

So what

AI is rewriting planning. Build in Python now, not after graduation.

03Logistics

International logistics expert

So what

Policy now moves freight. People who read it in three languages are rare.

03 / The portfolio

Lieferlage: the student’s own supply-chain briefing app.

Personal-statement research became a product: an interface that follows official EU policy news and links each update to a supply-chain decision.

THE STUDENT’S APP / ORIGINAL INTERFACE

Scroll through the work itself.

These are the student’s real Lieferlage screens. The interface is shown unchanged; scrolling reveals how the research product moves from live policy news to topics and learning.
