Operationalize Circularity. Reduce Risk. Increase Profits.
Deborah Dull fell in love with supply chain almost two decades ago over menu planning and workback schedules. She has explored different industries through a supply chain lens at Microsoft, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and General Electric. She has inspired thousands of supply chain professionals to learn about Circular Supply Chains through keynote speeches, podcasts, and peer-reviewed journals.

Look around you.
Everything you see was put there by one of us. By a supply chain professional. Every material that is in our economy today is there because we planned, sourced, made, moved, and managed it to where it is now today.
The relationship we have with materials needs to change.
The Circular Economy is an idea that materials deserve another shot at adding value in our economies. If we can use the principles of circularity, we can save the planet. In supply chain, we are the guardian angels of materials and inventory, and we have the power to change how to we operate today.
Across industries and around the world, supply chain professionals ask the same questions about what circularity means for our profession. The answers to these questions lay the foundation for us to have the conversations we need to have to keep our supply chains running - even as materials inside the earth dwindle and carbon emissions are on the rise.
Questions about Circular Supply Chains are answered in this book, such as:
- Why should we use Circular Supply Chains?
- Where can I get Circular Materials?
- Can we make our supply chains shorter?
- What about technology?
- How do I take the next step?
Do you ever think about the impact you make as a supply chain leader?
You play a critical role as a catalyst and as a leader to shape a better tomorrow.
Deborah Dull and Douglas Kent invite you to 'UNLEARN' the status quo and discover the all-around importance of fostering sustainable practices in your organization.
Through a transformative framework called 'UNLEARN', you'll learn how to:
- Unify Around "The Why"
- Navigate the Sustainability Universe
- Liberate from the Status Quo
- Evolve the Supply Chain
- Amplify the Story
- Ramp up Learnings and Change
- Nurture the New Approach

When a global supply chain crisis paralyzes Maya Patel's manufacturing company, she proposes a radical solution:
What if they could repair and manufacture critical components locally, rather than depending on distant suppliers?
What begins as an emergency response quickly evolves into something more profound.
Maya builds a network of repair hubs across London, connecting community repair with industrial resilience. As her team develops the technology to recover and recirculate materials locally, they create something revolutionary: a new model of circular supply chains that challenges the linear, extractive economy.
But powerful interests are threatened by this vision of local repair sovereignty. When manufacturers begin to push back against a model that extends product lifecycles instead of promoting replacement, Maya must navigate complex alliances to protect what they've built.
Full Circle: Supply Chains Reimagined is a story of transformation - personal and systemic - that reimagines our relationship with the products we use and the resources that make them. It explores how crisis can spark innovation, how repair wisdom can combine with cutting-edge technology, and how sovereignty over our supply chains might be the key to a more resilient future.
How can your supply chain drive sustainability and competitive advantage?
Circular Supply Chains is a practical guide for supply chain managers, analysts and strategists looking to shift from linear processes to circular, regenerative operations. As climate pressures rise, materials grow scarce and stakeholder expectations increase, this book shows how to embed circularity into every stage of your supply chain. Written for professionals ready to turn ambition into action, it bridges theory and execution through strategic models, digital tools and real-world examples that support transformation at scale.
You'll learn how to:
- Map, plan and optimize supply networks for circular outcomes
- Apply digital tools like repair demand sensing and radical transparency
- Integrate regenerative principles into sourcing, planning and logistics
- Use checklists and frameworks to drive measurable change
With a clear path from today's systems to future-ready supply chains, this is the essential resource to help mid-career professionals lead with resilience, innovation and impact.
Start building circular operations that deliver on sustainability, efficiency and long-term value.
What if you could hire a workforce that changes everything?
The convergence of large language models, transformer neural networks, and purpose-built AI hardware has made the "self-driving supply chain" possible.
Self-Driving Supply Chain provides a comprehensive, step-by-step framework for building your agentic workforce:
- PREPARE Learn the SCOR DS framework that gives you shared language for your transformation. Master the seven paradigm shifts that separate organizations who succeed with AI from those who struggle.
- HIRE Define requirements for your AI agents just like you would for human employees. Evaluate your options from embedded AI to full agentic workforce solutions. Negotiate terms that protect your interests and align costs with value.
- ONBOARD Prepare your team, systems, and organizational knowledge. Configure your agents with goals, tools, training, and appropriate autonomy.
- MANAGE Set expectations that create alignment across your hybrid workforce. Supervise both AI agents and human team members effectively through feedback, retraining, and parameter adjustments.
- RESKILL Navigate external changes like regulations and market shifts. Respond to technical changes in platforms and data sources. Evolve as the professional that you're becoming.
