George Sifakis: Sustainability: It's a<br />

buzzword today and a wide-ranging topic<br />

across the planet. What are some key aspects<br />

of sustainability that you're not only focused<br />

on but solving for?<br />

Sheri Hashemi: As I'm still in my Ph.D.<br />

dissertation right now, I've made a<br />

refinement to my topic to cover<br />

sustainability for air cargo and supply<br />

chain management using resilience to help<br />

drive sustainability. What sustainability is<br />

to me is the ability to endure. It's the ability<br />

to keep going and to keep moving.<br />

Resilience is the ability to come back and<br />

to resolve when disruptions come through.<br />

Those are two very key pieces for what<br />

we're coming up with, especially when<br />

talking about Sustainable Development<br />

Goal Nine of resilient infrastructure. By<br />

having resilience and having the ability to<br />

overcome, you can have the ability to<br />

endure.<br />

George: That's incredible, and so<br />

switching over to big data, we've got this<br />

powerful stream of data in companies<br />

like L3 Harris, and it seems to me that<br />

there are resources to solve the<br />

sustainability issues of today utilizing this<br />

data. What do you believe needs to be<br />

done to implement the solutions to solve<br />

these issues, and why hasn't it happened<br />

already?<br />

Sheri: Currently, I think there are<br />

barriers in place. As for the why, I think<br />

there are barriers between where that data<br />

is coming from and then really being able<br />

to understand and optimize how to use<br />

the data. Sometimes, you can end up in<br />

analysis paralysis, where you think you<br />

don't have enough data or you think you<br />

have too much.<br />
