Program Objective
We're more connected than ever before.
Globalization. Uncertainty. Technology. Big Data. Sustainability.
All of these make our world today, and our supply chains in particular more complex, integrated, and reliant on each other than ever before. We can no longer look at supply chains as linear, nor our relationships within them as simple or transactional.
This program seeks to broaden your perspective of your business environment. It aims to boost your awareness of the issues affecting supply chains today, and the potential impact on the next 10 years.
It provides a ready-to-use template that can be applied to your organization, including a thorough analysis of the current situation, and creating a scenario plan for critical change.
