The Change Leadership program was some of the smartest training I ever took. I shared and presented ideas surrounded by astute professionals and a savvy facilitator who moved us smoothly through the feeling, process, and affirmation of effective change in an organization. Oh, it’s also a lotta fun.

This program has two components: Change Enablement and The 21st Century Supply Chain Landscape
This part consists of a 4-day virtual session, where you will be a part of a leadership cohort working with a facilitator and program guide on the topic of change enablement.
Through this session, you will develop and enhance practical skills and technical capabilities supporting and delivering change. This session is not about managing change, it is about leading change. You are the change agent, facilitator and accelerator: you are the change enabler.
Completing this part by itself will earn you the PCE designation.
The session is a peer-to-peer experience, where you will be a part of a leadership cohort: share ideas, problems, solutions, and work with your peers to acquire new perspectives. This peer-to-peer learning is an important and invaluable component, as is collaboration with colleagues and peers on change issues.
This facilitated group-based session comprises a blend of practical activities, teaching sessions, case studies, and an online assessment with feedback.
CHANGE ENABLEMENT: as Change Leaders, we need to behave, lead and enable. In this module, we will explore each of these in terms of
During these four days, you will be in session through the day working with a team of your peers on a change project that will help you create your own framework for a change project, including building a stakeholder map, creating a change map, and understanding your behaviours and motivations, and identifying inefficacies.
Key topics include:

This part consists of two online modules that provide a strategic perspective on 21st century challenges in the global SC landscape. The modules are self-directed, and six months are provided to complete both. You will be working at your own pace within the six months.
In this first module, you will focus on SCL Ecosystems in terms of Competitive Advantage and Value Creation, exploring dynamics that contribute to a company’s competitive advantage. Content is designed to help you meet the challenges of 21st Century SCL eco-systems.
This module helps you explore Supply Chain Logistics as a business enabler, revenue driver and competitive differentiator, starting with the two key factors in competitive advantage – cost and differentiation. It helps you build a strategic thinking mindset focused on market differentiation, the demand for operational efficiencies and global competitiveness.
This module is delivered as a series of video lectures, and key topics include:
Applying your own experiences to the learning, you will build a Supply Chain Strategies portfolio using the workbook provided.
The second module steps up the Supply Chain Leadership challenge, with a focus on SCL Ecosystems on being organizationally responsible and accepting 21st century Leadership issues.
The challenge is for Supply Chain Logistics professionals to rethink everything. With the emerging “brave new world” of Big Data, this is even more critical. Value is based on knowledge exchange along complex highly interconnected global webs. The shift is immediate and far reaching: from transactions as the primary business goal to creating knowledge-sharing networks as the primary business goal. The challenge is to develop contextual intelligence shared across Supply Chain Logistics Ecosystems, as a strategic decision model, and competitive advantage is the ability to navigate complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity.
This module is continued as a series of video lectures, with a focus on:
Completing both parts 1 and 2 will earn you the P.Log designation.
