The Leadership Program

Welcome to the Leadership Program!

THE CONTEXT:    Strategic Leadership for the 21st century.

THE FOCUS:         YOU. A leader who wears many hats.

This revised program has been exclusively designed to focus on the skills and capabilities needed to succeed amid the new landscape of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity [VUCA] created by the pandemic. Using the fast fashion supply chain, and with peers, colleagues, and other leaders, consider the impacts of globalization, sustainability, SCL optimization and big data on our current supply chain and logistics landscape.

Guiding you through the strategic issues faced by logistics and supply chain professionals today, this program pushes you outside your comfort zone and challenges you to think outside the box. The goal is to become a certified P.Log: a leader who is equipped to drive innovative strategies to deal with problems creatively and proactively, to be a catalyst for a culture of change, and have the competitive edge to create and sustain value.
