Specialization: Supply Chain Resilience
Building Resilient Global Supply Chains
In globally competitive markets, companies strive to deliver value to customers, by developing and managing unique supply chains that differentiate them from competitors, and by integrating end-to-end logistics processes from suppliers to customers to manage costs and increase net profits. This is the SCL business eco-system, aka SCL Value Web.
Supply chain risk is increasing globally. The financial impact of supply chain disruptions can be devastating and is often not understood until it is too late. Supply chain strategies driven primarily by cost management and delivery improvements are no longer comprehensive enough to ensure competitive success.
- Do you understand the differences between robust and resilient supply chain strategies?
- How do you identify and plan for internal risks in your company along complex global supply chains?
- Do you know how to handle unexpected external risks? Disruptions? Catastrophes?
- What are your company recovery plans?
- Do your plans focus only on organizational and business issues or do they extend to the realities of social, economic, environmental and personal factors?
Supply Chain Resilience is increasingly a competitive differentiator. Supply Chain Resilience is the capability and capacity of a supply chain network collectively/holistically, and of individual participants in that network individually, to “bounce back” from the impact of a risk event, quickly, cost-effectively, and in line with the overall value proposition.

PART 2: Supply Chain Leadership
SCL Leadership has three modules that must be completed in sequence.
- You are given 45 days to complete each level.
In this 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:
- Strategic POV: Competitive Advantage
- Market Dynamics
- E-Commerce and e-Supply Chain Logistics
- Disruption: Amazon Effect
- Perspectives: strategic, customer-based, market and trade-off
During the course of this module, you will be led through several exercises that build on your own experiences and awareness of the topic.
This 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 with 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:
- Business Engagement Architecture
- Dynamics of Responsible Supply Chain Logistics: Flow, Capability, Discipline
- Circular Economy: Reverse Logistics
- Market Dynamics: Disruptive Innovation
- Disrupting SCL: Big Data
- Capacity to Lead
- Leadership Decision Tools
During the course of this module, you will be led through several exercises that build on your own experiences and awareness of the topic.
This module uses cases, diagnostic tools and simulations to enhance your strategic decision-making skills. It leads you to develop helpful concepts in terms of leading organizations and implementing change. Learning objectives include:
- Key topics for 21st-century leadership skills development: Sustainability, Organizational Resistance, Being a Change Agent.
- Three key concepts of leadership are addressed: Power, Influence and Action
- The simulation gives you hands-on experiential skills by putting you directly into the multiple complex issues that companies face when dealing with shifting market demands.
During the course of this module, you will be led through several exercises that build on your own experiences to create an enhanced awareness of yourself as a leader.
