Build the competencies required to implement a resilient supply chain strategy through this program. Its goal is to help you examine risk from a strategic perspective, while exploring new avenues to succeed in the face of constant challenge, change and opportunity.
The program uses case studies to guide you through assessing key issues and vulnerabilities faced by supply chains. With the framework provided, you build a heat map for your own organization, and gain new perspectives to “bounce back” from the impact of a risk event, quickly, cost-effectively, and in line with the overall value proposition.
Helping you develop a deeper understanding of the complexity of business eco-systems, it sharpens your systems-thinking mindset to enable you to engage effectively in complex SCL systems.
This program is recommended for seasoned candidates with strategic-level responsibilities, or responsible for a resilience strategy portfolio for your organization.
