LEADERSHIP IN CONTEXT
THE CONTEXT: Supply Chain Logistics in the new VUCA reality.
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.
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.
This program is more than an offer of information, benchmarking or best practices. The in-person setting allows for facilitated interactive sessions that provide insights into today’s business challenges, and generate discussions that are a catalyst for professionals seeking a new level of organizational leadership. As a participant, you will be challenged by sessions that examine the complexity of business and interpersonal relationships while building on the foundation of your own experience and insight.
