The Premier Executive Education Development Program for Global Supply Chain LeadersProgram DescriptionThis course focuses on several key dimensions that are relevant to the challenge of managing and improving global supply chains, and on structuring and implementing effective global supply chain strategies. With an emphasis on developing priorities and initiatives that are aligned with an organization's core business and overall supply chain goals and objectives, topics to be highlighted include: supply chain process design; supply chain risk and uncertainty; financial implications; relationships and outsourcing; and leadership and change management. These topics are particularly relevant to modern enterprises, where process integration is a key to success, and where there is much greater transparency and collaboration between traditional boundaries of function, organization, and geography. Often these relationships and processes have a truly global context, thus creating the truly globally-integrated supply chain. Program participants examine critical issues related to planning, designing, and operating highly effective, integrated supply chains.Learning Objectives
