As supply chain executives become more instrumental in supporting long term strategic objectives for their firms, they need to complement traditional SC operational knowledge with a more strategic view of their role in delivering aligned results to the business. This course addresses this requirement by exposing and explaining to supply chain leaders different lenses of strategic planning applied to SCM and the specific implications on SC operations.

During the course, attendees will have several opportunities to assess their current supply chain strategy, formulate a new one, discuss about keys to implement a supply chain strategy, and how to review and align one.

For the duration of the course, participants will have the opportunity to play with an extended simulation game of a fictional company, and see the impact of supply chain strategic decisions in real time, while monitoring their ability to manage uncertainty and deliver financial results for the firm.
