Introduction
Duration: 6 weeks (excluding orientation)
The global economy is founded on effective supply chains. Yet, with shifting consumer expectations and escalating challenges, conventional supply chain practices need to evolve to keep up. Supply chain leaders must embrace strategic innovation to steer their organizations through a changing landscape and establish a competitive edge.
The Leading Supply Chain Innovation Program from the Executive Education team at the Yale School of Management prepares you to oversee this change. For six weeks, you’ll investigate optimal approaches for incorporating new technologies into the supply chain life cycle and gain practical insights into the decision-making approach of leaders who have had success. You’ll also discover methods for using artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to build resilience and value, and explore ways to establish environmentally responsible supply chains in your specific context. Walk away with immediately applicable frameworks, techniques, and insights to confidently lead your supply chain organization’s reinvention.
