Supply Chain Insights Taps Next Generation Collaboration Platform to Accelerate Talent Development
A partnership between CorpU and Supply Chain Insights will integrate Founder of Supply Chain Insights Lora Cecere’s research on supply chain excellence into a series of online, expert-led learning sprints designed to build supply chain talent.
"Managing a global supply chain team today is not easy," says Cecere. "We find that 59 percent of companies are experiencing issues in training and retaining mid-management talent. One in three companies have open jobs that are taking nine to twelve months to fill. Talent is scarce and a new constraint. This is especially true in the areas of big data analytics, supply chain planning, and staffing centers of excellence."
Built on the CorpU platform each weeklong sprint uses next-generation collaboration technology to engage executives in structured and expert-led discussions about business challenges. During each sprint, supply chain leaders will evaluate operational data points and consider trade-offs necessary to build agile, high-performing supply chains. As a result, executives will develop a more holistic view of their business by analyzing quantitative and unstructured data – and identifying opportunities for acceleration and growth.
To be released in July, the seven sprints will address common supply chain challenges, from strategy to execution, including:
1. Supply Chain Metrics That Matter
2. Building the Customer Centric Supply Chain
3. The Market-Driven Value Network Journey
4. Making the Digital Pivot
5. End-to-End Supply Chain Orchestration
6. Driving Improvement in Decision Making Through Supply Chain Planning
7. Building Agility Through Horizontal Processes
We know travel budgets are tight," says Cecere. "Employees’ time is a constraint. As a result, we set out to bundle our research onto an e-learning platform which would allow supply chain organizations to learn in a meaningful way through social collaboration."
The sprint sequence, rooted in Cecere’s award-winning report on the changing face of enterprise technologies, incorporates Supply Chain Insights’ research findings, which was aggregated from over 6,000 supply chain employees – along with best practices from high performing supply chains.
“There is a talent shortage, and the shifts in technology are fast and furious. We’re excited to offer access to our research, packaged in a virtual learning program, and deliver bite-sized insights and improved collaboration," says Lora Cecere.
