Improve Supply Chain Effectiveness at the Leadership
Level
(5 Days)
Leadership Week is an
intensive, five-day workshop held in a Rocky Mountain retreat that will help you
explore some of
the most inventive solutions ever devised for supply chain problems, and apply
the lessons learned to your business.
Leadership Week is based on the principles of Delivering the Goods.
Learn the Qualities of a Supply Chain-Savvy Corporate
Leader
Most of the qualities that define the great captains of
history also are the qualities that define the supply chain-savvy corporate
leader.
Leadership
Week includes an analysis of many of the great captains of
logistics,
Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Napoleon, the Duke of
Wellington, Gus Pagonis, and Norman Schwarzkopf.
The workshop also looks at
business leaders, consultants and educators Archibald Shaw, Henry Ford,
Sam Walton, Philip Kotler, Keith Oliver as well as others, in addition to
illuminating the logistical aspect of such famous business failures as the South
Sea Bubble and the recent dot-com bubble.
See and Harness Your Entire Supply Chain, and Its
Assets
Supply chain-savvy leaders truly lead rather than just
manage their supply chains. They anticipate and influence change rather than
merely reacting to it. They recognize that their supply chain partners are their
most important asset rather than their most perplexing problem.
During Leadership Week, you will examine every aspect of
your supply chain: your understanding of your own organization, your
understanding of other organizations in your supply chain, how you balance
relationships between organizations, and how you lead your extended supply
chain.
Integrate Sound Supply Chain Management
Into
Your Product Life Cycle
Knowing your supply chain means knowing
every product that comes to market goes through a succession of
stages, a life cycle, much like in the diagram shown below,
spanning multiple organizations. This diagram is further
complicated when your supply chain supports multiple products at
various stages in the life cycle.
Supply chain-savvy corporate leaders are finding it necessary to
retrain the product managers who monitor each specific product
category or product line. Product managers are being retrained to view the supply chain as an obstacle
course of trucks and buildings that goods have to "fight through"
in order to reach the end consumer.
Leadership Week will help you develop
product managers to be responsible for both
creating demand—the
first half of the marketplace challenge—and satisfying
demand—including and especially satisfying the end customer's
natural demand for speedy and accurate delivery.
Measure the Effectiveness of Your Supply Chain
Many corporate leaders are coming to realize poor returns on their
investment in information technology.
The annual State of Logistics Report suggests many
industries are no more efficient today than they were a decade
ago.
During Leadership Week, you will clearly define your global supply chain objectives,
and establish reliable
measurements to track the physical flow of goods as they wind
their way to the end consumer. These objectives and measurements
will then form the basis of measuring the effectiveness of your
supply chain, over the next decade.
Supply Chain and Perspective, Commitment and Results
Leadership Week will help you:
-
Learn the six critical
characteristics of a supply chain-savvy
leader: foresight, flexibility, economy, simplicity, cooperation and
innovation;
-
Practice the exercise of Know Your Company, Know Your
Customer, in order to
clearly define your global
supply chain objectives;
Discover through a confidential profile assessment how
other constituents of your supply chain perceive your leadership
effectiveness;
Use the Rapid Incentive Prototyping Methodology to
diagnose and resolve organizational misalignments;
Learn from your supply chain partners as you compare
best practices on how to add value to your own organization;
Organize a group of trouble shooters to monitor supply chain problems and
dilemmas;
Build a high-trust supply chain committed to a clear vision and
common goals.
