Supply chain professionals have a new executive training program tailored to their needs.
The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) last week launched the Senior Executive Institute, a multi-stage program that “aims to provide participants with the tools to build their own management systems that are aligned with their corporate missions, yet flexible enough to take them into the future,” CSCMP said in a statement.
Over the course of 16 months, the Senior Executive Institute will steer C-level supply chain executives through a series of three- or four-day sessions, cumulatively designed to help the leaders better motivate their workers. The five sessions will cover discipline, strategic thinking, planning, leverage, and integration for sustainability. Each will take place in a different location. The program begins in late April with a session on discipline in Baltimore, and continues at roughly four-month intervals through June 2011.
“One of the key responsibilities of a senior executive is to design, create, and implement a successful management system to ensure the health of his or her organization, now and in the future,” said CSCMP’s Program Chair John Caltagirone, vice president of manufacturing, distribution, and trade for the Revere Group, in the statement. “Our institute provides supply chain executives with the optimal educational environment for mastering this task.”
