Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Leading Global Supply Chains


Professor Martin Christopher will lead this three-day programme for senior professionals in logistics and supply chain management in an interactive workshop-style environment.  He will be joined by colleagues, Dr Janet Godsell and Steve Kuhlmann and together they will share the results of their latest research and insights gained from working with many of the world’s leading companies.

Today’s global marketplace is characterised by turbulence and uncertainty and these conditions show no sign of abating.  In such challenging times it is even more critical for organisations to develop logistics and supply chain strategies that will enhance responsiveness to change whilst enabling profitable operations to be sustained.  How these challenges can be met is the focus of this event.  The workshop will be intensive but informal with ample opportunity for participant’s specific issues to be explored and debated.

What will I get out of the programme?

You will:
  • Explore new frameworks to cope with turbulence and volatility
  • Learn how to develop supply chains that are truly demand-driven
  • Understand how market segments and supply chains can be aligned
  • Recognise and manage complexity across supply chains
  • Gain insights into how change can be successfully managed in supply chains
  • Develop knowledge of the leadership skills necessary to lead global supply chains.

What is the programme about?

  • Managing complexity in a global supply chain
  • Converting the supply chain into a demand chain
  • The latest thinking in supply chain management
  • Key leadership skills for supply chain managers. 

Who is the programme for?

The programme is designed to take a multi-disciplinary view of the challenges facing global supply chains.  Hence the programme will be of value to all those involved in any aspect of supply chain management.  It is expected that delegates will be drawn from a cross-section of industry sectors.
