About this Course

Supply chains are the lifeblood of many organizations. However, with changing consumer expectations and the emergence of disruptive technologies, traditional supply chain practices now fall short. Supply chain leaders must adopt strategic innovation if they want to navigate this shifting environment and gain a competitive edge.

The Leading Supply Chain Innovation Program from the Executive Education team at the Yale School of Management empowers you to facilitate this innovation. Over six weeks, the program delves into industry best practices, with an emphasis on seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technologies into supply chain operations. Centring on creating value through innovation, the program explores ways to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to reinvent your operations, build resilience, and construct responsible and sustainable supply chains. Additionally, it offers deep insights into the decision-making processes of real-world leaders tackling the complex task of transforming a supply chain organization. Rooted in practical case studies, the program equips you with immediately applicable insights to lead transformations throughout the supply chain life cycle.

This program is designed for existing or aspiring supply chain leaders with a solid understanding of the supply chain life cycle and a minimum of ten years of experience in essential functions such as warehousing, transportation, operations, and logistics.

If you’re a strategy-oriented professional motivated to advance your career by leading your supply chain organization's innovation and digitization, this program might be for you. It’s suitable for seasoned leaders in the supply chain, specialists in supply chain transformation, integrators of supply chain technology, planners in the supply chain, managers in operations or logistics, experts in change management, strategists focused on growth, and AI enthusiasts.
