An Overview of the New ASCM Supply Chain Sustainability Course:

Building a Sustainable Supply Chain: Best Practices and Solutions

Noon - 1:30 PM PDT

Why Attend:

We are experiencing a climate change crisis and must create a workable strategy to fix it. 

This overview of the new ASCM course is the first step in a two-step process; its purpose is to create awareness of the course. It also allows the webinar attendee to evaluate the course’s potential to add value to their corporation’s sustainability journey.   The second step is for the attendee to commit to taking it and increasing their understanding of how best sustainability practices improve enterprise performance.

The course describes how supply chain professionals Plan, Order, Source, Transform, Fulfill, Return, and Orchestrate strategic processes that directly impact a company’s economic performance, the environment, and society.  It will create an integrated “big picture” for the attendee to act and build on, contribute significant value to this critical global transition, and enhance their career path.

Attendee Take-Away:

A new course developed by ASCM focused on sustainability has been designed specifically for supply chain and operations management professionals.  It is intended as an instructor-led course and will offer the student a certificate when completed.  Scheduled workshops using the courseware will be provided in just a few months.  Initially, the demand for a seat in the course will exceed the supply.  Often the value of something is determined by time and circumstance.  The following quote is a good example:

“Climate change is marching to its own timetable; it currently has the “upper hand.”  Nations are investing at historical levels to mitigate this unprecedented social and economic threat.  What is emerging is an era of challenging but exciting change for those in manufacturing operations and supply chain management.

When going into battle, a plastic knife isn’t going to let you carve your way to victory.  But, when supply chain and operations management professionals and their organizations are educated on best sustainability practices and implemented into regular business flows, they will win the battle.”

Who Should Attend This Webinar?

It depends:

1. If your company has a few co-workers from different disciplines who are sustainability conscious, they should.
2. Those from fields outside the supply chain or operations management discipline are always welcome.
3. A team of like-minded individuals is essential if you want to succeed; an old axiom applies – “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
4. The company's “thought leader.” Every organization has one!
