WEBINAR: Bridging the Gap: Investigating the Disconnect Between Supply Chains and the People Who Run Them
Our profession has a tendency to disconnect discussions about how to create high performing supply chains from how to create high performing supply chain employees and teams. We see this in both business and academia. In business, HR is often seen as more administrative than strategic, and supply chain and HR metrics and strategy are often not aligned. It’s a similar situation in academia, with even the great Michael Porter viewing HR as an administrative role.
In this webinar, as part of our webinar series, “The Bridge,” we’ll explore the reasons behind the disconnect and how to bridge the gap between supply chains and the people who run them.
