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.

Do you have the ability to model the cost, service, and risk implications of potential supply chain decisions? Here’s how better supply chain network design benefits your business and customers—and how to get started today. If your organization has a physical supply chain, supply chain network design is a critical capability to create digital models of your current and future supply chain to test the impact and performance of multiple alternatives—before you invest a dime. Join C.H. Robinson and Optilogic in a practical discussion on how leading companies are taking a balanced approach to optimizing across multiple criteria such as cost, service, risk, and carbon emissions when developing supply chain strategy.
