Faster! Better! Smarter! Cheaper! Today's organizations are demanding more from their Materials and Resource Management professionals. That is because today's customers are expecting their suppliers to provide them with products and services faster, cheaper and more reliable than the competition. The stakes are high if you want your organization to be profitable and stay in business. And today’s Operations Managers rightly expect their Materials Groups to provide systems-wide efficiencies improvements and do it quickly without operational impacts.
Managing an integrated supply chain, both external and internal, is recognized by most experts as the key to an organization's success in the 2000's so it comes as no surprise that companies are looking for (and rewarding) employees who can provide leadership in making those critical supply chains function efficiently. Effective employees understand that no organization in the supply chain can succeed unless ALL succeed. They also understand that corporate and personal success comes from crafting working relationships and agreements with those in their supply chain who they rely on as well as those who rely on them.
Interestingly enough, all the lessons we learn from observing employees who are successful in managing their supply chain are mirrored in observing Dorothy's experience in Oz. This lively, interactive workshop will provide participants an opportunity to explore their role in their "personal" supply chain and gain confidence in his/her role as a leader who can make positive changes happen. Using class exercises, personal assessment and group discussions we will build on the skills, attitudes and actions of leadership found along the "yellow brick road" and apply those lessons to make our own careers successful.
Because supply chain leadership involves all functions within organizations, this workshop will prove helpful to persons at every level and every job description. This day is an opportunity for employees to take a "time out" from the everyday challenges of their job and refocus on the skills, desire, and resolve it takes to give effective leadership in today’s supply chain. Who are your current and future leaders in Resource Management?
