Digital supply chain management - learning to create value

During your 5 days at the IMD campus, you focus on the opportunities created by digitization, by new consumer segments and integrated technologies and explore how to get more value from your supply chain and improve profits.

  • Leverage information flows and customer insights
  • Use latest business analytics to better forecast
  • Manage cross-functional coordination and execution
  • Roll out your supply chain across geographies
