What is the Implementation-Focused Supply-Chain course about?
Even with strong strategy and tooling, teams struggle to operationalize modern supply-chain practices because implementation requires more than tech, it demands alignment across governance, decision rights, feedback loops, and iterative delivery. Without a clear playbook, progress stalls or fragments.
