📝 General Introduction 

In today’s volatile and interconnected global economy, supply chains are no longer just operational mechanisms—they are strategic assets that require robust governance at the highest levels of leadership. For executive managers, understanding and applying governance principles to supply chain operations is essential to ensure transparency, risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and long-term value creation.

This 5-day workshop is designed to empower senior executives with the knowledge, tools, and strategic mindset to lead supply chain governance initiatives across their organizations. Participants will explore governance frameworks, ethical sourcing, stakeholder alignment, digital oversight, and performance accountability.

Through interactive sessions, case studies, and executive-level simulations, attendees will learn how to embed governance into procurement, logistics, supplier relations, and sustainability practices. By the end of the program, leaders will be equipped to drive resilient, ethical, and high-performing supply chains that align with corporate strategy and global standards.
