Bob Price faces the challenge of leading a “green” supply chain training organization which enables companies to operate more sustainably around the world. As Bob points out, “Reducing costs and increasing operational efficiency in the supply chain is an obvious concern. What is less obvious is how to do it consistently and effectively.” He turned to MIT Sloan Executive Education because it offered the ideal blend of strategies and tools to help him gain greater appreciation of collaboration across the supply chain and to use technology more effectively.
“The problem with most contemporary approaches to improvement used by supply chain executives is that they are either too simplistic or unrealistic. After 20 years of experience, I found that MIT Sloan Executive Education offers excellent programs that combine pragmatic benchmarked techniques with innovative ideas that operations practitioners can apply regardless of their industry. Moreover, the interdisciplinary exposure that you get from the MIT faculty, along with the invaluable global peer network, makes these programs the ultimate executive development experience.”
