Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the practice of coordinating sourcing, production, inventory management and transportation among all the actors and focuses on speed, cost and reliability of operations.

Sustainable SCM adds the goals of environmental and social values to it and this means addressing global issues such as climate change, water security, deforestation, human rights, fair labour practices corruption etc.

In short Raju Rao (LinkedIn profile) says we have to consider all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN. SCM is inherently operational though various projects could be identified within the chain.

The Sustainability paradigm has added another dimension for projects within SCM because many of the initiatives being discussed now and in the near future are in fact projects.

These are guided by the recent interest in principles and practices of circular economy, sustainable sourcing waste recovery & management, resource efficiency, reverse logistics etc among others.

At some point in time, possibly in the coming decade, sustainability as a mindset will be fully set and one would view it as a an operational parameter, till then all efforts to become sustainable will be achieved largely through projects.

Learning Outcomes:

• What is SCM and Sustainable SCM?
• Principles & Practices for SCM to become sustainable
• Project Management Framework & Methodology for Sustainable SCM
• What can we do as project professionals?

The bitter truth is that most companies (including some big names) are only focused on one small part of the value stream — yet, they are lauded as leaders in the space — absolving them of having a half-baked offering. This incorrect perspective is hurting businesses that are unable to implement VSM as it is truly meant to be.

Join Lance Knight (LinkedIn profile) COO ConnectAll as he attempts to cut through the noise and address the misconception that the “consortium of value stream management influencers” have created.

It is critical that we do this because we actually seriously care about helping companies and employees be more efficient, less stressful, and ultimately bring predictability to their software delivery.

Here we are, 10 months after the biggest bang of most of our careers – generative AI – and the question is no longer what is it, but how are organizations putting it into action?

Generative AI accelerated the business agility agenda from discussions to proactionary approaches and strategies, but few organizations have determined the best ways to measure and quantify these initiatives or consistently track them to demonstrate shareholder value.

In this webinar Frances Karamouzis  (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Chief of Research explores the realities of generative AI versus the hype.

You will get real-life examples of organizations that have taken actions and funded initiatives. Gartner experts will take you through different categories of generative AI, the cost side of the equation, and the measurements of value to help your organization determine the best path forward.

Discussion Topics:

• Identify the realities of actioned investments vs. the hype 10 months after GenAI’s emergence
• Determine the framework for identifying, vetting, and funding AI and generative AI initiatives
• Explore value measurement and quantification
