Discover the paramount skills for supply chain leaders

Storytelling and change management are the most important skills for supply chain leaders. Even more important than the ability to think about strategy, transformation, resilience and scenario planning.

Key challenges for supply chain executives include digitalization, sustainability, and resilience, often linked to cost reduction. To succeed in the global supply chain transformation, executives need skills in rallying teams and persuading other departments to engage.

To ensure the success of such a transformation, storytelling and change management are indispensable skills. Supply chain executives need to get everyone in their teams on board with the transformation, even though supply chain teams have been under tremendous pressure over the past few years. Supply chain executives must also convince their peers in other disciplines, such as Sales, Finance, Human Resources and IT, and engage them in the transformation.
