Throughout 2021-2022, Alcott Global hosted over 200 supply chain and human resources leaders, professional coaches, and trainers in over 60 podcast episodes and 4 global supply chain summits. We embarked on this learning journey, with over 20,000 supply chain professionals, keeping the pulse of the supply chain industry.

          In our quarterly reports, we aim at continuing to make available the knowledge, ideas, and learning shared. Much has been shared by today’s leaders of supply chain organizations’ on Collaboration, Sustainability, and Organizational Culture, which make the subject of the present report. There are many ways of looking at collaboration, from peer-to-peer collaboration, to collaborative work at the team, organization, and industry levels. A collaborative mindset could be a strong value as part of the supply chain organization’s culture, along with ownership, forward-leaning, and drive to create a safe, sustainable, productive, and connected future.

          Supply chain CEOs are responsible not only for the financial success of the operations but also for the company’s long-term sustainability. Successful leaders understand that a company’s culture is as important to the bottom line as warehouse technologies, distribution tools, and operations systems. A collaborative culture results in measurable improvements like increased productivity, better service quality, decreased workplace injuries, and lower employee turnover.

          Last, but not least, check out the last chapter for advice and strategies the supply chain professionals could adopt for successful career transitions. There could be many reasons why people seek to change careers. It could be that one’s career goals and values have changed, or there’s an interest in new industries with high potential for long-term opportunities, or one can be eager for a new challenge. Before making any decision, it’s recommended to take some time to evaluate your current situation, to be sure that your career really needs a make-over, and this is an exercise that will set the grounds for your commitment to the path that lays ahead in such an important shift.
