AISCR FLAGSHIP EXECUTIVE MASTERCLASS
March 24–25, 2026 | 2 Days | Live Online
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Global supply chains are being reshaped by geopolitical shifts, inflation, digital acceleration, regionalization, and capital constraints, pressures that are intensified in emerging markets by weak infrastructure, regulatory volatility, currency instability, and fragmented supplier networks. Yet many organizations still treat supply chain as operational rather than strategic, leading to misaligned networks, margin erosion, excess working capital, and weak competitiveness. This program is designed for leaders who want to move beyond operational supply chain management toward building supply chains that shape market outcomes, strengthen resilience, and drive competitive advantage.
Purpose of Masterclass
The aim of this program is to provide participants with hands-on tools and strategic frameworks for diagnosing supply chain challenges, evaluating trade-offs, and designing supply chain strategies that support market leadership and long-term profitability.

- Align supply chain configuration with corporate and growth strategy
