Supply Chain Leadership and Innovation Program (SCLIP)
The Supply Chain Leadership and Innovation Program (SCLIP) is the latest program from the MIT Global SCALE Network to address the rapidly emerging need to enhance supply chain management talent and prepare leaders who value:
- The complexity of global supply chains.
- Systems thinking.
- Theory for devising meaningful innovative solutions.
- A global mindset while focusing on local idiosyncrasies.
The SCLIP program is a specifically designed for supply chain professionals seeking new ways to manage their rapidly expanding responsibilities and rising expectations. SCLIP promotes a different ‘way of thinking’ that creates an innovative mindset to deal with business problems in a practical yet principled and holistic manner. SCLIP employs a problem-based learning and action-learning pedagogy to combine theory, games & simulations, case studies and mentored real-business projects to equip participants with practical skills and rigorous knowledge.
