Supply Chain Academy

We work with leading companies to develop and deliver comprehensive supply chain capability building programs. Our programs are tailored and modular. Companies can start small and simple, and continue to add learning components over time where they add most value.

Our uniquely blended and comprehensive (end-to-end supply chain) learning components (assessments, e-learning, experiential simulation game-based face to face and virtual workshops) provide the flexibility to modern learners and global companies to take their learning journeys as they want to, at a global scale.

We work with key stakeholders in supply chain and learning & development functions of the company to help fine tune competency frameworks, identify roles and develop learning journeys for each role. So that, each individual, in collaboration with their managers and HR can chart out their own specific learning journey based on their own career aspirations and current competency levels.

Our Global Professional Challenge Competition:

The Fresh Connection Professional Global Challenge Competition is designed as a unique competitive event for our corporate clients. Company teams (members from the same company), as well as Individuals teams (members from different companies), made up of four people, take part in open training workshops and go on to play the local regional finals. The challenge – save a century old fruit juice manufacturing company from the brink of disaster.

Winners of the regional finals move to the Global Final stage where they test their mettle against the best of the best supply chain professionals across the world.

Winning the Global Finals is a testament and huge recognition by itself. As an added reward, the winning team of four gets the reward of an intensive four-day Executive Education SCM Course at MIT.

A challenge in teaching advanced supply chain principles to students is their lack of real-life experience, and hence their inability to relate the learning to past experiences. The Fresh Connection Game (TFC) from our partner Inchainge is a great learning tool that helps students bridge the gap between theory and practice. It helps them understand, relate to real-life supply chain challenges, and apply the core principles to make strategic and tactical decisions in a simulation game mode for a near real company. The experiential learning impact is powerful and long lasting.

The Fresh Connection Game is versatile and can be used for courses of different complexity for all levels of education. For educators and students, the text book ‘Mastering the Supply Chain, by Ed Weenk’, serves as an additional course supplement for teaching core principles of supply chain in the context of the TFC game environment.

For the above reasons, leading Universities across the world have embraced TFC as an integral part of their supply chain curriculum; at both Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels.

We actively work with University professors through our Train the Trainer programs, and provide guidance on designing effective supply chain management courses incorporating TFC game play.
