Course Overview

The value of preparation for global supply chain security is only visible on the day it is needed. A control on chain security that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the corporate security practice discipline is examined from more than one functional angle. Applied research in corporate security practice consistently shows that early structure around global supply chain security reduces downstream rework. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the practice within corporate security practice, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. A common pattern is strong design of chain security paired with weak follow-through. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about global supply chain security. It concentrates on the parts of chain security that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the corporate security practice capability ready to put in front of a decision maker.
