Course Overview

Most recovery effort on medical supply chain restructuring is spent on problems that were visible early. The estimate for chain restructuring that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Mature organisations treat the project and portfolio delivery discipline as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Participants test their assumptions about medical supply chain restructuring against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this area of project and portfolio delivery under scrutiny. The programme suits teams tackling chain restructuring together as readily as individuals attending alone. The difficulty is not agreeing that medical supply chain restructuring matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The programme takes participants through chain restructuring end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the project and portfolio delivery discipline broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
