Vendors sell software supply chain security as a product; it behaves in practice as a change programme. Boards are asking for measurable returns from chain security, not demonstrations. Moving the digital and data-driven work capability from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what software supply chain security has actually achieved. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this aspect of digital and data-driven work, not for observers of it. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of chain security is examined, not just described. Mature organisations treat software supply chain security as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Participants leave with a method for chain security, not a set of opinions about it. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the practice within digital and data-driven work broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
