Supply Chain Academy Solution

Accenture Supply Chain Academy is the most advanced, most widely-used supply chain e-learning solution in existence. Used and lauded by Fortune 1,000 companies around the world, Supply Chain Academy delivers better, more comprehensive results in less time and at a lower cost than traditional classroom-learning methods. In fact, no other supply chain training program combines e-learning content with such extensive program depth, global reach, education metrics and variety of curriculum-delivery options.

The heart of Supply Chain Academy is a comprehensive distance-learning syllabus, developed by experts from more than 30 leading professional associations, industry consortia and educational institutions. All program materials are accessible from any Internet-enabled computer—whenever and wherever they’re needed to meet each user’s requirements. But in addition to user-paced online courses, Supply Chain Academy also includes:

• Weekly instructor-led virtual sessions.
• White papers, technical documents, industry/functional research and links to Internet-based thought capital.
• Webcasts and audio conferences.
• Discussion forums.

Accenture research has determined that world-class businesses often possess a distinctive “high-performance anatomy.” This characteristic lets them unleash their organizations’ capabilities more completely, turn insight into action more quickly and out-execute the competition more regularly. But in today’s business environment, a crucial ingredient is often missing: a cutting-edge, exceptionally-well-trained workforce. And without that workforce, high-performance anatomies seldom happen.

More and more corporate leaders are addressing this problem by investing in supply chain workforce productivity. However, fewer and fewer are using traditional classroom techniques to make it happen. That’s because most of those approaches are impractical to deliver globally, difficult to update and too inflexible to meet modern-day travel schedules and work commitments. Instead, leading companies are using training programs that are flexible, multi-faceted, largely virtual and deliverable on demand.

And the best embodiment of these capabilities is Supply Chain Academy, which:

• Builds the skills companies need to put the right product in the right place at the right time.
• Helps create a more proficient and consistently trained workforce.
• Ensures the global standardization of process approaches and terminology.
• Offers access to world-class content, industry thought leaders and a worldwide community for information exchange.
• Promotes job satisfaction and improves workforce retention.
• Offers lower per-student costs than traditional classroom programs.
• Encourages skills-enhancement opportunities 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
