BELIEFS
The pace of transformation is directly linked to the willingness and decisions of individuals as well as organizations to become and remain competitive in value delivering networks of the future
02: Competence through Guidance
Continuous competence development works best, when being embedded into a semi-structured education and advisory guided approach
Developing competences to participate in the digital transformation of supply chains is not a question of age or academic level, it is built upon self-motivation to discover new possibilities and the capability of imagination
Capabilities need to be developed on both sides: individual skills, as well as digital resources, both effectively aligned and combined to achieve competitive digitalization competences
The excellence of today is going be the knowledge of tomorrow
Anytime, anywhere access to almost the entire human knowledge and the rapid and unstoppable development of digitalization and artificial intelligence rise the all over demand of capable individuals taking care for everything A.I. is not capable of, yet
07: Rise of Competence-Focused Education
Today’s knowledge-transfer-focused education systems are under intense pressure to educate individuals on competences, required for an era of digital transformation

The knowledge-driven Supply Chain Management of the last two decades is in a rapid transition phase towards competence-driven mastering of global value networks
