The Importance of Quality Supply Chain Management Professionals

What are the unique challenges to filling positions in supply chain? A recent article in Supply Chain Digest emphasizes the demand for supply chain professionals and the benefits afforded those who choose the profession. The article notes that the demand for supply chain talent outpaces available supply. How are organizations recruiting and managing quality supply chain management professionals?

APQC is conducting a brief survey on this topic. Preliminary results from APQC’s research show that 47% (N=126) of the participating organizations have a formal supply chain talent management program. Having a formal supply chain talent management program allows a company to recruit supply chain professionals capable of operating in today's complex global markets.  

We invite you to participate in APQC’s research project. This brief survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participants who complete the survey will receive a free summary of the survey results at the end of the data collection period. The deadline for submission is Friday, July 5.
