Supply Chain Video Contest

CSCMP Switzerland invites applications for the global CSCMP Leaf Logistics Supply Chain video contest for students (and Supply Chain young professionals <= 32 Years) to demonstrate their ability to think futuristically and deliver potential solutions to the supply chain management industry. Contestants should create a video answering one of these 3 questions:

1) Sustainability

Corporations are expanding their sustainability initiatives as public pressure and regulation increases. What are some of the opportunities where supply chain professionals can make an impact by introducing sustainability initiatives? How do you think our industry can best support business growth and carbon reduction?

2) Building Stable Supply Chains

The past decade has seen an unstable supply chain on many fronts, including disrupted manufacturing, clogged ports, driver shortages, and now an uncertain macroeconomic environment. With this in mind, what steps can firms take to build resiliency into their supply chains so that they can better navigate tomorrow’s market conditions?

3) Technology

What new technology do you see as a potential opportunity for the industry? Identify the opportunity and any possible challenges to technology adoption.
