Why a Silicon Valley program matters now
Volatile markets, a growing shortage of skilled workers and changing customer demands put supply chain leaders under pressure to act fast and get it right. This program pairs German precision with Silicon Valley's speed.
- Speed up AI adoption across your supply chain: See which AI solutions are already working in practice, and how to bring them into a mid-sized company without overwhelming your organization.
- Lower your innovation risk: Working directly with experienced mentors and innovation experts, you'll spot bad investments before you make them.
- Bring home concrete results: You'll work on your own Innovation Challenge and return with tangible outcomes: pilot projects, ideas for partnerships and a digitalization roadmap for your supply chain.
- Combine precision with speed: Learn how Silicon Valley organizations make decisions, fund projects and how quickly they shut them down. Then decide which of these practices fit your company.
What you'll take away
- Best practices: putting real solutions to work
How do you find new operating models and put them into practice in your own supply chain? - Emerging technologies: spotting and using trends early
Which technologies will transform logistics and supply chains in the coming years? And how do you get your company ready for them? - Innovation methods: inspiration for developing ideas
Which Silicon Valley method suits which business situation? What does it take to roll out innovation projects in a risk-averse work culture? - Mindset & change management: transformation that lasts
Participants become pioneers of resilience and value creation in their organizations. Technology can be copied; mindset can't.
Three phases. One outcome.
The program doesn't start at the airport, and it doesn't end with your flight home.
- Get Ready (Germany, virtual): A virtual kickoff workshop and individual kickoff calls. Together we define your goals and the Innovation Challenge you'll work on during the trip.
- Deep Dive Silicon Valley (California, 4.5 days): Site visits, workshops, mentoring and networking. Learn from best practices and tech trends, connect with key players in the ecosystem, and develop solutions to your own challenges.
- Take-off (Germany): Individual implementation in your own company, a 90-day accountability check-in, and a virtual alumni meetup about three months after the trip to present first results.
