Podcasts about executive development programs

In this enlightening episode, I sit down with Amy Somerville, CEO of Success Enterprises, to explore the intersections of personal growth, professional development, and leadership. We discuss the role of fear, the power of leading with love, and the importance of creating meaningful impact in both work and family life. Amy's vulnerability and insights make this conversation deeply inspiring and actionable for leaders striving to balance success with purpose.Guest IntroductionAmy Somerville is the Chief Executive Officer of SUCCESS Enterprises, a multi-platform media company that includes the iconic SUCCESS Magazine, SUCCESS Coaching, and SUCCESS.com.Amy is a mission-driven leader with demonstrated success in developing highly effective teams, delivering dynamic learning strategies, and building engaged communities. Prior to joining SUCCESS, she was Vice President of Professional Development and Industry Engagement at Buffini & Company and the Founder of Moment of Clarity, LLC. In her previous role as an executive with RE/MAX, LLC, she led Professional Development, Technology Engagement, Multi-Media Production, and Education.Amy is recognized as a go-to, high-energy speaker, panelist, and facilitator having shared the stage with people like Jay Leno, Wayne Brady, Brian Buffini, and many industry leaders while delivering value to audiences exceeding 7,000.She is a master of client engagement who responds to challenges with confidence, determination, and focus. She is also a passionate community-builder, gathering like-minded, successful entrepreneurs and businesspeople to share best practices for success.Amy earned a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Technical Communications at Colorado State University, did MBA coursework at the University of New Mexico's Anderson School of Business, and completed an Executive Development Program at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. She has served on several curriculum and education advisory boards and is a passionate contributor to The Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.Amy and her college sweetheart, Lance, are proud parents of two tween daughters and regularly celebrate their “executive management leadership skills.” Amy loves spending time with family and friends and finds pure joy in cooking, hosting, and playing outdoors.Amy lives her life intentionally and is driven daily by the acronym L.I.V.E.: LEAD, INSPIRE, VALUE, EMPATHIZE.Key TakeawaysThe Role of Fear in LeadershipFear often drives defensive actions, leading to a reactionary mindset. By confronting fear and choosing love instead, we can foster proactive, intentional leadership.Love as a Leadership PracticeLeading with love involves gratitude, acknowledgment, and celebration. It shifts focus from self-protection to creating connection and driving growth.Vulnerability is StrengthVulnerability isn't weakness; it's the foundation of growth. By admitting what we don't know and embracing transparency, we create trust and authenticity.Balancing Personal and Professional LifeLife and work are interconnected. Recognizing the tensions and reflecting on priorities can help us navigate seasons of growth in both realms.Legacy: What You Leave In, Not ForTrue impact lies in what you instill in others—not just what you leave behind.Key Quotes“Fear or love—you get to choose. Your choice shapes your actions and the impact you have on others.”“Stop trying to separate life and work; they exist together. Lead with purpose in both.”“Legacy isn't what you leave for people—it's what you leave in them.”“When you lead with vulnerability, you allow others to trust, connect, and grow with you.”Overcoming FearAmy shares how fear once limited her confidence, particularly with public speaking. By confronting those fears and choosing growth, she transformed her challenges into strengths.Love Over Fear in ActionAmy provides a recent example of preparing for a high-stakes board meeting. Shifting her mindset from fear-driven defensiveness to love-driven gratitude changed the tone and outcome of her presentation.The Value of ReflectionRegular self-assessment helps leaders identify areas of growth, recalibrate priorities, and align intentions with impact.Parenting Lessons in LeadershipAmy reflects on how parenting has taught her valuable lessons about patience, presence, and the importance of instilling confidence in others—lessons she carries into her leadership.Final ThoughtsLeadership isn't about having all the answers; it's about asking the right questions. By focusing on what we're leaving in others rather than what we're leaving for them, we can create a meaningful legacy. Balancing life and work isn't about achieving perfect harmony but rather navigating the tension with intention and love.Resources MentionedAmy's Website: https://www.success.com/amy Follow Amy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/somerville_amym Follow Amy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amymsomerville Follow Amy on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amy.coonssomerville Join my upcoming free live online event: https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccess Key Time Stamps00:00 Introduction and Warm Welcome01:44 Discussing the Role of Fear03:15 Choosing Love Over Fear04:26 Public Speaking Challenges05:57 Practical Applications of Love in Leadership10:23 The Importance of Vulnerability15:22 Balancing Personal and Professional Life21:46 Reflecting on Impact and Intent23:49 Closing Thoughts and ReflectionsTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations

In her most recent corporate role working as Chief of Staff leader to a President at a Fortune 40 company — a multibillion-dollar business with 5,000+ employees — Maggie built the president's Chief of Staff model from the ground up.

During the MBA program at the University of Washington's Foster Business School, she was recruited for an ultra-competitive Executive Development Program with T-Mobile. Here she led a district of stores to success in an industry she'd never worked in and a city that was new to her, presenting her business to company leaders every month. She then moved into a Retail Strategy role working on Human Strategy for new store concepts, building on her digital presentation and storytelling skills. When COVID hit and retail was shuttered, Maggie led the COVID Response initiative for the retail organization, mobilizing 26k retail employees to work in the back of closed stores through Virtual and Telesales pilot programs. From here, she moved into the Chief of Staff position for the President of the B2B organization.

The Health & Human Services system is 'in a moment' right now, led by a handful of dynamic state and local Directors, Secretaries and Commissioners that are focused on developing a contemporary culture and shepherding systems into a new era of service. Having been battle tested over the last few years, they emerge stronger and more resolved to implement a vision for transformation focused on outcomes for children and families. Kelly Garcia, Director for the Iowa Department of Health & Human Services is a terrific example, and her vision for a future system truly matters for the people of Iowa. She is one of a thousand terrific stories of servant leadership that deserves to be told. Praised for transformative leadership, Kelly Kennedy Garcia serves as the Director of the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Governor Kim Reynolds appointed Garcia to oversee the state's social services agency in November 2019. She was unanimously confirmed by the Iowa Senate on February 26, 2020. Later that year, Garcia was asked to serve as interim public health Director. As a dual director, Garcia led the agency's pandemic response, while sheparding consolidation to a single health and human services structure. Two years later, Kelly leads Iowa's largest agency, with a commitment to transparency and accountability. The key to this success is building strong teams, transforming the agency's business processes and driving home on a humancentered strategic vision. Before moving to the Hawkeye state, Garcia led improvements in organizational structure, program management, and policy development in the great state of Texas, including serving in several executive positions at the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Garcia has more than 20 years of experience in program evaluation and budget, planning and policy development. Garcia is a graduate of the University of Texas and received her MPA from The Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University. She was a member of the Governor's Executive Development Program sponsored by the LBJ School of Public Affairs and has been acknowledged as a distinguished alumnus. She is married to attorney Dan Garcia, and they have two children.

Mandla Hlatjwayo, Chairman of Letfu Sonkhe Institute for Strategic Thinking and Development returns to the show. Letfu Sonkhe Institute provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, educators and politicians to meaningfully engage and discuss the on-going challenges of Swaziland. Mandla has provided leadership in a litany of areas including in various corporations in Swaziland and South Africa. His education Includes a law degree from University of SD, an Executive Development Program from the University of Stellenbosch, Cape Town, South Africa and a Bookkeeping- Intermediate from Pitman Institute in London. Mandla and I talk about debt, international finance and economics. Swaziland is equally exploited as other African nations and it presents a micro level of Africa's debt to the western world. Says Plutarch: The greed of creditors brings neither development nor dividends to the poor, and ruins developing countries. They do not till the fields which they take from their debtors, nor do they live in their houses after evicting them.” Swaziland's debt makes up about 48% of the country's GDP. The Southern Africa Customs Union and to some extent the workers pension funds cushions the country's debt. Significant creditors of Swaziland are the IMF, African Development Bank, the Arab world as well as India etc. So much capital has been put into projects that have become white elephants/unproductive. The informal sector is neglected, yet it should connect with the formal sector - and that's how wealth can be created for the small player in the street. Agriculture is a missing link in the empowerment of the masses. The exploitative dynamics of Coca Cola in Swaziland manifests in little tax contribution despite its large share of the economy at 26%.Poor national governance standards contribute to the exploitation of workers, blood and sweat of labour is not equitable compensated in the labour intensive sectors of the economy. As far as the education system is concerned, schools in Swaziland are not structured to have young people come out of school with valuable skills - to use their hands and minds in crafts and services. Investment in human capital to add value to the economy is seriously wanting. Hence, Swazis do not produce products of higher quality than the exploitative labour intensive industries in rural agriculture, textile and the small manufacturing sector. Therefore, the education system needs serious overhauling so that Swazis can be capacitated to take charge of their lives and create opportunities for their own participation in the economy as both workers and entrepreneurs. This requires the integration of new/modern methods of training and education in order to change the fortune of the economy/country and to catch up with the rest of the world. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mpilo-nkambule/support

In any business agreement, it is vital that you have a legal document that states the system of rules or procedures that will happen within a deal. But many entrepreneurs, companies, or businesses don't really understand their contracts, and because of this, they are taken advantage of what they pay vs what services they receive.A strong contract can provide you and your business the security that you need to reduce risks and understand your rights within the agreement. By recognizing these small details you'll be able to avoid misunderstandings with your supplier or contractors and of course, save some cash!The Thriver joining us in this week's episode is Ashleigh Wilson, founder of AuditMate, the first-ever elevator and escalator auditing and managing firm.

Empathy is there because it is the right thing to do, it is our core, and it is our values. It is something that is embedded in our life and a part of who we are. - Ashleigh WilsonThe sooner we recognize that about ourselves and recognize that uniqueness is what makes us great. - Nikki RogersMy vision is you don't have to be an elevator expert.  We can connect the right people and build software around it and put the best minds together in the room. - Ashleigh WilsonOther Resources Mentioned:Dare to Lead: Brave Work.

There is no doubt that people are the most valuable asset to any organization. A company's commitment to identifying and developing talented leaders is critical to its longterm success. Kraus-Anderson partnered with the University of St. Thomas to create its Executive Development Program, or EDP, designed to provide in-depth and hands-on training in team development, empowerment and delegation, and operational decision-making; through coursework, individual and group projects, comprehensive self-assessment and individual coaching. Director of Professional Development Mike Smoczyk, Realty President Peter Diessner, Director of Operations Tom Roepke, and Executive Development Consultant Peter Krembs discuss the program and some of the core leadership competencies.

I share a framework we recently play-booked in our Executive Development Program that provides a useful set of tools that will allow you to:1) Decide how much direction to give to your team, based on each person's individual experience, readiness and capabilities2) Give you a step-by-step approach to gradually give more responsibility and ownership to your team as they earn it3) Allow you to judge if someone is coachable or not or if someone is a good fit for the role or if you should help them find a new opportunity4) Develop you into a wise leader who is respected and loved by her team and stands head and shoulders above insecure micro-managers.The next Product VP Challenge is 6 weeks away!

To discuss The Politics of Equality I am interviewing Mark Nielsen. He is the Global Chief Executive Officer of Talent International and a pioneering leader with over 25 years of experience.  Over the course of his career, Mark has held C-level roles across start-ups, turnarounds, and multinational corporations. This experience spans organizations in Australia, South Africa, China, the United Kingdom, and the USA, and across the recruitment, technology, resources, retail and medical device sectors. Throughout his career, he has held executive and non-executive director positions on listed and unlisted company boards. Mark is often referred to as a “new age” or “next-generation” leader who truly understands the multiple benefits of a fully engaged and committed team. He is particularly proud of having built an open, respectful, and unique culture at Talent.  Mark aims to ensure that each member of the team champions Talent's core tenets of progressive and innovative thinking, passion for technological advancement and digital transformation, and customer-centered service.  Mark's current role is managing Talent's $750m+ business, driving both Talent's global expansion and its cultural and digital transformations. He is also the co-founder and board member of Talent's foundation Talent RISE, which addresses youth unemployment through the mentoring and placement of young people into technology-related roles. In 2018, Mark was named Australian CEO of the Year (CEO Magazine), Professional Services Executive of the Year (CEO Magazine), and Recruitment Leader of the Year – Australia (SEEK SARA Awards). In 2020, he was on the Deliotte 50 Outstanding LGBTI+ leaders list. Mark holds a Bachelor of Commerce and a Post Graduate Diploma in Accounting from the University of Cape Town is a graduate of The Wharton School's Executive Development Program and is a member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand. Mark is highly regarded for his ability to lead and build high-performance organizations with compassion at their core. He is outcome-focused, a long-term thinker and therefore passionate about building strong organizational cultures. Questions we cover with Mark: Can you share your career ambitions – so what you thought you'd do for a living when you were a kid growing up? And did that happen? Your early career story please! How do you define equality and moreover inequality? Is the notion we are all born equal even realistic let alone what we can do to even out the equality divide that permeates everything such as our income status, education, where we live, and of course gender? Is equality above leveling the playfield or compensating when the situation is clearly not equal or fair? E.g. I think of things like superannuation being paid for women who take career breaks for family reasons. Some employers will top it up while they are on maternity leave. You grew up in South Africa which, at the time, was a very conservative country and you say you really struggled to express his identity as a gay man. Still to this day, there are a lot of people who struggle with this and don't have the courage to be themselves. I know you want to change that. As a white male living a fairly comfortable life as far as we know, do you think you have an obligation – maybe more than most – to address equality more than others who may be perceived as less privileged? Why and how do you do that in your work/daily life? The rise of “cancel culture” and the idea of canceling someone coincides with a familiar pattern: A celebrity or other public figure does or says something offensive. A public backlash, often fuelled by politically progressive social media, ensues. Then come the calls to cancel the person — that is, to effectively end their career or revoke their cultural cachet, whether through boycotts of their work or disciplinary action from an employer. Is this recent focus on cancel culture a “mob mentality” on steroids, or a long-overdue way of speaking truth to old forms of power? How can it help balance the power the higher profile people have over us long term or not? What role does business and government play in improving equality in modern society? Share an example or two of how this can be done better or has been done overseas even. Who have been your greatest mentors (1 or 2) and what did they teach you? If you could choose a favorite book, song or film what would it be and why? (Can be serious or quirky!). Take away: What your final takeaway message for us on addressing The Politics of Equality?

Today I interview Yvonne Markgraf Stoehr, a creative Director of Product with deep experience in film making and film production.  She demonstrates how you can extract the strengths of your creative and “nonstandard” background to make you a strong and uniquely skilled executive in technology.  Yvonne's design sense includes understanding how to connect the dots and being genuinely curious about different people and their talents.  This skill led her to identify a little-known band called Nirvana in the early 1990s for one of her first film projects and also led her to an Emmy-award winning project.  Later Yvonne used the same creative and personal skills to navigate complex products and large teams in different tech companies like Microsoft.  In the interview we explore the early vulnerable side of Kurt Cobain that Yvonne saw before Nirvana got famous and we talk about the importance of fueling one's creativity.  Yvonne stays close to her roots through rock and roll portrait photography and playing the drums in her family band.  Unsurprisingly, Yvonne's Board of Directors small group of four female tech executives in our Executive Development Program bears the name “Nirvana”. Connect with Yvonne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonnelevaymarkgraf/Check out the first film recorded interview of Nirvana which Yvonne produced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__8UDylv7WU

“If we treat our people right, if we treat people with respect, and expect them to treat each other the way they should be treated, then things will flow from that, financial results will follow, and it will be a place where people will want to work.” - Kevin Tubbs Kevin Tubbs of Oshkosh Corp. talks to LRN's Ben DiPietro about the company's people-first culture, what that means for the ethics and compliance program, and how fostering a speak-up culture helped to save one employee's life. Prior to his current role, Tubbs held senior environmental management and sustainability positions at Ingersoll Rand Co., Trane Co., and American Standard. He began his career at Exxon Corp. Tubbs holds a Bachelor’s of Science degree in chemical engineering from Clarkson University, and Master’s degrees in engineering management and occupational safety and health from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He holds a certificate from the Wharton School’s Executive Development Program. For three years Kevin was the mayor of Chatham Township, N.J. during which time Chatham was named the “Best Place to Live in New Jersey,” and was one of the first communities to receive “Sustainable Jersey” certification from the Sustainable Jersey organization. What You’ll Learn on This Episode: [0:50] What does Oshkosh Corp. do? [1:55] What sparked Kevin’s interest in having a career in ethics and compliance, and how does he describe the path that he took that led him to Oshkosh? [3:49] How has being mayor of a town in New Jersey impacted Kevin’s view on ethics and compliance? What has he learned from that experience and how does that shape what he does now? [4:58] Kevin recently spoke about Oshkosh’s “people-first” culture at LRN’s “25 and Beyond” event. What does that term mean and how does Kevin meld it into what happens to each employee every day at work? [6:28] How is the “people-first” culture actually embedded and how does Kevin discuss it with employees? What are some of the ways he transmits those messages? [8:21] How does that emphasis get driven down into middle managers, supervisors, and then into the employees? What role or importance do the middle managers play in all of that? [10:22] As the workplace is being transformed by diversity inclusion initiatives and a blending in of machines and technologies to work alongside people, how can ethics and compliance teams work to minimize disruptions to the employees involved while maintaining compliance and building strong cultures? What role can the board and the executive leadership play in setting that standard? [12:29] Was there a time that Kevin and his team faced a hardship related to ethics and compliance? How did Kevin deal with that situation, what did he learn from it, and how has that lesson shaped some of what he does today in his current role?

SCM Sparks brought to you by IISCMOne can improve a supply chain only by knowing the start point and the destination. I mean the current state and the future state of the supply chain. Process mapping is a great technique to capture the current state and define the future state of a supply chain. Microsoft Visio is a most prominent tool which can elegantly present the processes of a supply chain to its minutest details. I would say all supply chain professionals should have a decent skill in process mapping and knowledge of Microsoft Visio.

SCM Sparks brought to you by IISCMFor a sound product or service delivery, an organization need to define, measure, analyze, improve and control its inputs, processes and outputs. Supplier certification is a tool to achieve this goal on the input side of an organization. Supplier certification enables an organization to align its suppliers with its quality, cost, flexibility and delivery requirements. A supplier certification may have 20 parameters. Some of these parameters fall under acceptance criteria and others under evaluation criteria. Acceptance criteria is like pass or fail and evaluation criteria is like ranking a supplier. Supplier certification is not a static one, but a dynamic one that constantly moves to a higher level to reflect continuous improvement. Do you have a supplier certification program in your organization and what are all the acceptance and evaluation criteria?

SWOT analysis stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Both strengths and weaknesses are about the capabilities of my supply chain. Strength is something that is helping my supply chain to succeed and I should preserve and improve it further. Weaknesses are those capabilities that are acting as bottlenecks. For an e-commerce company, sourcing may be their strength and last mile connectivity could be its weakness. On the other hand, opportunities are things that need to be capitalised and threats are those that may jeopardise the company's operations. The growing internet penetration in Indian economy is an opportunity for this e-commerce company, while the growing government regulation on e-commerce businesses could be a threat. Are you ready to do SWOT for your supply chain?For more details related to Supply Chain Consulting, Certifications (CSCP, CPIM and CLTD) and Executive Development Programs, please visit www.IISCM.org.

Risk creates an uncertainty in achieving the objectives of supply chain. Risk may or may not happen and is a combination of events and consequences. The falling of a 2 kg bolt from a truss is an event and it hits an equipment on the ground is a consequence. So, the same event may give rise to different consequences and severity of the risk may change from no-effect or near miss to fatal accidents. ISO:31000:2018 provides terminologies, principles and framework for risk management in organisations. Though ISO:31000:2018 is general in nature, it can be well adopted to manage risk in your supply chain.Do you think your supply chain as a whole or parts of it need risk management? https://www.iso.org/files/live/sites/isoorg/files/store/en/PUB100426.pdfFor more details related to Supply Chain Consulting, Certifications (CSCP, CPIM and CLTD) and Executive Development Programs, please visit www.IISCM.org.

Traditionally the warehouses were serving as a place to receive the goods, store them for long periods and issue them against the orders from the downstream. Do you think the warehouses continue to serve only these purposes? Don’t you think they have evolved and serving demands of today’s new age businesses and customers? So what are all the value-added functions of modern warehouses? Do you think the delivery hubs of e-commerce companies have storage function?For more details related to Supply Chain Consulting, Certifications (CSCP, CPIM and CLTD) and Executive Development Programs, please visit www.IISCM.org.

The three perspectives of defining inventory. They are types of inventory, functions of inventory and nature of inventory. Raw material, work in process, finished goods inventory, distribution inventory and maintenance, repair and operating supplies (MRO) are the types of inventory. Safety stock, cycle stock, decoupling inventory, transportation inventory, hedge inventory, anticipation inventory, buffer inventory are the functions of inventory. The nature of inventory could be independent or dependent. Are you able to discern the differences between types, functions and nature of inventory?

Hi this is Venkadesh Narayanan from IISCM. This podcast is on why a supply chain professional need to pursue supply chain certification?At the beginning of 1990’s when I started working for an engineering firm, supply chain tasks were more or less a common sense. Anyone with a degree in commerce, science and engineering can handle the tasks with little bit of on-the-job training. Those days MBAs were rarest of rare and we never had any programs to educate us in supply chain concepts. I mean there were not many college programs related to supply chain body of knowledge. Some of my best colleagues came from industrial engineering background.

Hi this is Venkadesh Narayanan from IISCM. This topic is on Bonded Warehouses. Bonded warehouses are established under the Customs Act, 1962. You can refer sections 57 to 73 under Chapter IX of Customs Act 1962 to learn the various provisions of bonded warehouse in India. Similar to this act almost all countries have legal provisions governed by their respective acts to establish the bonded warehouse. So what is a bonded warehouse? The warehouse promoter or the importer executes a bond with the Customs Department to establish the bonded warehouse, hence that name. Bonded warehouses are normally used by businesses who are in import and export business.To read the full transcript of this podcast, please click here. *****For more details related to Supply Chain Consulting, Certifications (CSCP, CPIM and CLTD) and Executive Development Programs, please visit www.IISCM.org.

Echelons and nodes are very helpful concepts to visualize an end-to-end supply chain. Let us take an automotive supply chain. It contains four levels of suppliers Tier-4, Tier-3, Tier-2 and Tier-1. The Tier-4 supplier supplies to Tier-3 and Tier-3 supplies to Tier-2 and so on until Tier-1. The Tier-1 supplier supplies to the OEM that is the car manufacturing plant. Once the cars are manufactured they are sent to Regional Distributors from where it is sent to the Dealers who manages the showrooms.

Backflush accounting is a manufacturing accounting system where the costing of a product and the inventory consumed are calculated at the point of completion of the manufacturing process. Let us take a scenario at an automobile kitting plant. This kitting plant prepares the kit for the mirrors. At the assembly line each car requires one kit that is composed of the necessary components for the left, right and rear view mirrors. So each kit should contain 3 mirrors, 6 bolts, 6 washers, 6 spring washers and a zip lock pouch, this is also known as the bill of materials of the kit or BOM. The workers at the kitting plant draw these components from the stores and pack them in the zip lock pouch and make the kit. The inventory is deducted based on the BOM once the kit is completed. In a traditional setup, the inventory is deducted when the components are issued, but here the inventory is deducted at the point of completion based on the BOM. This reduces the quantum of transactions and the effort required in accounting.

SKU (pronounced as skew) is the abbreviation of the term Stock Keeping Unit. SKU helps us to uniquely identify a product. Each organisation have their own SKU nomenclature policy, which refers to the methodology of numbering SKUs, governance and control. A given SKU number provides the same understanding to all the stakeholders not only inside your organisation, but also to your suppliers, customers and other stakeholders. When a product has a different form or fit or function from another product it will gain a different SKU number. Here one need to follow the concept of materiality, meaning whether the differences are significant or not. A good SKU Nomenclature Policy is the foundation of an effective and efficient inventory management.To read the full transcript of this podcast, please click here. *****For more details related to Supply Chain Consulting, Certifications (CSCP, CPIM and CLTD) and Executive Development Programs, please visit www.IISCM.org.

For any manufacturing organisation, we can divide the supply chain into two parts. One is the upstream supply chain and the other is downstream supply chain. In this podcast, I am going to discuss the need for multiple supply chains for the downstream. The downstream supply chain originates at the factory and ends with the delivery of the product to the end consumer. We are concerned only with the forward product flow, so I am not considering the reverse product flow or the reverse logistics part. This sets the scope for our discussion related to multiple supply chains.To read the full transcript of this podcast, please click here. *****For more details related to Supply Chain Consulting, Certifications (CSCP, CPIM and CLTD) and Executive Development Programs, please visit www.IISCM.org.

In this podcast, we will explore the Cycle Counting Best Practices. Cycle counting is the better alternative to periodic inventory counting. In cycle counting few SKUs are counted everyday by the Cycle Counters, who are trained in cycle counting. The accuracy of the logical inventory is much better compared to periodic inventory auditing as the inventory is counted continuously and more frequently based on the ABC Classification Criteria. Here I would like to recommend few best practices in cycle counting.To read the full transcript of this podcast, please click here. *****For more details related to Supply Chain Consulting, Certifications (CSCP, CPIM and CLTD) and Executive Development Programs, please visit www.IISCM.org.

In this podcast, I would like to share my experiences on Periodic Inventory Auditing. Not very long ago, in the early 90’s, I was working for a large engineering firm in Chennai. I played multiple hats such as Layout Designer, Coordination with PPC and Inventory Management. Once in a year, that is during the first week of April the whole factory comes to a halt for couple of days. It is not that we didn’t had orders, but it was for inventory counting.

Welcome to IISCM’s podcast on Enterprise Inventory Policy. I am your host Venkadesh Narayanan. Enterprise Inventory Policy (EIP) defines both the aggregate-level and the item-level inventory management. Each and every organisation that deals with inventory must have EIP and it shall be reviewed on an annual basis. EIP is a policy document that shall be agreed upon mainly between the CFO and COO as well as by leaders of New Product Development, Marketing, Sales, Procurement etc. This provides a framework within which all the above leaders are expected to operate and ensure best customer service with a focus on optimum inventory level.

If you work for a company that values growth and development so highly that 6,000 hard working employees volunteer their time to make it happen, you’re certainly in a great spot where community and fun flourish. Google’s Googlers-to-Googlers (g2g) program selects an internal volunteer teaching network – dedicated to help peers learn and develop, outside of their core job responsibilities. Volunteers (g2gers) coach and mentor, design learning materials like e-courses, and help with tough times and difficult conversations. They provide fun stuff, too, like salsa dancing and even fire breathing! Google’s Head of Executive Development Programs, Sarah Devereaux, says the g2g program is 96 percent focused on work-related topics, and the rest is spent on fun, which increases engagement when everyone has something different to share. Continuous learning is a big part of Google’s culture, and Devereaux says there’s a secret to successful internal training.
