TEACHING

EXECUTIVE EDUCATION

The perspective of my courses is both business and technical. The point is to identify how the supply chain can deliver a “fair value” to the business in order to support its objectives and even more in some innovative cases contribute to rethink the value chains and to redesign the relative business models.

This is why in terms of target population, I mostly teach supply chain professionals as well as general business managers or functional ones from each key field.

I am mostly involved in leadership and general management programs as Faculty at HEC Paris. I tech especially in the TRIUM program, joint program between HEC, LSE and NYU, which enables me to interact with Excom members from various sectors and mostly from financial institutions (banks, insurance, investment funds, IIS,…). One my research axis is the application of the concepts and practices of supply chain management to the service industries.

Objectives of the course

  • Integrate Supply Chain Management (SCM) as a leverage of business value creation at the GM / Excom level
  • Get acquainted with the building blocks of a supply Chain model
  • Be able to use the Supply Chain Management lens to challenge your company Value Model,
  • Be inspired by Supply Chain concepts and practices to any type of organization

Agenda of the course

  1. Supply chain management and business: the value proposition challenged by the supply chain lens
  2. Supply chain: first definitions and scope
  3. Value architecture
  4. Value network model and Supply Chain Management
  5. Supplys chain for GMs
  6. Organizational dimension (appendix)
  7. Final assignment
I am involved in teaching supply chain management in corporate trainings for Saint-Gobain in Europe, North America and Asia and as well for Essilor, Airbus Group, Geodis, Adisseo, MBDA, Orange Business Services and BPI. The following chart shows an example of the learning program I have designed and that I partially teach for a community of supply chain professionals:
In terms of pedagogical solutions, I have developed my own teaching package including the case studies, which are short, focused and based on my advisory missions. If possible I invite the manager from the company related to the case study in order to co-animate the debriefing, what provides a maximum level of impact and pragmatism. I systematically mobilize guest speakers in order to open practices to other industries and to stimulate benchmarks.

I belong to the Crossknowledge faculty body, what gets me access to the last modern and innovative pedagogical solutions (www.crossknowledge.com).
I regularly use serious games in my courses and especially a digital version of the famous Beergame (beergameapp.com).
