Develop the Skills to Lead Supply Chain Transformation

Supply chain transformation requires more than implementing new technology. It requires understanding the organization as a system, identifying opportunities for change, selecting the right frameworks and solutions, managing risk and successfully leading people through transformation.

The APICS Certified in Transformation for Supply Chain (CTSC) certification develops the strategic capabilities required to prepare for, execute and sustain supply chain transformation. The certification incorporates globally recognized industry standards, including the ASCM SCOR Digital Standard, along with systems thinking, supply chain architecting, risk and resilience, change management and digital transformation.
