This course on Global Disruption in Operations equips learners with the knowledge and tools to navigate and lead through turbulent times. It explores how global events reshape supply chains, logistics, procurement, and production processes, requiring organizations to be more agile, resilient, and innovative than ever before.
The course blends theory with real-world examples, examining landmark disruptions such as COVID-19, the Suez Canal blockage, semiconductor shortages, and shifting global trade dynamics. Through these cases, learners will analyze how organizations have responded to crises—both successfully and unsuccessfully—and identify key strategies for mitigating risk, managing uncertainty, and ensuring continuity in operations. Concepts such as operational resilience, scenario planning, and business continuity management will be made practical and accessible.
Learners will also explore the rising importance of digital transformation and sustainability in the face of disruption. Topics include the role of AI and data analytics in forecasting and decision-making, the shift toward nearshoring and localization, and how climate and social governance (ESG) priorities are now central to operational strategy. These insights will help learners develop a forward-thinking mindset that aligns operational goals with long-term resilience and global responsibility.
