Building supply chain and logistics capability

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Evolve faster

Technology is transforming the supply chain and logistics industry: big data and the emerging physical internet promise unheard of efficiency and flexibility; customers are expecting faster and more personalised service; and a constant stream of innovative disruptors are transforming the market. The race is on to keep up with these changes. Supply chain and logistics businesses must build new analytical and technological capabilities fast. Fixing digital learning and linking it to talent and performance data is essential. We can help you:

Develop and deploy a streamlined, productised skills framework focused on exactly the capabilities you need to take command of new technologies
Accurately and scalably tag existing and new content against this framework to power useable search and impactful learning recommendations
Run campaigns that galvanise your business to rise to the challenge of customer centricity in a digital era
Leverage learning and talent data analysis to increase the speed of product development and employee training

SKILLS FRAMEWORKS

Solve the problem of defining relevant skills

Building skill frameworks has fallen behind within large supply chain and logistics companies. Time and money are wasted on complex, static, multi-layered frameworks. Often based on no more than surveys and committee judgments, these legacy frameworks are rarely put into practice. External consultancies are brought in to help, but their frameworks are often too generic and unwieldy to keep up with the capabilities that matter in a changing market.

We use data to deliver simple (we say ‘productised’) skills frameworks of less than fifty top-priority skills that will join people to content (via a skills signature) and meld current and future needs. Armed with a common language for mission-critical skills, you can make sense of learning and talent data and build easily searchable, evolving knowledge bases.

AUTOMATED CURATION

Fix search and automate curation

We know how hard it is to maintain and update vast libraries of internal training content to develop new products, streamline processes, and optimise the commercial workforce. Hundreds of thousands of internal resources sit alongside large external libraries like GetAbstract, Coursera and LinkedIn Learning. Plus there's all of the content out there on the web in the public domain. The vast availability of content makes tagging it by humans impossible.

Filtered has developed automated tagging tools and technology to analyse all of that content and curate that which is most relevant for your business, i.e. to your productised skills framework. Using the framework as a lens to examine all content enables efficiency savings as we can advise on saving money by cutting underperforming libraries and surfacing the really outstanding assets. Then delivering them to the right people at the right time. And the best part is, we can get it up and running in a matter of weeks, not months, to help to react with agility to upskill and reskill your teams.

5 Ways to improve your supply chain and logistics learning strategy

Level up with the technology you need

The supply chain and logistics industry is racing to overhaul itself. As a learning professional, it's up to you to help your organisation transform its people to face its challenges. The pressure's on.

We know you've got this. But it's always good to have help. So we interviewed some of your industry colleagues to inform this in-depth guide, which covers how to:

Address your organisation's key challenges from a learning perspective
Seize the moment to bring your L&D department closer to the business
Drive performance through learning innovation and automation

CHANGE CAMPAIGNS

Deliver change and engagement at scale

Going digital means changing the way you communicate. You can’t just expect your busy employees to come to your learning system. You’ll need to persuade them with high-quality, intelligent and intentional comms.

Microsoft Teams is being deployed across the supply chain and logistics sector. Getting people to engage - and doing something good with their engagement - is critical. We work with supply chain and logistics organisations to build campaigns that:

Bridge the gap between legacy LMS and intranet platforms and users by pushing notifications into email and MS Teams
Capture new data on learning and skill development to plug shifting gaps in your organisational knowledge
Re-engage your people in your most important change programmes
