policies, plans and SOPs for an effective and sustainable SCM workforce
ii. Leaders and change agents. Engaging powerful stakeholders
and SCM leaders to put HR for SCM on the agenda and enact local change
iii. Workforce development. Developing the SCM workforce through
contextualised pre-service education and continued professional development
iv. Increasing performance. Increasing the performance and
retention of SCM personnel within an organisational context.
v. Professionalization. Improving education approaches for
health logistics and supply chain personnel, and growing professional
communities.
