As part of Logistics Skills Week 2026 and European Supply Chain Day 2026, we are delighted to welcome Prof. Edward Sweeney, Professor of Logistics and Supply Chain Management at Edinburgh Business School. In this session, Prof. Sweeney explores contemporary logistics and supply chain management (LSCM) through a strategic lens. While traditional approaches have often viewed LSCM primarily as a collection of tools and techniques for reducing operational costs and improving customer service, today’s complex environment demands a far broader perspective. His presentation will focus on how modern supply chains can be leveraged as powerful sources of competitive advantage, rather than simply operational functions. Prof. Sweeney discusses the proactive development of supply chain capability as a means of addressing the major “mega‑challenges” facing organisations in the 21st century, including sustainability pressures, global volatility, and rapid technological change. Through strategic insights and forward‑looking analysis, this session will offer valuable guidance for professionals seeking to build resilient, high‑performing, and future‑ready supply chains.
