Welcome to ASCI Connect – a revitalised professional community designed by and for supply chain practitioners.
We’ve rebuilt this space in response to a clear message from professionals like you: the need for a focused forum for substantive, peer-driven discussions grounded in real-world practice, not just general commentary.
You're receiving this because you're part of the ASCI network. While you can unsubscribe at any time, we invite you to explore what makes this community distinctive before you decide.
So, what is ASCI Connect?
Think of it as your dedicated space for meaningful exchange and growth. It’s structured in two layers to maximise value:
1. The Open Community (Free for all professionals):
o Dive into discussions on pressing trends and challenges.
o Share your insights and learn from peers’ collective experience.
o Gain practical perspectives you can apply directly to your work.
o Enjoy exclusive discounts at the ASCI Bookshop (partnered with Kogan Page).
2. ASCI Member-Exclusive Access:
o Unlock an extended Resource Library with tools, templates, and guides.
o Connect with peers directly via the Community Member Directory.
o Get listed in the ASCI Expert Directory to raise your professional profile.
This dual approach ensures high-quality, relevant engagement for everyone, with enhanced benefits for ASCI Members.
Why This Community Stands Out
ASCI Connect is not just another forum. It’s intentionally crafted to be:
· Unique in Scope: A dedicated global space of this depth for supply chain professionals is rare.
· Relevance-First: Structured to provide open dialogue for all, enriched by deep resources for members.
· Practitioner-Led: Conversations are driven by your peers—the experts in the field.
· Action-Oriented: Focused on delivering tangible, actionable insights from real practice.
Your Participation Drives Value
This is where you can:
· Exchange insights on emerging issues with seasoned professionals.
· Sense-check ideas and decisions with a trusted peer network.
· Learn from concrete examples and contribute to shaping best practices.
· Find your next solution, connection, or inspiration.
The more you engage by posting, commenting, or reading, the more valuable it is for everyone.
