Bayes Business School has launched a new executive education programme with Ti Insight, the leading market research solutions provider, to help senior industry practitioners navigate supply chain risk amid global turbulence.

Organisations are facing unprecedented challenges. Regional conflict and newly imposed trade tariffs have caused shocks to global supply chain networks, increasing costs and disrupting operations.

The Supply Chain Risk in a Geopolitical Environment open programme has been designed for senior professionals responsible for leading supply chain operations and risk strategies. The three-day course will give participants the skills and confidence to build resilient supply chains and navigate political volatility.

The course will be led by Dr Florian Lücker, Reader in Supply Chain Management at Bayes and Professor John Manners-Bell, CEO of Ti Insight and Founder of the Foundation for Future Supply Chain.

Dr Lücker said:

“We are excited to deliver this timely executive programme with Ti Insight.

“Recent geopolitical factors, including wars and tariff hikes, have sent shockwaves through global businesses and their supply chain networks. These uncertainties demonstrate the value of creating resilient systems, capable of withstanding sudden price movements and resource constraints.

“The Supply Chain Risk programme will develop participants’ strategic planning through immersive case studies and the latest research insights. Equipping leaders with these tools will allow organisations to thrive with agility in times of crisis and develop stronger partnerships.

“We look forward to welcoming the cohort to Bayes in March.”

Professor Manners-Bell said:

“We are very excited to work with a world-renowned business school to develop and deliver executive education programmes, which will enable supply chain executives to formulate strategic responses in a volatile and uncertain world.”

The new course is the latest in Bayes Business School’s portfolio of Executive Education programmes, available as open short courses or custom programmes to cater for specific organisational needs.

Courses are designed for mid- to senior-level professionals seeking to enhance their skills and experience.

Mark Carberry, Director of Executive Education at Bayes Business School, said:

“In a time of growing uncertainty, businesses are demanding dynamic leadership as they adapt to a changing world.

“At Bayes, we are responding to this challenge by continuously evolving our teaching and executive offering. Supply chain resilience is critical for protecting international businesses in the face of global disruption, and this latest programme, delivered with Ti Insights, will strengthen knowledge of strategic responses.

“Our Executive Education programmes equip participants with practical skills to enable personal development and lasting organisational success. Courses are designed and delivered by world-class faculty, industry practitioners and global leadership development experts.

“Students are also able to enhance their networks with like-minded professionals and leaders.”

The Supply Chain Risk in a Geopolitical Environment programme will take place in-person at Bayes Business School between Tuesday 3 March and Thursday 5 March 2026.
