Enabling AI-driven Supply Chain Leadership: Capability-building Programme for Flex

As supply chains become increasingly intelligent and data-driven, the ability to translate AI investments into strategic advantage has become a leadership imperative. In this context, Flex partnered with Indian Institute of Management Bangalore to deliver a focused, capability-building intervention for its senior leadership team.

Conducted over three days from 10th to 12th March 2026, at Flex’s Chennai office, the programme – led by Dr. Vijay Venkataraman of the Strategy area of IIMB – was designed to help leaders move beyond conceptual understanding of AI toward actionable strategy. With a sharp emphasis on supply chain use cases, participants explored how AI can enhance decision-making, improve operational agility and unlock new efficiencies across the value chain.

The programme’s strength lay in its contextual relevance and business-first approach, enabling leaders to align emerging technologies with organizational priorities.

As noted by Manish Sharma, Sr. Director (IT), Flex, “The programme was very well received and added significant value to our leadership team.”

By equipping leaders with the clarity and confidence to operationalize AI, the initiative reinforces Flex’s commitment to future-ready, technology-led leadership.
