Program Overview: What is Supply Chain Control Towers and Decision Intelligence?
Supply Chain Control Towers & Decision Intelligence is a 24-hour instructor-led program for supply chain planners, logistics leaders, and digital transformation teams building real-time visibility. It covers control tower concepts and architecture, data integration and visibility layers, and exception management with alerting design. Participants also work through decision intelligence frameworks and incident command orchestration.
The program runs as six sessions that pair control-tower briefings with intensive simulation labs. Participants design visibility architectures, configure exception alerts, and run decision-intelligence playbooks against live scenario feeds, with an instructor escalating the scenarios as teams cope. Incident-command exercises force rapid, coordinated responses with clear ownership. The final session is the capstone: a live control tower simulation where each team runs its playbook against a full disruption scenario.
Without a control tower, disruptions surface as late surprises: a delayed shipment discovered at the customer, an inventory gap found during stockout. The program teaches teams to architect visibility, manage by exception instead of by firefighting, and make decisions from intelligence rather than noise. They return with response built in: exceptions caught early, playbooks ready, command clear.
The capstone is a live control tower simulation: teams monitor a realistic multi-node network, triage exception alerts, execute their decision playbooks, and run incident command through a full disruption scenario. The artifact they keep is a tested playbook set and a control tower blueprint, both of which have survived contact with a crisis before they ever meet a real one.
Your team starts with control tower concepts and architecture, then works through data integration and visibility layers in guided labs. Later modules cover exception management, decision intelligence, and incident command. The program closes with a capstone live control tower simulation tailored to your network.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
A control tower comes after supply chain basics and S&OP because it monitors the plans S&OP produces. AI planning and digital twins then add forecasting and scenario testing to the control tower's view.
