Educators' Day

The theme for Nofoma 2024 is “Logistics and Supply Chain Management in a risky and uncertain world”.

During the educator’s day, we will discuss how we can use lifelong learning (LLL) in this context. How should we design university lifelong learning (ULL) courses to better prepare managers and specialists for an environment that is increasingly characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity? We will discuss LLL/ULL from different perspectives, such as individuals versus groups, and top-down versus bottom-up initiatives. We will discuss how groups and individuals in management teams can use discussion games and scenario techniques, including what-if-scenarios analysis (WISA), before, during and after disruptions.

Nofoma Educators’ day will include a few, short lectures, or presentations, as appetizers. However, for the most part, the format will rely on active participation. Through discussions in smaller groups and plenaries, using various creativity techniques, we will explore which role universities could/should play to teach individuals and groups in a Lifelong learning context.

As usual, the Educators’ day will be a meeting place for lecturers in logistics and SCM. It will be organized as on 12 June 2024, preliminary 10:30 – 17:00. The event starts with registration and coffee and include a joint lunch. A more detailed outline of the event will follow as Nofoma 2024 approaches. However, the format will be fluid.
