Executive Coaching for Non-Supply Chain Leaders

Ideal for

Executives whose decisions depend on logistics outcomes but who’ve never been formally trained in it.

Finance, operations, or commercial leaders tired of being “sold to” by vendors they can’t confidently challenge.

Ideal for leadership teams that want cross-functional alignment without adding another meeting or buzzword.

Lead logistics decisions with confidence, not guesswork.

Operations and supply chain decisions shape margin, service levels, and growth capacity — yet most executive teams make those calls without formal logistics training.
Miscommunication between finance, operations, and procurement often leads to well-intentioned but costly choices: warehouse expansions that miss ROI, carrier changes that increase landed cost, or technology investments that fail to deliver visibility.

Pendel’s Executive Coaching for Non-Supply Chain Leaders bridges that gap.
We coach C-suite and department heads to understand how logistics decisions impact financial performance, risk exposure, and scalability.
The goal is not to turn executives into supply-chain managers, but to give them the strategic fluency to challenge assumptions, ask the right questions, and make decisions grounded in data.

This program is built for leaders responsible for outcomes that depend on logistics — not logistics itself.

Common outcomes:

• Stronger financial and operational alignment between departments
• Faster consensus on capital and technology decisions
• Clear ownership and accountability within cross-functional projects
• Fewer “hidden cost” surprises during expansion or change initiatives
• Greater confidence leading operational conversations with partners or investors

Methodology

1. Diagnostic Interview Series
We start with one-on-one conversations with key executives to map decision pain points, confidence gaps, and past misalignments.

2. Strategic Framework Design
Using Pendel’s “Operational Fluency Model,” we translate logistics concepts into business-language frameworks that fit your leadership style and KPIs.

3. Applied Coaching Sessions
We facilitate short, high-impact sessions focused on live business scenarios — upcoming negotiations, technology rollouts, or cost reviews — to turn insight into action.

4. Cross-Functional Alignment Workshops
We coach leadership teams together to improve collaboration and decision flow between finance, operations, and sales.

5. Sustainability & Accountability
We build ongoing cadence and tracking so lessons become habits, ensuring the organization’s decision quality continues to improve long after engagement ends.
