Future-Forward Logistics: Prologis Transformation Challenge
1. Description of the Challenge
The world of supply chain is changing fast. The urge to work more efficient is constant, but other factors are added to the mix. Things like carbon footprint reduction, last mile delivery challenges, lack of storage space, de-globalisation just to mention a few.
We expect that within 5 to 10 years the logistics and supply chain landscape has changed significantly, we expect this will have an effect on the use of warehouse facilities as well. Our question is therefore the following:
How do we believe the logistics landscape will change within now and 10 years, and how should the landlord change their properties and business model to maintain to be a key player in the ecosystem. We would like to encourage out of the box thinking, will it only be drones deliveries and AGV deliveries, or will change be more significant than that. Will properties become obsolete? Anything is possible:
- You will get a unique behind the scenes opportunity to experience how Prologis is maintaining its leading position in the industry, but we’ll also take you to some of the Prologis properties to real life experience logistics
- Transport and Logistics are core in our economy and will remain to be core in the future. In the assignment you will shape out a number of scenarios on how you this will take shape in the future. What consequences do those scenarios have for a company like Prologis and how should Prologis anticipate on it.
- You will have the freedom to develop a sustainable new business model for the logistics sector and Prologis, which might disrupt the current business, but would thrive in the future.
2. Expected Outcome
An out of the box perspective on our current business.
