The purpose of this research was to provide a list of the most relevant competencies that Supply Chain and Operations managers would need to effectively lead their employees in times of the Digital Transformation. To determine these competencies, interviews were conducted with 15 subject-matter experts, who were also asked to answer a questionnaire, and results were triangulated with information gathered though a job-ad analysis consisting of a sample of 260 job ads. The results showed twelve competencies to be most important: Managing change, Interpersonal skills and emotional capabilities, Effective communication, Technological savvy, Analytical thinking, Big picture and strategic thinking, Leading others, Teamwork and collaboration, Talent development, Critical thinking and problem-solving, Creativity, and Negotiation and persuasion skills.
