February 16, 2026 — DRI International (DRI) and Arizona State University (ASU) announced the launch of the ASU–DRI International Supply Chain Resilience Course and Certification Eligibility Program, a joint initiative designed to prepare professionals to manage escalating global disruptions.
The program combines the academic leadership of ASU’s top-ranked NASPO Department of Supply Chain Management in the W. P. Carey School of Business with the globally recognized resilience curriculum and certifications of DRI International. Students who successfully complete the four-day course and pass the exam will be eligible to apply for DRI’s supply chain resilience certification: Certified Supply Chain Resilience Professional (CSCRP) or Associate Supply Chain Resilience Professional (ASCRP), depending on experience.
As supply chains face unprecedented pressures — including pandemics, cyberthreats, geopolitical instability, regulatory shifts, and climate-driven events — resilience has emerged as a defining capability for organizational competitiveness and continuity.
“Resilient supply chains must evolve to become adaptive systems capable of sensing disruption, modeling risk, and responding dynamically across complex global networks,” said DRI President and CEO Michelle Cross, MBCP, CCRP. “This collaboration with Arizona State University integrates advanced supply chain research and decision frameworks with proven resilience disciplines — such as risk assessment, business impact analysis, continuity planning and testing — to equip professionals with the capabilities needed to operationalize resilience and transform potential disruption into sustained competitive advantage.”
“This new partnership between DRI International and the W. P. Carey School of Business reflects our shared commitment to strengthening supply chain resilience through education and practical application,” said Adegoke Oke, NASPO Endowed Department Chair and Professor, NASPO Department of Supply Chain Management. “Through this program, we are excited to help leaders build stronger, more agile supply chains that can adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing environment.”
