PUBLICATIONS & OUTILS

22 so-called “critical” roles have been identified and categorised into four clusters based on the nature of the skills required and how they are applied. Key hard and soft skills, bottlenecks and areas for action are then set out in detail in each of the fact sheets produced following two collaborative workshops facilitated by our partner Argon&Co during our RISC 2026 conference. The professionals in attendance helped to review and validate:

• a common framework for analysis,
• the list of critical roles and the associated skills.

A role where a vacancy or a skills shortage jeopardises the organisation’s operational performance, the continuity of workflows or its ability to adapt.

A living document

This document serves as an initial working basis, enriched by the discussions held during the RISC conference. It is intended to be expanded and updated as the Human Capital Lab’s work progresses, in conjunction with France Supply Chain’s existing resources: role profiles, training guides, and initiatives to attract talent and promote career pathways.

Members wishing to contribute to its development are invited to contact the Lab team.
