Anderson is board approved in supply chain strategy, an advisory board member for the Advanced Supply Chain Certification program, and was named a top 100 supply chain blogger on SupplyChainOpz.

"I remember coming out of college and having to do a lot of learning on the job," explains LMA Consulting President Lisa Anderson. "I've been fortunate to have several wonderful mentors who helped me navigate the "real business world" and apply what I learned in school to drive business results. Without a doubt, I wouldn't be where I am today without them. Thus, I'd like to pass on the same type of knowledge to my mentees."
"Supply chains have become substantially more complex over the last several years. For example, supply chains have extended (with many more players involved), natural disasters have created customer disruption, security threats are commonplace and Amazon has driven elevated customer expectations which have created a supply chain skills gap. There has never been a better time for women to rise to the occasion. I find vast talent in young women. With a bit of mentoring, they can thrive, fill critical gaps in organizations and develop rewarding careers in supply chain management."
Celebrating its eleventh year, LMA Consulting Group helps growing companies elevate overall business performance while creating a customer service edge. Through a number of proven proprietary processes, LMA Consulting Group can pinpoint areas for improvement with eagle eye precision and develop the strategies to deliver results.
