Technologies and technological concepts of Industry 4.0 are transforming business, reshaping business processes, and redefining employee competencies. In the era of digitalization, the vast amount of data generated daily renders traditional knowledge and approaches insufficient for managing logistics and supply chains, making continuous education imperative. This paper is the result of broader research conducted within a joint project involving five European higher education institutions specializing in logistics. The project's primary objective was to identify and develop analytical skills as a key component of the broader competency framework required for logistics and supply chain managers. The research was conducted in multiple stages, incorporating a critical literature review on logistics competencies, an analysis of logistics study program curricula, and an online survey targeting university teachers, students, and logistics professionals. The findings - namely, the systematization of analytical skills and their integration into three proposed educational courses - along with their implementation strategies, contribute to bridging the gap between the existing competencies of logistics and supply chain managers and those required in the era of digitization.
