Course structure 

This course is designed and delivered by supply chain experts aiming to familiarise forward-thinking leaders with the essential tools, technologies and approaches that are required to design, plan, manage and optimise the complex supply chains of today.

As facilitators, our role is to encourage participants to engage with knowledge at a deeper and more interactive level, working with what they are learning in the real-world sense, rather than just passively taking information on board.  The programme therefore is structured to provide participants with ample opportunity to engage and interact with the facilitator and other course participants
