I found the conference room easily, thanks to

the friendly signs.

The music was a nice, welcoming touch – it helped me relax after my

long journey.

At the start of the course, I was

given a comprehensive

and user-friendly manual.

On the walls, there were lots

of signs to explain the flow of the course.

There was no time to get bored: soon after the start, we

played our first Supply Chain simulation.

It helped me to understand lots of principles that we

used again throughout the

course.

There were lots of team exercises.

It meant that we were able to apply

the theory straight away, to

practical examples.

All of the activities were full of learning points

and fun.

They were so varied, everybody had a favourite.

Mine was the computer

simulation where we had to manage

a factory… My team made the biggest profit!

For every practical activity, we

documented and discussed the

outcomes. It will be useful to use it

again.

Fortunately, the tutors supplied lots

of fruit and chocolate.

We needed it to re-fuel the brain!

And it was not long before the next practical team exercise!

Some of them were really

challenging…

The tutors really looked after us:

we even did some exercises

outdoors because the weather was

good.

The ‘Team Thermometer’

was brilliant! It enabled us to

express how we felt during the project work.

At the end, we were given some useful memory

cards and tools to use beyond the

course.
