    The programme has helped me understand the complexity behind an organisation’s supply chain and how effective and efficient supply chain management is essential to creating a lasting competitive advantage. I have taken on a job as a business consultant, specialising in supply chain and operations projects, and the knowledge I have built up during my masters helps me on a daily basis.
