Fostering multidisciplinary and organisational knowledge, proactive practices, self-awareness and networking, ALPs enable learning to continue well beyond programme completion.

Throughout the programme, you will analyse different aspects of the supply chain within your organisation or industry, use the knowledge you have gained to propose a solution, develop and implement a strategy, and reflect and reframe the proposal. ​Each module adopts a new focus, giving you the opportunity to create a comprehensive, robust portfolio that demonstrates your ability to apply concepts in a real-world scenario.​
