Additional activities

Bootcamp: Design Thinking and supply chain design

Whether in the creation of products or services, Design Thinking can bring innovation closer to supply chains, identifying new solutions or providing new, more effective and efficient ways of organizing. The bootcamp will address content such as the design thinking phases, the 4 key tools of design thinking, and the analysis of real cases.

This bootcamp will allow students to delve into one of the most important, delicate and expensive processes in the supply chain, and which also constitutes the only point of physical contact with e-commerce companies, key in the user experience and in its consequent loyalty.

'Case studies': Case method

The practical component of the program is essential and completes the theoretical training. For this, during the course there will be debates on current issues and interest in each of the subjects, simulations for decision-making applied to real situations or practical cases where the problems raised will be analyzed from an academic point of view and the proposed solutions, as well as the criteria taken into account to carry them out.

Webinars

Most of the training is carried out asynchronously, that is, the exchange of knowledge is carried out through a platform that allows the sharing of written texts without the need for people to be connected at the same time.

Additionally, in each of the modules synchronous sessions or 'webinars' are organized, where all the participants are connected at the same time through an application, which allows the exchange of knowledge in 'real time'.
