Training use cases

Five recent programmes, in the words of the people who took part.

Workforce Enablement & Capability Uplift

Making planning theory practical for a cross-functional team

The team

Supply chain and operations colleagues from different parts of a global manufacturing business.

The challenge

Give a busy, mixed team a shared understanding of planning, from inventory and safety stock through to the behaviours that make change last.

What we did

Four live virtual sessions of three hours each. The trainer drew each concept by hand on a live camera and tied it to real-world examples. The final session focused on change management.

"Great job of boiling down the millions of concepts within supply chain management to a small number of very critical and overarching concepts."

Workforce Enablement & Capability Uplift

Developing the next generation of planning leaders

The team

High-potential planners from a multinational business, brought together as one regional group.

The challenge

Build leadership confidence as well as planning skill, so future leaders understand the levers they can pull.

What we did

A five-day planning excellence programme. It mixed practical exercises with a supply chain optimisation game and talks from experienced guest speakers.

"Playing the optimise game, we were able to learn and understand the levers in supply chain."

82% were Very likely to recommend it. 73% rated it Excellent overall.

Workforce Enablement & Capability Uplift

Bringing planning to life for people from every background

The team

A cohort of planners and colleagues, some with no formal supply chain background.

The challenge

Make core planning principles land for everyone in the room and keep a large group engaged across several days.

What we did

Interactive sessions spread over several days. They included a hands-on exercise showing how local decisions can sub-optimise the whole chain, plus applying Six Sigma thinking to inventory and safety stock.

"Coming from a non-supply chain educational background, it was nice to learn more about some of the concepts."

88% rated the encouragement to take part as Excellent.

Workforce Enablement & Capability Uplift

Getting planners ready for Kinaxis Maestro

The team

Planners at a manufacturer preparing to start working in Kinaxis Maestro.

The challenge

Help people feel at home in the system before go-live, so they can focus on good planning from day one.

What we did

Classroom training that balanced planning theory with hands-on exercises in the system. We also spent time on the planning mindset, such as where extra effort really improves accuracy.

"Training was very engaging. Trainers really made an effort to get everyone involved and make sure we were all on the same page before continuing."

The result

"I really enjoyed learning about Maestro and am very excited to start using it."

Change Enablement & Organisation Agility

Giving project leaders practical tools to lead change

The team

Project and business leaders responsible for rolling out change in their own areas.

The challenge

Move change management from theory to everyday habit, with a focus on the people side of change.

What we did

Live online sessions built to avoid "death by PowerPoint". The trainer used polls, breakout groups and hand-drawn explanations in place of slides. Content covered how people move through change, how to communicate it in a structured way and practical tools from a change management playbook.

"The practical tools and frameworks that I can immediately apply in my daily work."

The result

100%

83% were Very likely to recommend it. 72% rated it Excellent overall.
