🚀 Diving Headfirst into the Supply Chain Abyss 🚀
Who knew that jumping from a non-supply chain background into Columbia Business School's Supply Chain Management course would be akin to learning a new language? One filled with terms like "inventory management" and "logistics" – and not the kind where you’re just managing to find your car keys.
Led by Professor Will Ma (https://lnkd.in/ejdrmiCx), this course was my gateway into a world where stocking apples in a grocery store is more complex than a season finale of a TV drama. From tackling case studies that made Amazon’s logistics look like child's play to simulation games that had me on the edge of my seat more than any thriller could, it's been a wild ride.
Speaking of games, shoutout to my dynamic duo, Jenn and Abhay. We channelled our inner retail moguls and clinched the award in the Retail Pricing Game. Who knew pricing could be an extreme sport?
Then came Glenn A. Steinberg, the Yoda of supply chain management. With his tales of global supply chain heroics and a career that makes my LinkedIn page look like a rookie's, Glenn A. Steinberg turned a lecture on resilience and sustainability into a masterclass on how to save the world one supply chain at a time. His advice? Be resilient, sustainable, and maybe learn how to manage a crisis or two.
In all seriousness, this course was a revelation. It showed me that supply chains are the unsung heroes of our daily lives, making sure our toilet paper rolls and semiconductors arrive just in time. A big shoutout to Professor Ma, Glenn A. Steinberg, and every guest speaker who dared us to think outside the box (literally).
For anyone sitting on the fence about this elective, leap off – it’s worth it. As for me, I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and dive into the supply chain world, armed with insights, humor, and a newfound appreciation for logistics wizards everywhere.
Here's to conquering the supply chain universe, one strategic move at a time! 🌎✨
