This is an amazing feedback, thanks so much for this. We hope you take more courses on our platform
I have completed this course, how do I get my certificate please?
We will be sending this to you sir. Welldone
This is a new ground for me to explore, it’s eye opening.
Presently our business strategy at my company seems to require to do a lot more help with the supply chain strategy to achieve success. We started using just the knowledge we have on Business strategy, digital implementations, virtual and online engagement. Listening to this lecture notes makes it crystal clear that a lot more needs to be done.
I will be applying the lectures to physical practice and will be sharing my growth and success story per time.
Lovely presentation
