The result is a demand-driven organization with higher service levels and sales, more satisfied customers, and lower inventory and distribution costs.
Deep Dive into Demand, Supply, and Executive Reviews
The knowledge and skills you develop in this course will help you gain consensus at the demand and supply levels.

The instructor was great and the labs and exercises where very clear and rich
Learnt new things on AWS DEVOPS side from Tutor Ryan. Happy that he was able to assist on our questions.
I had a good and comfortable remote training experience. Look forward to more such trainings.
I took the AWS Technical Essentials and it was taught very well. It was very comprehensive and the instructor was fantastic. Already having familiarity with AWS, it was still taught at a level where I felt like it was worth taking before doing taking the AWS Developer course.
Very effective way of training. I love the access after the class of the recording and labs.
