The Client

A supply chain management expert who sought to develop a training program for the global market.

The Challenge

The client had a unique opportunity: their content would be included in a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program on the prestigious O’Reilly platform. To make this happen, the material had to be highly professional and meet the strict standards of an advanced degree program. The challenge was to create a course that was not only educational but also worthy of being published on one of the most respected platforms in the world.

The UPKAIZEN Solution

UPKAIZEN partnered with the client to design and develop a custom training program. The class was an exhaustive presentation that covered all aspects of supply chain management, including:

  • Fundamental Concepts: Planning, procurement, warehousing, and transportation.
  • Best Practices: The program included real-world examples, interactive activities, and quizzes to ensure that the students had a complete understanding of the material.
  • Expert Insights: The training was led by a subject-matter expert, providing the students with the knowledge and skills they needed to succeed in their careers.

The Outcomes

The project resulted in a powerful training asset for the Master’s program:

  • O’Reilly Acceptance: The course met the high standards of an MBA master’s program, demonstrating that the quality of UPKAIZEN’s work is top-tier.
  • Increased Skills: The students gained a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts of supply chain management.
  • Comprehensive Resource: The final product, a narrated presentation, now serves as a valuable resource for future cohorts of the master’s program.
  • Global Reach: The training program was successfully delivered in English and Spanish, meeting the need for a global audience.
  • Client Confidence: The client, highly satisfied with the work and professionalism, not only left an excellent review but offered an additional bonus for the quality of the service, which laid the groundwork for UPKAIZEN’s repurchase of the course.

Ieva Kalve

Associate Consultant

I believe that it is healthy laziness that moves the world and business forward, and I am always ready to help find the most effective and appropriate solutions concerning strategic and change management, as well as various efficiency solutions in office work.

As a practicing consultant in Latvia, I already have 20 years of experience in various fields related to the optimization of organizational management:

  • I can help with advice on implementing the Balanced Scorecard system,
  • I have experience in creating IT and document management system modernization strategies,
  • I am a certified European ergonomist, and therefore we can work together on modern office solutions that both increase work efficiency and create comfortable and health-friendly workplaces.

 

I am constantly updating my knowledge both informally – following everything new in my areas of competence, and also formally: I have master’s degrees in pedagogy, economics, nutrition science, and modeling of sociotechnical systems. In 2021, I was a full-time student again for 1 semester – at the University of Buffalo (USA).

It is this unique “set” that allows me to view various processes, trends, and organizational needs holistically, offering realistic and at the same time modern solutions.

I also share my experience with students of various Latvian universities, I have given lectures in Lithuania, Germany, and Moldova as part of the Erasmus+ program, as well as participated in the international Sail program.

I also like to conduct corporate training.
