Key learning outcomes include mastering the art of "technical translation," employing motivational techniques to drive team performance, and maintaining professional integrity across cross-functional field teams. This session is designed for students and professionals eager to transition from technical contributors to influential communicators and mentors.

This professional training course introduces participants to the fundamentals of designing and managing supply chains in startup and SME environments. This course provides a structured yet practical approach to building lean, scalable, and resilient supply chains from the ground up, by drawing on real-world experience from Al Joud Industries (a growing manufacturing startup) and global best practices from Reckitt (a leading FMCG multinational). Participants will learn how to map end-to-end supply chain flows, select between inventory strategies such as Just-in-Time and safety stock, and prioritize initiatives that create the most operational impact with limited budgets. By the end of the course, participants will understand how to structure and manage core supply chain functions in resource-constrained environments, avoid common pitfalls, and build a foundation for sustainable growth. This workshop is ideal for students, entrepreneurs, and early-career professionals interested in practical supply chain applications.

This workshop introduces participants to Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN) with step-by-step training on using Bayes Server. Students will learn how to design proper surveys for data collection and ensure data quality for Bayesian modeling. The course focuses on understanding whether data variables are independent or interdependent and how to analyze these relationships using BBN. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to build, analyze, and interpret Bayesian network models for informed decision-making.

The Introduction to TOPSIS（Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) explores a sophisticated Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis （MCDA） framework designed to identify the best choice. The core content focuses on transforming diverse, real-world variables such as cost, quality, and risk into a normalized, dimensionless matrix that allows for objective comparison across competing objectives. Through this course, learners achieve outcomes centred on systematizing subjectivity and optimizing trade-offs, gaining the ability to calculate a closeness coefficient that ranks alternatives from most to least desirable. Ultimately, the course empowers students to mitigate decision-making bias by replacing intuitive with a rigorous mathematical process applicable to fields as varied as engineering, logistics, and business management.
