How the course works

One company. Two days. Real decisions.

Every module follows the same fictional business, Meridian Manufacturing & Distribution Ltd. You meet its people, walk its sites and deal with its problems as the course builds.
So rather than learning rules in the abstract, you apply them to a workplace that feels familiar, and you see how one decision affects the next.
Every task is looked at through four lenses

Task

What is being done

People

Who does it and who it affects

Environment

Where it happens

System

How the work is organised
