What is Professional GBS Certification?

That model has now been encapsulated into five areas – Foundation, Service Management, Operations Management, Transformation and Leadership.

WHY CHOOSE US

Here are the top Reasons why the Global Executive Master in Operations and Supply Chain Management at MIP Politecnico di Milano will be a game-changer for you.

INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE

The master offers participants the opportunity to dive into a unique and international learning experience and gives the possibility to learn from a multinational faculty coming from two international partner schools. The class, which is composed of candidates coming from all over the world, offers students a multicultural environment in which they will enhance their intercultural competences.

On top of that, candidates will participate in the International Week in China that starts from the standpoint that successful business relationships have proven to be challenging both for many multinational companies and for small and medium‐sized Western enterprises. Besides, a good understanding of the Chinese economy and how to navigate the Asian business environment is key to success for any company. Through classes, presentations and company visits, participants will deepen their understanding of the Chinese culture and the local business environment, as well as their knowledge of operations and supply chain management in emerging Asian economies.

METHODOLOGY

The course focuses on delivering education in a highly active and 'hands-on' manner, with an emphasis on a 'learning by doing' approach. The methodology reflects companies’ demand for professionals with skills such as the capacity to reflect, the ability to act in the face of change, the versatility to work in teams and the adaptability to face the challenges of a global environment.

As the programme is part time, students are able to employ the ideas and practices learnt in class, directly into their current working professions. This allows for simultaneous growth and development, and the ability to effectively implement the didactical and cognitive skills and functions relevant to their position.

Furthermore, students will be able to train their skills through 9 company-led challenges, case studies, simulation games (The Connections), analysis, discussion groups and team-working activities by constantly working on real-life business cases and making strategic decisions. Morevoere, at the end of the program, students will have the chance to apply the concepts learnt during the Gemos journey to real contexts with the final Project Work.

FLEXIBILITY

The program has been reshaped to be more flexible and fully compatible with your own personal and professional life.

Taking advantage of the knowledge developed since 2014 with our online programs, recognised in the top 10 worldwide according to QS Online MBA Rankings; GEMOS students have access to our innovative digital learning platform, developed by MIP on MICROSOFT technology.

CONCENTRATION ON LEADERSHIP SKILLS

Being effective in today’s business world requires managers and leaders to consistently work on developing their personal and professional skills. In the context of a rapidly changing and demanding business environment, communication skills, the ability to work effectively in teams, leadership qualities, decision-making skills and the capacity to resolve conflicts in a constructive way, are among the most important competencies.

The concentration on leadership skills is aimed at transforming operations and supply chain personnel into leaders. Within the Concentration, those and other so‐called soft skills will be assessed, trained, and developed.

NETWORKING WITH COMPANIES

GEMOS is designed and delivered in partnership with companies: more than 20 companies are directly involved, through sessions, visits and opportunities. This can be an excellent way for both students and professionals to network, and provide them with a unique opportunity to gain insights into how various companies operate in different markets.

In addition, students have the chance to interact with the Corporate Advisory Board (CAB), the international consultancy committee of the Global Executive Master in Operations and Supply Chain Management, composed of independent business professionals from global companies.

BENEFITS FOR YOU AND YOUR COMPANY

Students of the GEMOS program will not only enhance their own skill-set but they will also be able to add value to their company while studying. Through the program they remain abreast of the latest developments in the field of operations and supply chain management and candidates will have an immediate return on investment. The “learning by doing” methodology allows employees to apply immediately their newly-acquired knowledge and skills in their workplace.

The company-based final Project work can be undertaken in the student’s company and the goal of the project is to develop an action plan in operations and supply chain management to improve the competitive position of the company.

  • DIGITAL EXPERIENCE: live sessions, lessons are held on Tuesday and Thursday from 7.00pm to 9.30pm CET, challenges, simulation games, video clip, Q&A. Lessons are delivered through our innovative digital learning platform, developed by MIP on MICROSOFT technology.

  • CONCENTRATION ON LEADERSHIP SKILLS: to combine hard and soft skills
  • NETWORKING: international context, networking opportunities, peer-to-peer, with companies and with MIP’s SCM alumni club.
  • COMPANY-BASED PROJECT WORK: at the end of the program to put into practice what learnt during the master
  • DOUBLE DIPLOMA: The Global Executive Master in Operations & Supply Chain (GEMOS) issues a double diploma; the MIP Diploma and the University Master Diploma issued by the Politecnico di Milano. The latter is subject to the assessment of the enrolment prerequisites.

PROGRAM

The kick off of the master is in September 2022.

  • Nine online, live, company‐led monthly challenges
  • Two full‐time international weeks (one in Europe and one in China), from Sunday evening to Saturday afternoon
  • Two simulation games (The Connections) on circular Supply Chains and Supply Chain Finance respectively
  • One concentration on leadership skills, to combine hard and soft skills
  • Your final company‐based project work

THE CHALLENGES

The challenges represent some of the most dreadful pain points of which many companies are well aware, yet which they have not yet found a way of assuaging. The program will address certain key issues within operations and supply chain management:

  • Supply chain strategy
  • Global supply chain management
  • Factory planning via big data
  • Smart manufacturing
  • Digital procurement
  • Managing distribution networks
  • Supply chain sustainability
  • Supply chain innovation
  • Supply chain risk management
INTERNATIONAL WEEK IN EUROPE

The first international week takes place in Europe – in Milan (Italy) and Barcelona (Spain) – at the beginning of the program, and it directly involves MIP and EADA, also with the purpose of team‐building. This week is designed to help participants develop an in‐depth understanding of how European business operates in domestic and global markets, with an emphasis on operations and supply chain management. The week ends with a full‐day campus experience totally devoted to introducing the concentration on leadership skills.

What can you expect? Lectures, company visits, in-company classes, visits to the Politecnico di Milano labs, networking activities, and a visit to Barcelona’s ports, exploiting both hard and soft skills in a very inspiring way.

INTERNATIONAL WEEK IN CHINA

The International Week in China consists of full immersions at Beijing Jiaotong University and at Xi’an Jiaotong University. Beijing Jiaotong University was founded by the Qing Government in 1909, growing out of the former Beijing Railway Management Institute; it is still one of the most important universities in telecommunications and railway management in China. Besides, it is the first higher educational institute specialised in educating managerial talents in China. Xi'an Jiaotong University is grounded in its strengths in engineering, technology, management, and life sciences. It houses five key national laboratories, four special national laboratories, and two national engineering research centres, and it is the hub of the University Alliance of the Silk Road.

CONCENTRATION ON LEADERSHIP SKILLS

Leaders help themselves and others to do the right thing. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal. In business, leadership is linked to performance, and any definition of leadership must take that into account. While there are some people who seem to be naturally endowed with more leadership abilities than others, anyone can learn to become a leader by improving some specific skills. The concentration on Leadership Skills is aimed at transforming operations and supply chain personnel into leaders.

The methodology focuses on learning by doing, reflection and conceptualisation. To optimise the learning process and take full advantage of the online format, different teaching methodologies will be used during this course.

FINAL BUSINESS PROJECT WORK

The final Business Project is a short end of course project performed at an associated company. The goal of the Project is to develop an action plan in operations and supply chain management to improve the competitive position of a chosen company.

The specific objectives of the Project are:

  • To apply the knowledge acquired throughout the program to a specific business situation
  • To identify the gaps between corporate or business strategy and operations/supply chain strategy (implementation)
  • To develop a feasible, complete, coherent and convincing plan of action
  • To develop research and presentation skills

Students can undertake the project work at a place of their choice, which can be the company where they work or a different one. The project will be performed individually under the guidance of a university tutor.

The MIP and EADA faculty is made up of professors with extremely diverse professional and educational backgrounds, further complemented by a dedicated teaching staff.

Faculty members of MIP, many of whom are successful professionals in their own right, draw on their own consulting work and the immense research facilities of the Politecnico di Milano to provide, up-to-date, diverse and relevant material for lectures and business cases, and routinely strive to be readily accessible to students, and to make classroom time a rewarding and exciting experience.

Additionally, the faculty is composed of a large number of international members, which is further representative of the school’s highly globalised environment. In particular, EADA professors have a strong reputation for practical teaching quality and for developing of management skills and personal growth.
