Project planner

Turn your idea into a brief you can build.

Create a product requirements document (PRD) that defines what to build, plus a clear instruction to implement it. Start with your goal and work through the details.

Specialist books

One subject.
A deeper understanding.

Go further into a specific supply chain discipline. Specialist books connect the business decisions with the models behind them, then help you build and verify tools you can understand.

Work through explanations, worked examples, and practical exercises at your own pace. Each title is a focused handbook you can return to when the problem calls for more depth.

Hands-on exercises in every book.

Every book comes with exercises you do yourself. Read a chapter, then practise its method on realistic files until you can use it on your own work.

  1. Practice files

    Work on data made for the exercise.

    Each exercise comes with files from Upshift, the fictional bicycle company in the books: agreements, orders, emails and spreadsheets, ready to give your AI.

  2. A guide for every step

    Know what to do next.

    A walkthrough tells you what to give the AI, what to ask it, and how to check its answer against the sources.

  3. A reference to check against

    See how your result compares.

    Compare your answer with a worked reference, mark the exercise done, and follow your progress through the book in your workbench.

Start with something
you can finish.

A useful task, the source material, and a way to check the result. These exercises include fictional practice files and worked references.

Bring the tools.
Keep the judgment.

Use your own assistant, spreadsheet, coding environment, or document library. Each exercise explains the tools and information it needs.

  • AI assistants
  • Spreadsheets & data
  • Tools & code
  • Knowledge sources

The companion guides your practice. AI execution happens in your own tools; this personal workspace keeps notes and progress in your browser.

Supply chain experience.
Applied AI.

Start with a useful question. Build something. Check that it works. The books and companion bring that approach to the decisions supply chain teams make every day.
