Management School awarded two mKTP projects
The Management School has recently been successful in securing two Management Knowledge Transfer Partnership (mKTP) projects with Kays Medical and Kays Logistics, based in Liverpool City Region.
Both projects will involve academics from the School’s Operations and Supply Chain Management group and the Centre of Supply Chain Research. One project will transform the company’s catalogue of training provisions into a fully digital, interactive and gamified suite of learning modules. The other will optimise logistics processes through the use of analytics and new digital solutions.
Gareth Sutton, Chief Financial Officer at Kays said, “We’re excited to be collaborating with the Management School as the partnership will really help us utilise sophisticated data analytics and cutting-edge technologies to streamline our operations and develop gamified training platforms for our clients. The mKTP’s will provide a framework to fully embed the new learning into the business.”
The Management School, since its foundation and through its predecessors, has a 30-year history of delivering KTP’s.
