Why it works

Real-world Scenarios in a Simulated World of Practice 

  • Written by people who do the job.

    Every scenario is authored by a certified supply chain professional, drawn from situations they have actually handled.

  • Scored every run.

    Your work is graded against a professional rubric after each run. Your best score goes on your record.

  • Five runs per scenario.

    Run the same situation up to five times. Watch your score climb as you adjust your approach.

  • Tested by students and working professionals.

    “Wow, I actually have had to negotiate with someone like Blake - very realistic and valuable."

    — Supply chain professional

    “This is way more fun and relevant than a lot of my course material.”

    — Student tester

Inside a scenario

See a run in action

An actual exchange from a ScenarioB service-recovery Scenario. You play the buyer; in this case the Buyer, Richard, has been tasked to get the RMA and an expedited shipment of the custom brushes. Getting that from Blake is not going to be easy.

Real-world scenarios

Practice the real world situations designed by Certified that define the job

Each scenario drops you into a working situation designed  by our team of  certified Supply Chain practitioners -  situations they have identified as key skills to have and hone in the field of Procurement.  You run a scenario, get scored by our Assessor.  Take the Assessor's feedback and run the Scenario again until you are confident. Scenarios run in multiple languages and can be generated for the region you work in — the negotiation style you will face in Frankfurt differs from the one in Shenzhen, and the practice should match.

  • Supplier Relations

    The Failing Supplier

    Your key supplier is having difficulties meeting demand, and you need a second supplier. But your predecessor in the job mishandled the relationship and now you have to make good and get the goods. Time to make the call.

  • Cross-Cultural Negotiation

    New to the Region

    You have just been assigned to the overseas division and your manager has emphasized the importance of understanding the cultural nuances in negotiating. And your supplier knows you are new to both the role and the region. Good luck with that!

  • What do I get when I finish?

    Your scores for the scenario, based on the rubric set by certified practitioners. Verified badging is coming soon.

  • How is this different from a course?

    Courses are great for teaching the material, and scenarios give you the opportunity to put that into practice. You handle realistic situations — negotiating a price reduction, drawing requirements out of a reluctant VP — and you are graded on how you handle them.

    Certified supply chain professionals, working from situations they have handled in their own careers.

  • Who is it for?

    New graduates preparing for interviews and first roles, working professionals who want to sharpen their skills against tougher opponents, individuals who just want a challenge.

  • Which languages and regions are supported?

    Scenarios can be run in multiple languages and can be generated with cultural specificity for a region.  ScenarioB is adding languages each month. Language availability shows up in the Scenario dropdown.
