You can describe what your product does. The harder thing, the thing that makes a customer lean in, is showing them you understand the world they live in before you say a word about your solution.This is the third course in The Story System, and it turns outward. Your Origin, Purpose, and Vision were inward-facing: who you are, why you fight, where you are going. The Customer Story and the Product Story are the two stories your customers meet, and they do a different job. They do not build trust in you. They build recognition, the feeling of being understood, and then the promise of what changes because you exist.The one ruleThese two stories are joined end to end. The Customer Story ends at the longing, the moment the customer names what they want, and the Product Story picks up in exactly that place. That seam is the most important rule in the course, and most marketing breaks it by reaching for the product too early.What you will buildBy the end of this course you will have two complete stories, each written deep and then cut down to the lengths you use:A Customer Story written from inside one real customer’s world, using the four parts: Overload, Sacrifice, Trap, and Longing. It earns recognition by naming the trap, the structural reason they stay stuck even when they want to change.A Product Story that begins where the Customer Story ended, using the four parts: Moment, Mechanism, Outcome, and Transformation. It describes the real change in plain words, with the jargon stripped out.The two deployed together, the Customer Story as the telling and the Product Story as the demo narrative, on your product page, in your sales deck, and in the room.You also leave knowing how many stories a multi-product company needs: one Customer Story per change a customer is living, one Product Story per mechan

The practice test was written by the Procurement Study Buddy and contains carefully crafted questions and answers based on the content of the study guide - these are not actual passed questions from real CIPS exams as these are no longer issued by CIPS and would be an infringement of copyright. It serves as a revision only and not intended to be an exact replica of the live exams but it will at least highlight which learning outcomes you are strong on and which ones you may need to revised more on. Who this course is for:Learners who are taking the L4M7 Whole-Life Asset Management (2023 Syllabus).Learners who wish to pass the CIPS Level 4 exams - Diploma in Procurement and Supply.Learners who want to gain confidence in passing the exams by practicing the syllabus.Anyone who wants to know more about procurement in general.Whole-life asset management takes into account the total cost of a product or service, from idea through to disposal including purchase, hire or lease, maintenance, operation, utilities, training and disposal. It is important for those involved in procurement and supply to take these elements into consideration when assessing options of buying, renting or leasing equipment. Although costly, there are a range of factors organisations assess to determine the approach to inventory, and the management and control of inventory is an important driver for organisational success. This module is designed for those with responsibility for the whole-life management of assets and enables learners to analyse methods for inventory movement and control and to consider the concept of whole-life asset cost.On completion of this module, learners will be able to explain methods of inventory management, inventory analysis and the concept of whole-life asset management cost, from idea through to disposal.Thank

Did you know that disability touches a huge share of the workforce, often invisibly, yet many companies still rely on ad-hoc fixes or “check-the-box” training? Meanwhile, studies show that organizations leading in disability inclusion outperform peers on revenue, profit margins, and retention. That’s not charity, it’s strategy.Supporting Workers with Disabilities is your practical playbook for building workplaces where people with disabilities can thrive, from the first job posting to daily team habits and long-term career growth. We go beyond awareness to show you exactly how to embed inclusion in policies, culture, and operations. You’ll learn respectful language and etiquette, how to navigate the legal landscape (ADA, Equality Act, and global norms), how to make effective accommodations without red tape, and how to lead teams where disclosure is safe and performance is equitable.We’ll ground the concepts in real practice, culminating with a deep case study on Walgreens, a U.S. employer that redesigned operations to hire and advance thousands of workers with disabilities while improving safety, quality, and retention.In this course, you’ll learn how to:Understand what “disability” means at work (visible and non-apparent) and why models matter (medical vs. social).Use inclusive language and everyday etiquette confidently with colleagues and candidates.Navigate core laws and frameworks (ADA, Equality Act, CRPD) and apply the “reasonable accommodation/adjustment” standard.Run the interactive process well, from request to solution to follow-up, while protecting privacy.Design low-friction accommodations and accessible workflows (physical, digital, cognitive, sensory, mental health).Build organization-wide strategy: policies, leadership commitments, ERGs, and accessibility by default.Create a culture of psychological safety where voluntary disclosure
