Our recent study trip to Copenhagen with Grenoble Ecole de Management was such an eye-opening experience. It was a week packed with learning, innovation, and a deeper look into how global businesses are leading the way in sustainability and project management. A major highlight for me was visiting the UNICEF Global Supply Hub with Fady Mansour. Growing up in Madagascar, I’ve always been aware of the life-saving work UNICEF does on the ground. Getting to see the "behind-the-scenes" of the world’s largest humanitarian warehouse—and the massive logistics operation that makes it all possible—felt incredibly personal. It’s one thing to read about supply chains, but it’s another to see the tangible impact they have on countries like mine. It was a great reminder that the frameworks we’re learning in class have the power to solve real-world challenges. A huge thank you to Rikke Smedebol and Céline Foss for making this trip happen and for such a seamless week of learning. Truly grateful for the memories and the shift in perspective! #GEM #Copenhagen #UNICEF #ProjectManagement #GlobalImpact
