Lactation and especially milk, which is the product of that unique mammalian process, are routinely encountered within our daily lives. Nevertheless, they often are poorly understood by many, even including many who are engaged in the business of producing milk. The overall course goal is to introduce fundamental concepts that form the basis for understanding the biology of lactation, the biology of the mammary gland, and the products of that important physiological process. As a learner in this course, you will be provided with a series of easily understood presentations that collectively will help you build a foundation for greater understanding of lactation. You will be able to engage with other learners so that you can extend your learning beyond the video presentations. Ultimately, you will be able to construct your own mental model for understanding the wide range of topics that relate to the biology of lactation. Upon completion of the course, you will be prepared to expand your knowledge and understanding of lactation from other sources and experiences as you pursue your individual interests. Before you start the course, I suggest that you identify a question or several questions about lactation that you already have on your mind. This could be from your own experiences, something you read about or saw, or something you have wondered about. Write down your question(s) and use that to help you decide how to engage with the content of this course. You might engage with the modules in the order they are presented, or start with a module that is of particular interest to you, or pick and choose modules in any order. I encourage you to engage in all of the types of learning activities that this course has to offer, including but not limited to, the discussion forums, quizzes, peer-review assignments, and concept maps and other learning aids.

A practical guide on how to Maximize Business Results during consulting projects What you'll learn: How to conduct fast and efficiently analyses in Excel related to Headcount & Workforce OptimizationHow to estimate the required number of people for specific set of tasks, or projectsWhat kind of analyses you will be performing during Headcount Optimization Projects?What frameworks you can use for Headcount OptimizationHow to estimate in Excel the impact of potential improvementsHow to optimize processes, to do the same job with fewer people?How to analyze motivation/bonus system What is the aim of this course?Consulting firms are hired very often to help in Headcount Optimization. Those projects are difficult as you have to find the right balance between reducing costs and maximizing the value of the business. You not only have to find ways to remove inefficiencies but also calculate in Excel the potential impact on the company and its value. In this course, I will teach how to perform fast and efficiently different types of analyses during projects dedicated to Headcount Optimization.In the course you will learn the following things:What kind of analyses you will be performing during Headcount Optimization Projects?What frameworks you can use for Headcount OptimizationHow to estimate in Excel the impact of potential improvementsHow to optimize processes, to do the same job with fewer people?How to analyze the motivation systemThis course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B, and services sectors that I worked for. I have carried out or supervised over 90 different performance improvement projects in different industries that generated a total of 2 billion in additional EBITDA. On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts, and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COO, CRO, CEO, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 224 000 students including people working in EY, McKinsey, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Adidas, Naspers, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange, and many others.I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, and tools that we use. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, and materials shown in the lectures so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modifications, be applied by you or your team in your work.Why have I decided to create this course?Headcount Optimization Projects are fast-paced and require a lot of hard work. You have to not only understand the business and the process but also see how this impacts the headcount now and in the future. Most firms don’t give you the full toolbox that you need to analyze the headcount. This may lead to huge frustration during consulting projects and a lot of inefficiencies.Therefore, I have decided to create this course that will help students do analyses related to the headcount, especially done during consulting projects devoted to performance improvement. The course will give you the knowledge and insight into real-life case studies that will make your life during a consulting project much easier. Thanks to this course, you will know what and how to do during Headcount Optimization Projects. You will master how to analyze data and draw conclusions from the analyses. On top of that, you will also master the essential information related to motivation systems.To sum it up, I believe that if you want to become a world-class Management Consultant or Business Analyst you have to have a pretty decent understanding of Headcount Optimization and analyses done during consulting projects devoted to that area. That is why, I highly recommend this course to Management Consultants or Business Analysts, especially those that did not finish business school. The course will help you become an expert in Headcount Optimization on the level of McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and other top consulting firms.In what way will you benefit from this course?The course is a practical, step-by-step guide loaded with tons of analyses, tricks, and hints that will significantly improve the speed with which you understand, and analyze businesses. There is little theory – mainly examples, a lot of tips from my own experience as well as other notable examples worth mentioning.
