Does anyone have suggestions for the best supply chain and operations certifications to get? I just switched from M&A consulting to supply chain and operations and want to get one. I know of the ASCM and wonder if that’s the best or if there are others that are comprehensive and offer strong professional credentials too? If ASCM, is there one that is best for supply chain and ops consultants?

MIT micromasters in supply chain, ASCM, and lean six sigma are the big ones

Lean six sigma green or black belt, the ACSM CSCP, PMI CAPM, anything related to data analytics

APICS is another; but the best IMHO was the MITx MicroMasters in Supply Chain. It is the best, and also is a pathway to doing an on-campus Masters degree in SC at MIT. Pls DM me, happy to help answer questions.

APICs is now ASCM

Can a newspaper use my photo without my consent?

I'm not a reporter, I'm just a citizen who took a picture during an event and uploaded it to my social media account. Turns out a digital media wrote me to have permission to use my picture, and when I said yes, they said they were looking for some other picture because I had already given permission to the competitors, which I didn't.
They just posted it without asking me, letting me know, or even mentioning my credits. Is this legal?

However, the volume of work and the way they are responding are starting to concern me ethics wise. Yesterday I was given a 200 page contract to review for GDPR. I asked for 3 day turnaround, normally I get at least 24 hours. I have no legal support.
