“I really enjoyed the course. I found the mentor sessions really useful as they challenged me to think about the impact of my project in a totally different but more powerful way.”
“I really enjoyed the programme, especially the 1:1 mentoring which allowed me to take a reasonably complex concept and whittle it down to two concise process improvements that should improve business practice.”
