“The program is highly beneficial. I currently work with an organization of approximately 300 head office staff and have now learned about new programs to put in place in order to better position us relative to the competition. This program has provided me with greater insight into identifying what is broken or missing, but more importantly, how to provide solutions. It’s an intense program that has provided me with the ability to view Talent more strategically.”
