Facilitators
This program delivered valuable insights into the importance of data for decision-making. It taught me not only how to analyse and process data, but also how to communicate it effectively. This is highly relevant to my HR role, where I manage employee analytics and present insights to the board to support HR policies and recommendations. The delicious food was an added bonus, and I would definitely recommend this program to my colleagues.
