Attending this course was rewarding. It refreshed my strategic thinking and highlighted how organisations across different industries face remarkably similar challenges when designing and implementing strategy. The course created an environment for open conversation, healthy debate, and constructive questioning of assumptions and biases - making the learning both practical and thought-provoking.
