What our graduates say

Jeffrey Walsh
Innovation engagement and embedding an innovative culture is central to my role in ESB Customer Solutions. A key insight from the programme was how your role as a facilitator is to bring the best out of the people in the room through open questioning and discussion. I utilise this in the innovation ideation workshop I facilitate now.
