What others say
Opened my eyes to opportunities for improvement and really exposed blind spots…I feel confident I can get what I need from co-workers and senior teams to succeed in my role.
Excellent opportunity to network and brainstorm with peers facing similar challenges in this space!
This is an ideal opportunity to learn how others are tackling the operations in their company, be thought partners and share learnings.
