Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Identifying and pulling the levers that affect margin. Daily looking at data to find opportunities to increase our margin performance through pricing, discounting, or process and operational efficiencies. Managing a team and responsible for Continuous Improvement programme in the market.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
It was hard on top of the day job especially as I was the manager! Found the support from the Multiverse coach to be inconsistent at best. But I did enjoy the module sessions and being able to try new things.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Yes, but only the data elements. Was already a change and project manager.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The main module sessions were well organised, however the coaching sessions were a little more ad hoc!
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I was in control as to the amount of support. They were very supportive when I needed it.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Support from the coaches was inconsistent. One coach never seemed to reply to emails and another one wasn't able to help on a Power BI query
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Absolutely invaluable to my role and confidence when speaking to other people about data.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
No
