Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work in the enterprise side of Pearson, managing relationships between different business units and our go-to-market strategy.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoyed my program in Level 7 Systems Thinking Dynamics - it was challenging at first, but as I started to practice and use what I was learning in the work environment, i was able to analyze and help team approach challenges in a different way. Pearson supported my learning immensely, by giving me the opportunity to shape my role in a way that was system thinking focussed - finding ways to help my team and the wider department work for effectively together.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes - I learnt Systems Thinking methodologies, how to approach messy, ill-defined situations and how to manage stakeholders in a complex environment.
