Testimonials

“I liked the real-world application presentations and case examples.”

“I was particularly impressed by the strong emphasis on cultural adaptation and collaboration strategies, which I believe are crucial to the program’s success.”

“I can easily say that we wouldn’t have been able to push this out without the D&I Launchpad E2I group. The manual development, getting things trade-marked, looking nationally at what people need—we would not have been able to do that.”
