"I had high hopes that it would give structure and direction to my thinking. I had no idea that it would make me completely re-evaluate everything I thought I’d ever known! I thought I understood marketing, project management, and about where I could take the system we’d developed, but the programme opened my mind up to so many new possibilities."
