ACCELERATE Programme - Judgement & Decision Making Reviews

Really useful tools and techniques shared

Liz is great. Excellent pace and really positive. She’s excellent at drawing discussion and including everyone.

Liz comes across really well and is enthusiastic. My feedback is about the accelerate programme as a whole: I just feel the course sessions go on too long and take up too much time in our working week. I think they should cut down all the breakout sessions, which are used to fill time, but often result in conversations going off-topic. I don't really find them that beneficial. I would also consolidate each topic into one session (not two), in person, in the room, and blitz all the content in one day, not over two. 5hrs of the working week, is just too much of our time relative to the benefit. I don't think this week's session topic needed such a large amount of time. It is hard to justify all this time, at such a busy time of the financial year, when we are under a lot of work and reporting pressures.

Great course and instructor.

I really enjoyed the course , it was interesting and has definitely made me think about things differently .

The scenarios presented during the course were really interesting and relatable. This made it really easy to apply the techniques and understand the impacts in real life situations.

Paul did really well, many thanks. The future will show to what extent I can utilise the results of the course in my current role. But if I were part of (even more ;)) senior management, I'm confident I would be able to use them instantly.

Very inspiring course full of interesting and useful content. In the beginning, I was worried that me not being in a management/leadership position might not make this relevant to my current role, however, there was a lot of material that I will be able to use for my role and personal life. I really enjoyed the way information was presented and activities in the breakout rooms was nice way of breaking up the presentations. Also second day's speech by Nadia was very inspiring and encouraged me to analyse about the way I think and how I surround myself with the right people. I think the only thing is (but this is more of the Teams issue) that when we are in breakout rooms we sometimes get disconnected before we can wrap up. So perhaps slighlty more time in the room or maybe a warning (not sure if possible) would be useful!

Thank you for your time and sharing this knowledge with us.

The course was great. Facilitators were engaging and kept course content interesting, and maintained a manageable load of information to take in.
