I found this course a really helpful way to think strategically about leading the EDI work in our organization. Whilst the assignment was certainly daunting it was a really useful to consolidate the learning from the online sessions and reading and contextualise this within my organization. The feedback from the assignment has also helped to support me in my role as EDI lead.
