“Having been researching various methods for strategy development, I was excited to come across the SDWC course - I wasn’t disappointed. There was a great balance between theory and the opportunity to apply what you were learning to real-world examples (including our own projects). I have already started thinking about how to use SDWC processes in my work.” Heather Gurd, Social Impact Manager, Marwell Zoo
