I work in our Organisational Performance practice group, working with clients on projects relating to culture, leadership, organisational development, and change management.
I love the process of starting with lots of disparate, muddy information about a situation and synthesising until I have an insight that brings the situation into focus.
The diversity of the cohort is what I’ve loved most. People come from a variety of backgrounds and having that exchange of ideas in class has been very beneficial.
Nous largely looks at your ability to think in a structured way, draw out key findings from data (qualitative and quantitative), and communicate insights in a clear and compelling way for clients (usually through PowerPoint or Word).
Coming in as a dietitian, I thought I was a fish out of water in the corporate world. I was proven wrong and was so surprised by the diverse backgrounds and experiences of all my colleagues.
