FEEDBACK DETERMINES SUCCESS AND
INFLUENCE PROGRAM CONTENT
GRAD MANAGER ASSESSMENT
What do we need to refine?
 How many grads were ready for a role by
month 4? Month 5? Month 6?
 Were all DNA skills demonstrated?
What are we missing?
 Which trainings were not effective?
GRAD ANALYST FEEDBACK
What isn’t value-add?
 Felt prepared for role
 Felt trainings were effective and useful
Do we have the right timeline?
MANAGEMENT FEEDBACK
 Felt new starters were ready to contribute

WHAT DOES THIS PROVIDE BACK TO THE
BUSINESS?
SUPPORT FOR AN ANALYSIS COMMUNITY WITH AN ENDLESS APPETITE TO
LEARN AND GROW
We love to learn. We should always be learning new things. Analysts have a voice in
what training we build or buy next.
CONSISTENT, WELL-TRAINED ANALYSIS TEAMS
If Analysts don’t come in with skills, we build them up to do analysis how we do
analysis. As best practices are updated, everyone is informed and new analysts are
trained on the latest and greatest.
TIME EFFICIENCY
A regular training course cycle and available recorded sessions frees up time spent
doing 1:1 trainings.
