“The greatest challenge of my job is figuring out how to solve large-scale issues by engaging, growing, and developing the many, complex humans in our organization. HDO taught me how to think critically and systemically about the moving parts of my large organization, while always holding humanity at the center. Studying in HDO was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and I know I will see the ROI for decades to come.”
