"We think really carefully about the partners that we work with for this graduate placement. We want every experience to really challenge our colleagues and graduates, to help them step outside their comfort zones and to get them thinking differently. It's crucial for us to also work with some really brilliant partners who can bring their expertise and share it with a group of graduates."

Experian
“Impact were world class in their ability to align desired outcomes and design a challenging leadership experience. Their facilitation was on. point, woven in perfectly with the external conditions our participants were experiencing. The programme challenged participants in many different forms to ensure everyone was stretched. It brought an awareness of how to handle difficulty and ambiguity, of the impact they had on others, and of the strength they drew from themselves and their team."
