    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • On the first day there was an introduction on AlphaSights followed by interactive events describing the BREAD process, where we could also practice what we learned, and a desk yoga session. On the second day there were conversations with associates and VPs about their journeys and current positions at AlphaSights, followed by a group exercise where we got to practice the BE-part of the BREAD process, an individual assessment and a professional development seminar.

    Your Impressions

  • 5. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I enjoyed it a lot. It was very high paced and the sessions on the BREAD process could be longer on the first day as we didn't have time to complete all the tasks during the engage and assess session. It was interesting to be put so quickly in these situations and get to immediately see what I have to improve on to get the results I want.
