Best personal development I have undertaken, ever!

What WIG does is bring people together in a very, very constructive way.

I honestly think WIG is the best value membership organisation there is.

An excellent forum for promoting dialogue with government and the private sector especially.

The programme has given me greater insight and awareness of the type of person and leader I am.

A fascinating, informative and thought provoking session. Passionate and inspirational speakers

Only since I went on your marvellous course have I truly learnt the tools of the trade.

I think I can speak on behalf of all the WIG members in affirming our appreciation for breadth and depth of the programme that you and the team assemble each year.

Attending a WIG breakfast briefing can really set you up for your day ahead

There are literally dozens of events on Brexit right now – but none will have the value of WIG’s.

I love what WIG do – amazing how you have reacted to the pandemic– you come across very well. I appreciate all that WIG does

An amazing opportunity with exposure to cross sector perspectives

WIG matched me with a mentor who was a perfect fit and since we were introduced to each other, I have had tremendous value from the relationship even in the short time so far. It is a valuable experience that I would highly recommend.

"it was a great session and the facilitators did a great job and packing the theory, an interactive activity and some food for thought to take away"

"This seminar was about creating connectivity in virtual teams and the value of this was demonstrated - the group quickly established rapport due to excellent facilitation and the outcome was that we shared ideas and learnt from one another. Thank you!"

I’ve been in the civil service for 14 years and can honestly say this was the best and most useful course I have ever done

"Very relaxed atmosphere which puts you at ease instantly."

I learnt a great deal from SLP and I’m certain it enhanced my effectiveness and confidence. Ultimately, I probably wouldn’t have made it up to Permanent Secretary if I hadn’t attended

The range of views from the public and private sector was incredibly useful.

Being a Non-Executive (...) brings with it a great education, an introduction to a diverse network of people, an opportunity to do my bit ...

My Charity Next experience enabled me to take up non-executive roles in the voluntary sector and advisor roles in central government. I have gone on to start my own business which depended on the network that Charity Next helped me to develop.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the session, was energised by the facilitator, captured by the subject matter, and able to engage well with the other delegates. Valuable learnings indeed!"

In our busy lives we sometimes miss out on connecting with people. WIG is very good at putting people in touch with each other.

WIG events are a unique opportunity to learn more about public policy and make contacts across the public, private and third sectors

I welcome The Whitehall & Industry Group’s role in promoting sensible debate and (...) their role in convening great discussions.

The amount of interactive exercises & practical advice; the women-only environment; the lovely facilitators; the safe environment

As Cabinet Secretary, I've really made use of WIG.

WIG is a great opportunity to hear from government on policy issues that will impact the private sector

I think WIG is a great institution, if we didn't have it, we'd have to create it.

I am a massive fan of WIG.

"It was great hearing other's experiences of lockdown. Their perspectives have helped me to see it through their eyes and inspired some new approaches I will be trialling with my team."

A really enjoyable day. A great opportunity to interact with like-minded individuals!”

WIG runs great events, providing topical insights by good speakers.  This year they helped me second a senior official into my organisation. They found a great candidate and the process was seamless. Proud to be a WIG member.

I think The Whitehall & Industry Group is a really fantastic organisation! If it didn’t exist, it would be necessary to invent it. WIG curates a really important space between the private sector and government; it convenes around topics of real common interest.

Excellent, concise and impactive

Working alongside people from a variety of backgrounds offered a collaborative space in which to discuss problems and draw from others’ experience, which I found particularly helpful.

You could not have found a more perfect mentor for me.

Best run programme I have been on

Every woman should attend this! Empowering, uplifting and insightful – I want more!

A really high quality event, giving insight into the machinations and relationships within Whitehall.

For our first experience of a Charity Next secondee we weren't sure what to expect, but we couldn't have been happier. He adapted quickly to our workplace and produced high quality work which has been really well received by our Senior Leadership Team and Board.

The greatest value is in expanding our networks. Imperial has an outstanding range of business connections but WIG helps to broaden that network.

Built a network of fantastic peers which will serve me well over the coming years

Fantastic organisation with impact far bigger than its size. It punches above its weight.
