Change and Innovation Manager Review

I am a Change and Innovation Manager, looking into continuous improvement ideas for our engineering department with the aim of becoming more efficient, reducing the government subsidy that SE receives from Government and building a sustainable railway for the future. Most of this is done through people engagement and working on changing the culture within SE Engineering.

During this apprenticeship I have developed some self reflection skills, which sometimes help me to plan better and worry less about workstreams.

I am enjoying the programme so far. I think i would prefer face to face workshop sessions than the ones hosted online.

Well organised so far - still some way to go.

I receive excellent support from my line manager.

I have regular check in sessions with my learning coach.

Currently i wouldnt say the training has helped me perform any better, but i am about 1/3 of the way into the course.

There are some, but it depends on where you work - my role is a bit of a wanderer across locations, so no fixed work/social group.

Yes

I have worked at Southeastern for 21 years - I truly believe that it is a great place to work. There are opportunities for development if you want them and they do look after their people.

Once you join you are part of the railway family and will find it hard to leave.
