Weeknote template 5: ‘My DDC experience so far’
Reuse this template to help you write a weeknote if you’ve not written one in a while.
This is a template to help you write a weeknote about your experience of the Deloitte Digital Connect programme so far. It focuses on writing about how its been working out what to focus on for the programme, via your routefinder document.
It will help you reflect and share your experience with others in your organisation and on the programme.
The template contains lots of bullet pointed ideas. You don’t have to use every idea. Pick out the most important things you want to say. It’s OK to write about things on the programme that have worked for you and that haven’t.
The minimum you will end up writing is 8 sentences. You can write more than that if it helps you reflect or you’ve just got more to say!
