Community members are finding value, recommend the community.
A good set of resources, links and people in one place
A link to other IBM managers, and a true feeling of
community.
As a new manager, it has
been a great place to
learn and gain new
insights
I am learning from other IBM managers ,
especially from their personal experiences.
This is by far one of the best communities I have seen in IBM, where people have a
genuine interest to share, learn and network. Great events, learning activities and
community building. we're share there are great efforts behind it but it surely pays
off!
The manager calls and forums
have been very helpful.
