At a knowledge-driven management and development consulting firm, proficiency in writing is a crucial skill.

Rageeb Kibria, Senior Consultant at Deloitte Canada and a former senior member of the LightCastle Partners team conducted a session on November 1st, 2023, where he spoke about various frameworks to identify opportunities for change and growth, understand business chemistry, and use key tools for personal and professional development. He explained how to set growth targets and introduce standardized tools to streamline processes and delivery.
Standardization reduces the need to think about how to do things, allowing more focus on execution. The session also covered the importance of understanding Business Chemistry, which involves recognizing personality types and improving relationships. This knowledge helps you understand what clients and colleagues want, their thought processes, and how to approach them effectively, adapting your work pattern and presentations to suit their preferences.
