Candidate Success Story: Patricia Murphy, Irish Prison Service.

We are delighted to share Patricia's CIPD Advanced level journey having completed the Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management with DMS Ireland in June. Patricia outlines some of the key reasons why she decided to embark on on the CIPD Advanced Level, how the qualification helped in her role in the organisation as well as how the organisation has benefited. Patricia also explains how the qualification ultimately helped in a recent senior management selection process.

“The qualification helped me to look beyond the immediate operational issue and consider the wider strategic and organisational impact of decisions. It strengthened my skills in critical thinking, stakeholder engagement, change management and evidence-based decision-making."
