Reflection
“The DProf by public works programme has helped me to assess my contributions to the field over the years and chart out a course for the future. The process requires a constant questioning of one’s contributions starting with the most basic question - “why is this important?” The process requires introspection and reassessing of one’s assumptions and this has inevitably led to excellent personal and professional growth.
My learning through the Doctoral process has provided me with new insights into what worked and did not work in a professional AML context. This learning will undoubtedly be reflected in my present and future AML strategy and policy contributions as well as in my future public works which will be more focused on the management of AML and leadership.
The work based learning approach is a unique one involving close and direct supervision from a member of the Institute’s core doctoral team .The interaction has been great albeit demanding in standards. Nonetheless, one looks back at the finished context statement with a sense of pride and satisfaction. The Institute’s approach to building the context statement is one which they have pioneered and which can easily be applied across industries.”
