Kristine Clemmensen-Rotne
MSc Industrial Engineering and Management
Started the Graduate Programme in September 2017
I joined the Graduate Programme because I wanted to be challenged to the limits of my own capabilities, and thereby expand my knowledge and skills in the process. I am born curious, so to me it is a big gift to be able to experience so many parts of the living organism that makes up a big company like William Demant.
Has it been challenging so far then? Oh my, yes indeed. But it has also always been a fantastic learning environment, where I get to try to the best of my abilities. And if that turns out not to be adequate, then the safety net kicks in. Help is always within reach and lessons are learned from each experience.
During my various projects in the Graduate Programme I have worked with almost all the different stages - from the early development to the final production and distribution of our products. Through this work I have had the chance to understand the different values of the different teams around the organization, and why it can be difficult, but also necessary, to make ends meet.
To illustrate my point; Yes, we do need to be first to market, but we sure also need to ensure that our quality is top of the line, every time. For me, it is highly exciting to have been part of making such ends come together in a big and complex organization like William Demant.
