The creative navigation exercise helped me in terms of the way in which you go about producing your work. It proved that 90% of the time you're going in the wrong direction, taking different routes to attempt in getting an answer, yet you will eventually land with the same answer.

Other exercises included lateral thinking. This shows how to think outside the box - just because you've been given a scenario in a particular method, doesn't mean you can't go about receiving the result in a complete different way.

Another pointer that I feel helped in terms of out essay is 'Navigation by asking around'. Asking better questions instead of sticking to what you know and what has previously proved to work, doesn't mean you can't try another way/ask different questions to get another angle on things.

In terms of networking, it was made apparent to me that as London is the capital and always has so much going on, there is so much networking going on. This can make it difficult to make London based companies part of my network due to the popularity and high demand for them.
