How should I answer P1A5 (participants by role/function) as it is different from the 2022 UNICON Membership Benchmarking Survey?

Question: In the UNICON Benchmarking Survey, question P1A5 is slightly unclear. The classification of the participants provided in the question is not inclusive. There is a gap between the two categories: "Senior Manager (VP/GM)" and "Emerging Talent." "Middle managers/functional managers" fall between those two types and cannot be considered Senior Managers (VP/GM) or Emerging Talent. Last year, the same question included a different classification "C Level, Director Level, and Professional Level." Please advise what would be the best option to choose if most of our participants are professionals/middle managers.

Answer: This question was modified in 2023 in order to benchmark to the Financial Times CLO Survey. UNICON and the Financial Times are collaborating to provide gap analysis from executive education suppliers and purchasers on several metrics. Any participants below the level of senior managers should be considered Emerging Talent.
