By incorporating real-world examples, Simone provided students with actionable insights into how these systems are implemented within organizations, deepening their understanding of both technical concepts and business impact. Student feedback underscored the value of the discussion, noting that the practical case studies effectively demonstrated the relevance of classroom theory to real-world scenarios.
