"When I began my most recent job at a family-run shop, the owners operated based on trust and didn't have a loss prevention plan. I suggested we install cameras inside the store to deter anyone from stealing. So far, we have seen a 56% decline in the overall loss."

When offering suggestions on making changes to an organization, it is crucial to have a full view of the big picture before volunteering any suggestions. So make sure whatever example you offer your interviewer showcases the careful thought and research you put into your idea, and highlight the value of your contributions. Choose an example that benefitted the company, your teams, or the big picture and not your own professional career.
