Primary Objective
To provide the fundamentals of management training and development of leadership potential.
Our Approach
The client wished to capitalise on the output from their management development centres and to provide a structured development programme. We reviewed the data generated from the centres which highlighted areas in which development was most frequently required. Using the data we worked closely with the learning and development team, and with representatives from the across business, to generate a cohesive and integrated leadership programme. The programme, like the management centres, is attended by all newly appointed managers across the business.
