Leadership Development Organisations are recognising that to survive and thrive in today's fast moving marketplace, it's no longer enough just to manage day-to-day work. Organisations need to be doing the right things, at the right time, with the right people. Most importantly they need to be properly led by key leaders, so it's no surprise that 75% of UK organisations are now investing in some form of leadership development (CIPD Survey 2005). We'll help you to identify the leadership skills needed in your people and organisation, and design a development programme to meet them. Training, action learning, coaching, mentoring and other approaches could all be used and our unique Positive Organisational Politics day is consistently popular in our programmes. Contact us about your situation - we'd like to help. One in four UK Managers are rated as 'bad' or 'dreadful' by their staff, according to recent research published in Personnel Today. This maybe because managers get few opportunities to learn the crucial skills needed to manage others. We'll work with you to change that, by agreeing the skills or changes your managers need, then designing a development programme to meet them. Training, action learning, coaching, mentoring and other approaches could all be used. We can help you set management competencies for your organisation, or use UK standards already available. We can also help with accredited programmes through the Institute of Leadership and Management to provide national recognition of your managers' achievements. Contact us about your situation - we'd like to help. In today's busy workplace, we bring strangers together into short or long-term teams to run projects, increase sales and implement change. We expect team members to hit the ground running, work effectively and get on superbly while doing it, and are somehow surprised when they don't. Sound familiar? It doesn't have to be. We can help turn teams from dysfunctional groups into high performing units that add real 'bottom line' benefit to your organisation. Our Team Development programmes cover topics such as communication skills and team working through to process design and change management. We're also ASET Accredited Facilitators to use 'Teamscapes' outdoor activities in our programmes. Contact us about your situation - we'd like to help. Facilitation is definitely not training. If you're wrestling with a business problem, ineffective teams, unclear strategy or a list of similar business issues, you'll know the problem far better than we do. So we definitely won't offer you some quick fix without understanding the issues in your organisation. What we can do is offer a clean and impartial approach, backed with a range of skills, to unblock your progress and get you moving forward. Rest assured we'll ask lots of questions to confirm what you want to achieve so we can offer a clear proposal. We'll work with your people to produce some realistic solutions, tackling as many or as few issues as you like across short or long term projects. Contact us about your situation - we'd like to help. 'I just wanted to extend a formal note of thanks and recognition for the help that Paul Bedwell has given us in following up on the Pulse Survey. He has done an excellent job in assisting us to identify the underlying issues and concerns of our staff, and starting to establish areas of focus for action planning.' Duncan Hanlon, Finance Director, Charles Schwab Europe
We've been involved in introducing schemes for individual teams, to 800 employee companies, to the new NHS system that effects 1.2 million staff in the UK. We use this depth of experience to help organisations introduce or update appraisals and competence schemes for their people. We've helped companies with process design, staff communication, documentation and project management, and we'd be pleased to help you if you're about to move into these areas. Contact us about your situation - we'd like to help. Using computer technology to offer workers more flexible learning is growing fast, and many organisations are now investing in e-learning systems. The difficulty comes with knowing where to start, and making the most of the new technology. We work with learning brokers and e-learning development companies to find or create e-learning material that's right for your organisation. We can help with choosing systems, promoting e-learning to your people, guidance on learning management systems, and practical project management. Our new modules for Communication Skills and KSF Overview for the NHS Knowledge and Skills Framework, a competence scheme for some 1.2m staff across the UK, are now going live in NHS Trusts. Because we believe that e-learning is rarely a quick fix solution to every training need, we can also work with you to create 'blended learning' solutions - mixing both e-learning with other learning methods to get the right blend for your people.
