PROGRAMME OVERVIEW 

WHAT WE DO:

We deliver a comprehensively tailored management development programme for front-line and middle managers. This programme is specifically designed so that the individual can get the best out of themselves as well as their teams. 

The complete development programme encompasses a pre-training preparation stage, delivery of three (3) training modules, a completion certificate and presentation ceremony, along with coaching and support for a 12 month period. Managers may choose to partake in all aspects of the programme, or select to attend specific modules that meet an immediate business need. 

AIM:

To develop leadership and management skills that enable greater levels of customer service through delegation and empowerment, building and maintaining highly effective teams, communication and managing changing environments.

OBJECTIVES:

By the end of this development programme participants will be able to: 

  • Better understand the key motivational drivers that determine how each of us behave
  • Apply different leadership styles to a changing and challenging environment
  • Identify what makes up a high performing team
  • Maximise their effectiveness and capabilities to get the most from their team
  • Identify opportunities and implement actions that improve customer service levels and supply chain integration
  • Communicate more effectively
  • Understand the importance of continued learning and development
  • Bring a different level of thinking to problem solving and solution development.  

INITIATION:

Upon initiating contact with our programme participants, they will undertake a 360 o Feedback Survey in preparation for thr first stage of training.

The participant will receive feedback on his/her performance from a selection of three peers, direct subordinates, managers/supervisors as well as completing for themselves. This feedback is extremely useful for self-awareness and allows further personal development plans to be put in place. 

TRAINING DELIVERY:

The complete course is made up of five (5) days total, divided into three (3) Modules. Modules A & B are both 2 day sessions, with Module C being a single day. Further details on these Modules are provided in the following pages.   

Modules A & B are designed to be residential as it incorporates after-dinner activities such as team games or movies. However if you prefer it can be run as non-residential but does lose a certain element of learning and interaction 

The full programme is delivered over a maximum period of six months, but can be delivered over a shorter or longer duration to suit individual business requirements. 

Upon completion of the training modules, an afternoon or evening session will be arranged (at our client's convenience) to allow for the completion of the programme by participants, followed by a short ceremony where certificates are presented to the course participants. 

ONGOING DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT:

Following the completion of each training module, we obtain course feedback and provide mentoring and coaching as required. We recognise that it is vital for the ongoing development of the participant for support within the organisation to be continued, and also the use of an independent and qualified coach or mentor can assist the process. 

Over a twelve (12) month period, as a part of our standard service, we provide monthly emails to each participant, and follow-up face-to-face meetings on a three (3), six (6) and twelve (12) monthly basis. This provides an opportunity for the participant to review their respective development actions and to seek coaching or advice as necessary.
