We have a ten-year track record of effective management development for all levels of managers, from Directors to first line managers.

Our programmes can be as short as a half-day executive seminar for senior staff, through to a large scale accredited qualification programme spread over many months, with (for example) open learning workbooks supported by regular tutorial workshops and on-line tutor support.

Our associate team is highly experienced and qualified across the whole spectrum of management topics, such as:

  • Appraisal
  • Change Management
  • Coaching & Mentoring
  • Communication skills
  • Customer Service
  • Discipline & Grievance
  • Equal Opportunities & Diversity
  • Influencing and Negotiation skills
  • Interviewing skills
  • Personal Effectiveness
  • Presentation skills
  • Project Management
  • Recruitment and Selection
  • Sales and Marketing
  • Teambuilding
  • Time Management
  • Trainer Training
  • Quality & TQM

One of our specialist areas is the use of theatre techniques to develop managers. This can take a number of different forms, such as

  • forum theatre
  • staged scenario
  • sliding doors
  • characterisations
  • role-play.

A management development programme might also use a live case study of a short production, with either actors or course members themselves providing the acting and other backstage roles.

This is a different and exciting way to develop for example:

  • project planning, monitoring and review
  • resource management
  • time management and prioritisation
  • leadership and team working
  • job design, roles and responsibilities
  • delegation
  • recruitment and selection
  • motivation skills
  • target and objective setting
  • presentation skills
  • effective meeting skills
  • performance appraisal
  • coaching and mentoring
  • supplier contracting and management
  • health and safety
  • personal effectiveness
