Our Management Development Programme is slightly different to our other programmes in that it’s made up of some core elements, with a few specially chosen ‘additions’ that allow us to tailor-make a programme specific to what you need.

We have a formula that we have used in other interventions that will give you an idea of what can be done.

Mindfood sessions: Short, ‘digestible’ sessions that give people enough to ponder on, over time.

This is where the main content of the programme comes in. It’s quite a blended approach, as the knowledge sessions are in the form of short talks, some 5-hour workshops and some long-term integrated programmes within programmes.

The purpose of these pieces is to deepen people’s insight into themselves, the people around them, and the impact they have on the people around them.

Blog: A blog around retention and management issues to help consolidate learning in a transparent way.

This will keep your genXers engaged in a positive way and allow for even the most junior employees to comment in an open forum for internal communication, across all levels of the business.

Telecon ‘Book Clubs’: On site cappucino sessions to generate debate around raised issues.

There are various books and CD’s included in the toolkit. We encourage learning groups or ‘book clubs’ that are either virtual (telecoms), or physical cappuccino sessions where people talk through their insights from the different sources they access.

Coaching: One-on-one coaching to integrate learning and sustainability for senior and middle management layers.

In this layer of the Management Development Programme managers of others will go through a half day programme on the ‘First Principles’ of coaching. If middle management are able to become regular coaches then the personal development of their people will extend beyond the ‘classroom’ and into their every-day working environment.

Toolkit: Valuable tools to help gain insight and move forward.

This mix of books, CD’s and profiling tools appeals to different learning styles. It’s specifically designed to give middle management tools for self insight, self management and insight into their teams and how to get the best out, for them.
