Training Methodology

We use accelerated learning techniques to embed learning and enhance recall. Every theory is immediately grounded in day to day practice so that delegates can apply everything they have learned on their return to the workplace. We use a variety of small and plenary group discussions and activities, encourage delegates to present their own ideas and challenge each other in a safe environment so that they learn not only from the instructor but through shared experience

Organizational Impact of Leadership Strategic Practical Skills

Change is a constant, and so it is imperative that as many people as possible are equipped to manage it. Delegates will return from the program with a solid grounding in how to identify areas that require change, when that change should take place and how to manage the change effectively. The effects will quickly be seen in the ease with which change is managed at any level in the organization whilst causing minimal disruption to business as usual
