focusing effort on the business plan ... “The Leadership Development Programme has enabled our leaders to make a more effective contribution to the delivery of our business plan. It has produced a marked improvement in working relationships and collaboration within and across departmental teams, and harnessed individual competitiveness as a team strength to overcome problems and drive forward improvements.” Peter Mills, Operations Manager |
improved leader confidence … “We had been looking for something to help support our team leaders in their first-line manager roles, and the underpinning knowledge the programme provided was exactly what was needed. Our candidates each had varying levels of experience, but all found the course content totally relevant to their responsibilities and are now more confident in their leadership skills.” Lesley Morgan, Training &
Development Manager |

a catalyst for culture change ... “The Leadership Programme was the catalyst that enabled us to drive through a major programme of improvements and re-focus our business. By giving our team co-ordinators relevant skills and qualifications, we have developed a new company-wide attitude that has created new opportunities and greater flexibility. Output per employee has increased and we’ve seen gains throughout the business, from cutting lead times to removing nearly one million feet of storage space. The bottom line is – we now concentrate on making chain to customer demand.” Steve Blount, Works Manager |
