Senior teams face challenges one course will not cover

A new executive team. A restructure. An inspection. A strategy that everyone needs to get behind. Each of these needs different expertise at different points.

So instead of relying on one trainer, we bring in specialist facilitators and design a programme that fits what your leaders actually need. Then we organise all of it for you, around your diaries.

Looking for a one-day course instead? See our Management Skills for Emerging Managers course.

Questions senior teams ask us

How is this different from a management course?

A course covers one subject in one day. A programme is designed around your organisation’s strategy and brings in different specialists at different points: workshops, away days and coaching, planned as one joined-up journey for your senior team.

Who facilitates the sessions?

We choose facilitators to match your programme, from leadership and strategy to public sector finance, executive coaching and professional actors for scenario work, and brief each one on your organisation before they arrive.

Where is the programme delivered?

At your premises, at an away-day venue or a mix of both, booked around your leaders’ diaries. Programmes can run as a single intensive or be spread over several months.

How much does a programme cost?

Every programme is scoped and priced individually. We start with a free, confidential scoping call and follow up with a written proposal, with no obligation.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Senior-team development often touches on sensitive topics, so delivery is discreet and progress reports go to your sponsors only.
