More and more organisations are focusing development programmes on overhauling their approach to leadership – establishing leadership competences based closely on business needs, creating measurable competence frameworks, and supporting staff to think and act in their capacity as leaders, and much of our recent work has delivered precisely this.

But development programmes can be designed to support organisational development in many different dimensions and directions. Elements of recent contracts have touched, for example, on :

	recognising, embracing and managing stakeholder relations
	creating a coaching practice and culture
	revising organisational approach to performance management
	strategic planning
	financial systems and processes
	giving and receiving feedback

In the service of our development work, we offer :

	the full complement of assessment tools (including online and print 360°, assessment centres and a wide range of psychometric testing - MBTI, FIRO-B and others)
	focused skill development workshops eg strategic thinking, effective partnerships, diversity, creativity and more
	executive coaching and the creation of coaching and mentoring programmes
	facilitation for awaydays, team development, strategic planning or communications workshops ; or in the form of Action Learning Sets
	full business support services
