Why are we different?
Our flagship residential programmes aren't like traditional courses
- Unequal learning: We assess learning at the level of the individual
so we believe in "unequal learning" not "sheep dip". We
don't squeeze all participants towards a simplified set of standard learning
outcomes, but instead we allow people to explore their own needs and
capabilities. This means everyone - even your very best talent - is stretched
to learn and grow
- Co-designed in real-time: We co-design aspects of our programmes in
real-time with participants to make things relevant and recognisable. By asking
people to 'take the lead' at various times, we create a microcosm or simulation
of your organisation's leadership culture from which participants can learn
- Integrated tutor team: Our integrated, multi-disciplinary tutor team
stays with the participants right through the learning programme in a way
unmatched by a more traditional modular 'parade of experts' approach to
programme delivery
- Relevant: We integrate the development of skills and behaviours
("what to do" and "how to do it"), rather than treating
them separately, to maximise the relevance of both
- Challenging: We deliver transformative development for your people,
not interesting 'talking heads' of expert lectures. Participants are obliged to
immerse themselves in the issues, and challenge themselves to develop, rather
than simply sit back and listen
- Enjoyable: We create an enjoyable and meaningful experience on the programme helping participants establish a close network amongst themselves and fix their learning by associating it with a memorable event
Who trusts us
In addition to working with 'blue chip' corporate clients and professional service firms directly, the members of our tutor team all have experience teaching on behalf of leading business schools for their corporate programmes in the UK and overseas, including London Business School, Henley Business School, INSEAD, the Centre for Creative Leadership, and others.
We also have extensive international experience as former management consultants working at board-level in large multi-national corporations and the public sector, and many of us have worked in industry too. The backgrounds of team members include Accenture, Arthur D. Little, CRA International, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LEK Consulting, BP International, British Aerospace, and Shell Chemicals.
Our partnership style of working means we don't promise what we can't or shouldn't deliver. Reliability is at the heart of everything that we do.
