Leadership and Management development includes blending principles and models with practical guidance and opportunities to practise.
Management and leadership programmes are often designed to run over a period of months with a series of face to face workshops involving presentation, discussion, group exercises and individual activities. As such they are highly interactive and rely on a commitment of participation.
Drama based learning is often incorporated to enhance skills transferability and embedding. Evaluation of the programme is integral to the design, as are mechanisms for individual and organisational action planning.
The programme is usually complemented with a coaching service for individuals to identify, discuss and develop key areas of importance to the organisation and them personally.
