Training
We began our training programmes in 2005, in response to client requests for training in cross-cultural business approaches, management training, personal effectiveness and other skills such as contract management. We created our six brochures of training courses initially during 2006-2008 and have updated them since and added further courses.
We have a range of training courses, ranging from business processes, such as developing a business plan through to business management, which includes courses on, for example, developing the sales and marketing capabilities in a company and contract management for senior managers. We also cover a range of personal effectiveness modules focused on:
Business development Business analysis and business processes Interpersonal effectiveness Leadership skills Improving the performance of executive teams Presentation skills Staff engagement.Our courses on succession planning and performance management cross some of these boundaries, but are a successful part of our focus on the individual.
We have trained people in the US, Europe and the UK, and trained people from India, Singapore, and S Africa. We generally present courses in English but have associates able to train in French and German.
Our main customers are commercial companies, some of whom are focused on the public sector. For example we recently trained the second level of management of a commercial companys programme delivering services to the national schools inspection service in the UK on personal effectiveness and personal development.
