Management Development Seminars

Creating and Implementing Successful Strategic Plans

This course covers the vital aspects of how to create great strategic plans in an easy to follow step-by-step process.

This includes new material distilled from the successes of top global companies. Creating a great plan is of no advantage if its implementation is not successful and this is where most companies falter.

This course presents a clear route to success by highlighting critical issues, formulating workable action plans, achieving high levels of integration, growth and profitability as well as focusing on how to create and successfully implement practical strategic plans.

Developing People and Management Systems for Growth

The most important aspect in growing your company includes dynamic strategic plans as well as skilled people capable of implementing and sustaining those plans in an integrated way. Equally important, they need to perceive and act upon new opportunities quickly and effectively.

People and systems driving the company forward holistically so as to bring the strategic plans to life.

A step by step process shows what can be achieved and how it can be achieved. How to design and support new service delivery strategies. These concepts are linked to the best people management and development systems.

If you want the best possible value that your people can deliver, this programme shows the way.

Maximising Competitive Growth

Many companies want to grow, but wanting to grow does not necessarily mean knowing how to.

Discover the critical success factors in achieving maximum business impact. Modes of growth are covered; company-wide strategic overlays and specific strategies for growth are dealt with in depth, linked to the creation of winning systems and processes that can drive growth.

This is a highly cost-effective programme focusing on critical issues to avoid dissipation of energy, allowing you to implement world-class systems, to anticipate opportunities, and to become dramatically more competitive.

Maximising Middle Management

Middle management has long been the ‘Cinderella’ of business, yet should be their most valuable asset. The short lived downsizing fad attempted to remove middle management and was a disastrous failure. This programme looks at what middle management can achieve with good skills training and how they can become strategic players enabling companies to double the value of this particular management team.

The programme contains numerous self-assessment guides, does not contain the usual “feeling good about you” cosmetics, and has real-world processes and practices that show you the way to creating highly effective strategic middle management.

After implementation you will ask yourselves why you didn't do this before!

Top 20 Best Practices for Managing People

This course contains the best people management practices of highly successful global companies that have been internationally proven and are backed by evidence based management.

By implementing this programme you can raise your people to operate at the highest levels of operational performance and so achieving lower operational costs.

This is a concentrated programme showing very clearly how to put into practice the frequently heard claim that “our people are our best assets”. Unfortunately this is not always in practice and more often than not staff are regarded as a variable cost and not as assets.

This programme is based upon principles companies can apply, showing the route to creating an agile, learning organisation with high levels of people commitment and a responsive culture. A highly cost-effective organisation making use of Best practices distilled from the world’s best systems.

HR as a Strategic Player

This course shows how HR can play a strategic role and add to the bottom line in more than twenty significant ways.

The intervention reveals how to assess the implications of current and upcoming corporate goals and strategies, and to diagnose and create the HR functions and capacity to support them.

This is a step by step implementation programme for creating a fully-fledged cash generating strategic HR department as opposed to just a cost-centre.

The benefit being to build high-performance operational levels and high resilience. Creating a learning organisation with the ability to respond quickly to new opportunities linked to real financial advantages.

Real Leadership for Real People

Real Leadership for Real People covers critical issues exploring how the requirements of leadership in business have changed dramatically, and how they continue to change.

We then move beyond that to address the wider implications of leaders as strategists, using the best that global practice has to show us.

The central theme of the course is that of the primary characteristics of proven leadership. This is enlarged upon to cover what can be achieved by applying these characteristics.

In short, Real Leadership for Real People is about genuine leadership for today and tomorrow.

Developing Above Average People

Every company would like to have above average people. There are numerous courses available on how to recruit the best people which are only useful if they are “out there”. Above average people constitute less than ten percent of the population, so what you are looking for may well not exist.

It makes far more sense to develop and correctly manage the people you already have in ways that allow them to operate at above average levels.

This programme translates the very best of global practice, analysed by top practical academics into tangible actions that will dramatically enhance delivery in your company.

It is not a “be soft on people” approach; everyone has to operate at above average levels and details the route to the only sustainable competitive advantage we have which is that of Developing People. China – What Can Be Learned From An Enigma?

We know what China is doing, but do we know how China is doing it?

This is a half day to one day presentation that unravels some of the mysteries by showing that China is not simply about cheap labour and provides us with valuable lessons that can help us grow our companies and our economy.

It examines the routes to high growth achieved by leading Asian countries and distils the best common practices as a valuable guide.

This provides an understanding that will give you a dramatically effective competitive edge both in operating more competitively as well as safeguarding the organisation from being less susceptible to strong competition.
