Management Development

Management Development Programme

The Management Development Programme is designed to build a comprehensive toolkit which can be used by participants who are either in a management role currently or are aiming to be in a management position in the future.

Providing insights, techniques and tools; the programme provides participants with the time and space to challenge their own ways of working, improve overall performance and develop approaches which add value to their business.

Ideal for

The programme has been developed based upon an analysis of business needs and what is needed for the region’s managers to deliver success to those businesses. This programme is the perfect development companion for:

New managers or those about to become managers
Managers of systems or process
Managers of people and teams
Experienced managers who want to develop core competencies
Experienced managers who want to tap into new thinking and approaches
Managers delivering change management within their business
Managers seeking new ways to drive efficiency and performance

Programme Content

The programme can be completed as a 12-month learning journey to create a holistic and immersive development experience.

As a new option to the programme, each module can also be taken individually in order to focus on the learner’s specific development needs.

We recommended taking the full course to gain the full benefits of the programme.

The programme consists of 12 whole day sessions – each covering a management theme or topic, including:

What is a Manager? Introduction to management and the manager’s role
Using your time effectively and efficiently
Communication and delivery of the right messages at the right times
Styles and dynamics which create a good team
Getting the most from meetings
Delivering a great presentation which gets the right results
Building commercial awareness and acumen
Preparation and successful management of change
Stakeholder and relationship mapping and management
How to run and deliver a project well
Getting the best from your team and helping them to perform better
Coach and develop your teams and people

Delivery and Environment

The programme is designed to stretch and challenge participants by taking them out of their business. Programmes run with participants from different backgrounds, experiences and industries – creating a safe and diverse environment where individuals can test and apply learning and develop together. Many of the groups go on to form bonds following the completion of each programme and continue to develop together.

The programme will take place via in-person workshops and in a group format. Our next cohort starts in September 2024, however participants can also join individual modules on the cohort currently running.

Testimonials

The MDP course was probably the best training and development course that I have completed in my career to date. Each session had a distinct purpose to it and I feel that I have been given an extensive tool-kit to help me become a better manager. The activities completed each month were perfectly pitched, and were engaging throughout.”
Jennifer Stevens, ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions UKI

The MDP gives you an opportunity to learn new things about yourself. The opportunity to sit with others and discuss work life and experience is a valuable tool. The content of the course is set up at a level that is easy to take in. Even if you don’t carry on to be a manager the course highlights what you should expect from managers in your business.
