Integrated Management Development Programme

Integrated and flexible solutions for your organisation


An integrated approach tailored to your organisation

=mc offers you an integrated approach to management development. We can take you through the entire process of establishing what your organisational needs are and design flexible learning programmes to link your training to sophisticated performance management strategies.

 

 

=mc have helped to develop our managers and directors at Affinity - everything from their leadership, influence and change implementation. We're starting to see a real difference here in both individual and team performance and owe part of that to =mc's very challenging and empowering approach.

Learning clusters & modules

Our programmes normally draw upon eight core clusters. You can mix and match these to suit your needs:

  • Communication: from influencing skills to presentation skills and negotiations
  • Personal effectiveness: from time management to problem solving
  • People performance: from handling poor performance to appraisal techniques
  • Leadership: how to motivate, inspire and direct staff energies and talents
  • Projects: from building project teams to using project planning tools such as PEST, Gantt and work breakdown structures
  • Organisational flexibility: from change management to creating a learning culture
  • Planning: from strategic planning to business planning
  • Creativity and innovation: how to create a positive culture through to knowledge management

A typical programme might involve 3x3 day modules:

RNLI has made significant investment in staff development – it’s something the organisation is absolutely committed to. We’ve used =mc’s management development programme for some time now and results have been far-reaching and tangible. We’ve been very impressed with the programme =mc designed and delivered for our frontline and middle managers and have already seen positive changes across the organisation. =mc were able to tailor exactly the kind of training we needed, with flexible delivery, whilst respecting the culture and policies here at the RNLI.

Over the years I have attended many innovative and creative training programmes run by highly respected training companies and facilitators. =mc’s programme was the most enjoyable and informative programme I have attended to date.

=mc is leading the way in training delivery - they are definitely one of the best providers we use. Their approaches are truly inspirational, practical and address real and current challenges in leadership. We receive consistently high feedback from staff - the programmes help participants to start the journey of releasing and developing their potential and encourage them to put learning into practice.
