HR Directors, Operational or Service Directors, Training &

Development Managers from private, public and third sector

Why is this important?

"Learning & Development (L&D) teams are under pressure to

make significant reductions in training costs. At the same time,

organisations recognise a business imperative to continue

training, to maintain workforce skills"

“Cutting training budgets can be seen as a quick way to

save money during a recession, but now is precisely the

time to keep investing in the skills and talents of people. 

The skills of an organisation’s workforce are its best

guarantee of future prosperity and the best investment

a business can make in these challenging times.”

Employment and Skills

"I would advise that cutting training is a poor business

strategy, particularly as our survey also found a fifth

of all sector vacancies were hard to fill due to a lack

of skilled applicants.

Against the backdrop of increasingly tough times, the

Government and LSC is promoting the Skills Pledge and has

made available an additional £350 million to help employers

who make the 'Pledge' and access the support of a

Train to Gain skills broker at no cost to their business.

What value do you place on your teams' knowledge and

organisational memory? 

Research shows that organisations find it easier to strategically

plan for the future when they are clear about where they have

been in the past.  Upon registration, you will receive this FREE report explaining the importance of reflection and how to undertake reflective practice, a vital skill for anyone in an organisation that wants to improve services and performance.

Extra #2

How much do you pay for your staff to attend external/in-house training courses?  How much do they really want to change the

status quo and put ideas into practice?

Four years of research, beta testing and validation means that

we now have a solution - the Situational Knowledge Profiler - a unique attitudinal development tool to help you put your team

in the right attitude to learn and accept/undertake change.  Participants who sign up for our masterclass receive FREE

access to this tool to try it for themselves and their team.

Learning in a masterclass is all very well, but what happens

when you go back to work?  How easy is it to maintain the

momentum and put into practice what you have learned?

After attending this masterclass you will be offered unlimited

one-to-one personal coaching for three months - alone

this is worth in excess of £3500, but you pay NOTHING as it is included in your masterclass fee.  This gives you the chance to apply the techniques, see the results and reflect upon your practice.
