What makes this offer different?

Within the Academy framework we offer choice. Each individual, having been assessed, follows their own individual development plan. Individuals are therefore able to plan, choose and commit to various activities that are designed to meet their exact individual needs. For many there will be a need for new ideas, tools or techniques. For others there will be a need for coaching and support as they move their new knowledge into consistent application and improvement in your working environment.

Who should attend?

This programme would suit those who aspire to senior roles within your organisation. Careful selection of candidates ensures that the organisation gains maximum benefit from the programme. Several clients have pointed out that the cost of the programme is less than recruiting a replacement should they leave. Several clients are now repeating the programme on an annual basis and there is considerable competition amongst middle managers to win a place on the programme.

What Academy Participants say:

“I now feel a more complete member of the organisation and can contribute more and be a better member of the team. Also I am in a position where I can develop other people in a similar way”.

“An excellent all round course that has made a great deal of difference to how I deal with issues facing me. The programme has helped me to programme, schedule and prioritise more effectively. I am more analytical and systematic in my response to problems and am more conscious of time and its value at work”.

“With a significant number of middle management involved in this programme it has improved communication across our organisation and increased understanding of individual departmental needs”.

“I have taken a lot away from the programme, learnt a lot, tried to improve in areas that needed looking at. My team have clearer goals and understanding of what I expect”.

Testimonials

“The work you have done with Robert Woodhead Ltd has been immensely valuable and contributed greatly to the success of the company. We may not have survived the recession if our new Senior Management Team had not come together as effectively as they have. The effort you have put in and your commitment has been exceptional.”

David Woodhead, Managing Director, Robert Woodhead Ltd

“The Academy was intended to develop the skills of some of our most promising employees, instilling greater confidence in our managers and their teams, thereby bringing improved results across the group. The development of our staff, and in particular our managers, is key to the long term success of the group. “We have been delighted with this programme. There has been a noticeable improvement in performance in all those who have taken part and already a number have gained promotion within the Group. It is also pleasing to see how their performance has helped others who work with them to improve. I am very, very pleased. “
