Managing Training and Development.

Introduction:
One of the biggest challenges facing our companies is attracting, deploying, developing and retaining our important people resource. In times of business turbulence, as organisations try to attract and retain the talent most likely to add value and differentiate themselves from others in their sector, developing their key people has become absolutely essential. No company can afford to lose its talented people – if it is to enhance its level of competitiveness in its market place.

This programme focuses on how we can best build your capacity to manage your talent base. We have developed this workshop to provide both people development specialists and line managers with up to date thinking and practice. It gives you the opportunity to work with the programme leader and fellow practitioners to discuss, refine and practice the skills, tools and approaches you need to make your company as a benchmark for best practice in the training and development of people.

Aim and Objectives:
The Aim of this workshop is to enable participating managers and specialists to enhance their ability to develop the people base of their organisation.

The Workshop Objectives are that by closure on Day 4, each participant will have

  • A sound awareness of and understanding of people development best practice
  • Used the workshop to learn from mini workshops and case studies, and well as from the experiences of other participants
  • Grown their personal skills in helping their people resource to develop and to enhance their contribution to their business areas
  • Produced a Development Plan for their own organisation
  • Additionally, produced an action plan which specifies the what, the how and the when of further necessary development for themselves
  • Approach and Style:
    The programme will use a combination of input on best global best practice, case studies, breakout exploration exercises and an ongoing mini project. The latter will invite participants to identify a key strategic HR issue facing their organisation and, working in small teams, address the issue to produce recommendations for action.

    Each participant will have the opportunity to relate their own level of competences to those required of world class HR practitioners.

    As with our other programmes, each participant has the opportunity for contact with the programme leader before the final balance of the programme is produced, to identify specific areas of interest and need for them

    The programme leader’s approach is stimulating, participative and based upon substantial experience in many business sectors in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the United States. Chris has over twenty five years experience in assisting clients develop their people resource.
