Developing Leadership at CFS Management Ltd [Hover over to pause]
The brief was to design a Manager’s Toolkit for over 1,000 managers across the organisation. In order to diagnose the specific needs of the managers, an Instep induction period was scheduled to enable the project team to spend time researching the organisation to understand its culture, values, business challenges and what the current level of skill and capabilities were across the management community. It was also an opportunity to identify our client’s outcomes and success measures (ROI). Once this information had been gathered, we were able to start work on the technical design of the project, based on our findings, which indicated that the toolkit needed to be a 4 module programme. The team presented its first draft for the toolkit to the programme sponsor at a half-way point in the design, and were told we had exceeded expectations. Stage 3 of the project was to involve the line managers through briefings in order to ensure they had an understanding of how important their roles were in the transfer of learning, and ensuring that they were creating opportunities for their team to embed their learning. Stage 4 involved the delivery which we were asked to do as the design work had been so successful. This involved an intensive two-week pilot programme which we used to test the design with selected delegates. Final amends were then made on the toolkit before large scale rollout.

It aims to give them the core skills to lead teams with skill and confidence. This is an eight-day, four module programme delivered over a four month period. The ‘Inspire’ programme, for existing managers, aims to get managers to inspire teams and all those around them through visible leadership. This programme has a core two-day module with five optional skills development sessions available.
