The Discovery
Making Space has been a valued client of ours since 2007 and we have partnered with them on several development programmes.
Our regular client reviews, which we put in place to ensure our clients are getting the most from the development they invest in, created an opportunity for Making Space to talk to us about what they wanted to achieve. During this conversation we identified that performance management was the next natural step in their development journey.
