Being brilliant at your job gets you promoted. It doesn’t teach you how to manage the people who used to sit next to you.
82% of UK managers step up without any formal management training (CMI, 2023). Promoted over a ‘magic weekend’…then good luck!
Our bespoke management development programmes are built around your managers, your business and the problems you actually need solved. We start with a diagnostic, design around what it tells us, and deliver in short, sharp sessions that fit around the day job.
In the usual course of events, if you’re exceptional at the job you’re doing, you’ll likely be promoted into a role where you manage others. Because you’ll be able to help them excel too…right?
We’ve conducted hundreds of diagnostics in FTSE 250 organisations, and we can confidently tell you that even though someone may be a top performer in a role, taking on a management position requires new thinking and skills.
Being a manager is tough. Being the buffer between frontline staff and a company’s senior leaders, a manager needs to be able to understand, translate, organise, and motivate people to achieve more, better, and faster, together. All this while juggling their own workload, maintaining team harmony, and satisfying competing demands from on high.
We’re here to fill the gaps in a manager’s knowledge about how to grow people, drive performance for the business and implement necessary changes in the organisation simultaneously.
Our work with Keyloop won Best Management & Leadership Development at the Learning Excellence Awards 2025, plus Bronze at the UK Employee Experience Awards 2024. Nice for the trophy cabinet. Better still, proof our programmes change how managers behave.
Drawing on our widespread diagnostic research into management behaviours our expert team will assess your company’s needs and challenges and craft a bespoke management development programme for you.
Our unique programme design approach is based on our proven learning methodology, backed by behavioural science and psychology.
Depending on what the diagnostic shows, programmes often draw on our coaching skills and team climate work too.
We realise that managers are busy, so we structure our learning delivery to meet operational requirements. Distilling learning into short sessions also has the advantage of allowing participants to be more focused and less likely to be overwhelmed with information. We find this supports both retention and long-term behavioural change.
Sometimes competent managers are enough. Sometimes you need more: people who can set direction, lead change and hold a team together when things get messy. We skip the stale theory and work on real scenarios from your business, building the mindsets, skills and behaviours your managers need now and next.
Cancer Research UK wanted a management development offer that cut through the noise of a busy learning ecosystem. We co-designed a core skills curriculum with their team: 180-minute topic modules, priming activities and digital toolkits, tested and refined before rolling out through their LMS.
Our management development training sessions offer quick, impactful learning for managers looking to upskill and lead with confidence. Take the first step towards better management and leave the lottery behind!
