Management Development Programmes

Management Development

The contribution made by every employee is a business-critical issue. In today's competitive market place, organisations that are able to produce more output with fewer resources (and this includes employee input) are likely to be successful and more profitable for longer.

This interaction between the business and its staff is often referred to as employee engagement, and there is a direct link between positive engagement and improved business performance.

If an employee is to exceed basic competence and contribute to their fullest, they need to feel valued, supported and fully-resourced. Management Development Programmes can often be a key step in converting human potential into improved organisational effectiveness. However, good Management Development is not the "sheep dip" approach of putting everybody through generic, off-the-shelf classroom training - it is a focused, structured and timely activity to develop the knowledge, skills and competencies of the right people at a relevant point in their career.

In general, a Management Development Programme should:

Be driven by clearly articulated business needs and informed by feedback processes, such as Performance Management or Development Centres
Be linked directly and clearly to the attainment of organisational goals and therefore appreciated as a way of improving business performance
Be fully integrated with the employees' working environment
Encompass a variety of formalised learning events, not just class-room training
Dovetail into a post-training environment that consolidates learning
Recognise the Coaching role of line management
Promote a learning environment in which feedback is expected, sought and given
Be evaluated throughout its lifecycle
Deliver results which can be quantified in terms of performance output
