OUR CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
DATA & ANALYTICAL TALENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Data is a vital component in modern business, talent is in demand and the role data and analytical professionals have to play in organisations and our society now and in future years is key. Whilst technical development for these specialists is a well trodden path, supporting them outside technical skillsets is not as common. This experiential Development Programme has been created to help people improve their performance outside their technical skillset and as such make them more powerful themselves, in your organisation and in business and society generally.
FINANCE SPECIALIST DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Our Finance Specialist Development Programme is suitable for those working in the corporate finance sector or those with finance backgrounds working in people centric businesses. For many of these people technical development is a well trodden path as it is in data and analytics. Supporting people in the so called softer skills however is often neglected. With relationships so important in modern business these skills are vital to success. This experiential programme helps your people identify areas for development and improve their performance, consequently improving the performance of your business.

Last update - March 2024.
“I have always been a little dubious about coaching as it has never really worked for me or landed as effectively as I would have wanted. This all changed when I started to work with Ade, it was all about what I needed to hear and understand, not just running through a set of well-worn ideas, and this was key.
The whole programme made a big difference for me, and Ade’s style was just perfect for what I needed. Open and challenging questions which made me realise a lot of things I already knew and a lot that I didn’t. I honestly could not recommend this more highly, I have grown and got better and what I do, how I do it and how I manage myself through this. I think everyone would benefit from what Ade brings and the way he does it.”
