For all participants, including team leaders and first-line managers, putting the learning into their specific business context is crucial to the level of lasting benefit they will derive from a management development programme. Use of specific business language and of case study examples that reflect their day-to-day management experiences at work will create a far greater impact than mere theoretical input - and will ensure a rapid and effective transfer of learning back to the workplace and the immediate application of new skills and insights.

For senior participants, including middle and senior managers, contextual wisdom is a vital attribute of the business leader. Through our team of specialists, including associates engaged in academic research where appropriate, the team at Ashorne Hill can support the development of business leaders in their acquisition of commercial, strategic and market knowledge.

Programmes can be designed to provide a platform for senior leaders to convey information and explain and win support for strategic decisions - for example to communicate a corporate message, to engender change, or to reinforce strategic direction.

Senior Management Team workshops can also be facilitated covering strategy generation and deployment; and our experienced facilitators can also support middle managers in their challenge of strategy implementation.
