Before you enquire
Questions organisations raise
How do we know this will actually change behaviour, not just fill a training day?
We run a pre/post diagnostic against measures you already track — retention, engagement and decision speed, with a follow-up at 90 days.
What does the price include?
Facilitation, all delegate materials, CPD certification, and a pre-session context briefing with your team. Priced per group up to 20 delegates.
Can you tailor it to our sector and cohort?
Yes. We brief with you first and rebuild the scenarios around your mandate, markets and seniority mix. Public-sector delegations and multinational teams get different case material.
We can't release the team for a full day. What are the options?
A 3.5-hour half-day covers one framework module, or we split delivery across sessions. Self-paced online is available for teams who need to work around the diary entirely.
Do you deliver outside the UK?
Yes — across EMEA, including Gulf markets, on site or hybrid. We also host institutional learning journeys in London for visiting delegations.
What happens after we enquire?
You will hear from a programme director within one working day. We will ask about your cohort and mandate, then return a tailored proposal with dates and costs. No obligation.
