Learning & Development Case Studies

Brief Case Studies

Below are just a few examples of the range of work we have done.

Residential Programmes

In each of the following examples, the CEO or MD knew that there was a powerful need to develop the people-management expertise of their Board colleagues and their senior and middle managers.

Detailed discussions took place with them and tailored programmes were devised and delivered to meet their needs. In all but one of the examples, the CEO or MD personally participated in the Programme along with his fellow Directors.

* The Information sector

A series of three three-day modules for one of the UK’s market-leaders in the Information Sector.

These were geared to enhancing leadership and management capability across the Company's Board and management team. Some 35 people attended over a five-year period, each participating in the three-part programme.

* Publishing

A series of five Residential Programmes, each involving three week-long modules over a period of 18 months, and each attended by 12 directors and senior managers.

* Metal manufacturing

A series of three four-day Residential Programmes for the Directors and senior managers of the UK subsidiary of an international metal manufacturer.

* Aerospace

Eight three-day modules over a five-year period involving the Board and the management team of a major supplier to the aerospace sector. Some 30 Directors and Managers attended over the period.

* Publishing and Event-management

A series of four three- or four-day modules, run over a two-year period, for the Director and Senior Managers of a fast-growing Publishing and Event-management company. Eight people attended the four modules over the period.

What our clients say

From 2005 to the present, Graham has provided executive coaching for eight Directors or Divisonal MDs at CAP and, until 2012, at Emap Insight.

Additionally, Rupert and members of his team at CAP attended a series of bespoke, residential development programmes, covering Team-building, Influencing Skills, Achieving Personal Impact, Motivation and Coaching, Delivering Difficult Messages and Leadership. These have been run by Graham and members of his team and have covered some 50 people - including Directors and a wide cross-section of managers, together with members of the sales team - in 12 separate modules.

Rupert's comment:

"Graham does three specific things exceptionally well:

1. He listens and questions to understand why the situation is as it is - sometimes deep-rooted;

2. He helps you/the team identify and shape the desired end-state and why that is important;

3 He works with you/the team on that journey with humility, purpose and confidence.

In short, if you are looking for a powerful impact on performance, call Graham. Job done!"
