Outdoor management development programmes - leading performance development consultancy with the knowledge and capability to assess, enhance and expand your strategies for organisational development by focusing on your most important asset - people. It's important to ensure that the benefits of outdoor experiences are properly identified and analysed. All of our programmes achieve the right balance of experience and reflection to ensure the relation of learning back to work situations.

We have years of experience in providing clearly focused, relevant and rewarding development solutions to managers at all levels across a range of industry sectors including the media, manufacturing, education and IT, both in the UK and throughout the rest of Europe.

Personal Development begins with a knowledge and understanding of oneself. At the core of all development initiatives is the need for self-knowledge. Developing the potential of the individual is fundamental to our work. All development starts at the self, and then leads to how we behave in teams and as leaders in an organisation. As people understand themselves better they increase in confidence. This benefits other areas such as working relationships, delegation skills and decisiveness.

It can be either the sole focus of a programme or can be combined with other aims into a broader development programme.

Leadership Development programmes are custom designed to respond to the needs of managers in your company, providing them with the opportunity to assess and develop their leadership ability. Leaders make things happen, which is vital in today's uncertain and changing business climate. People who can motivate and lead others are extremely valuable and should be encouraged - at all levels of a company.

Good leadership requires a range of skills, methods and styles and is an essential quality for any manager in any organisation or department. These skills, methods and styles can be learned.

Through a combination of practical project leadership, theoretical input and review, participants explore the critical processes of leadership, and then form an action plan to take what they have learned back into the workplace.
We then use this information to draw conclusions and formulate plans and strategies to use this knowledge in the working environment.

In summary, the process goes through various stages:

• consultation - you share your vision, strategies and obstacles with us. We listen to you in order to gain a clear understanding of your situation and the business context in which you operate.
• co-creation - we design and develop appropriate development strategies that respond to your vision and your needs. By doing this in close consultation with you, we ensure that you remain in control and receive the service most suited to your requirements.
• delivery - we work with you to deliver the process.
• follow-up, support and evaluation - we review experiences, relate them to working practices and transfer this learning to the workplace.

Through a process of dialogue, individual/groupwork and projects we stimulate your people to believe in themselves and their capabilities, broadening their understanding through challenging their thinking, making them face the consequences of their behaviour and identify their potential, therefore enhancing their capacity to deliver in the workplace, as individuals and in teams.
