Are You Ready for the Challenge?
Organisations have only one, truly sustainable competitive advantage - the initiative and innovation of its employees. Other more obvious and tangible competitive advantages such as product range or distribution agreements can be easily copied or imitated by competitors.
While applicable at all levels of an organisation the maximum leverage is gained through developing and exploiting these competitive advantages in the management team.
The Wales Management Council believes that the quality of Managers and Leaders in Wales is key driver for economic growth. The development of management and leadership skills in all sectors, and in businesses and organisations of all sizes, is therefore of critical strategic importance.
The Council has identified improving leadership in Wales as one of their main action points for 2007 and in order to fully support this t2 business solutions have teamed up with globally renowned Leadership Experts Dale Carnegie to develop a unique performance development programme for the whole management team.
The High Impact Leadership Programme is a business methodology that can positively transform an organisation while, crucially achieving between a 200% - 500% return on investment within 9 months. The programme is fully tailored to each individual organisation and encourages all participants to take on the £10k challenge.
JD Williams is one organisation that rose to the £10k challenge and they achieved fantastic cost savings of over £110k on an initial investment of £24k - a return on investment of over 450%. In addition to the ROI, there are many other benefits this programme provides, namely increased positive culture; improved morale, customer relationships and profits.
Dave Marr, Director at t2 says, “The most attractive element of this programme is the £10k challenge. As a Director myself, if someone told me that when I committed my organisation to this programme, every person involved would achieve £10k in new business or cost savings, I would consider it a ‘no-brainer.’”
“Added to this, is Dale Carnegie’s outstanding reputation having worked with private and public organisations as big as Adidas and UCI and smaller organisations such as Manchester Housing Association and NG Bailey. Their experience in leadership is unparalleled and that is why we have decided to partner with them to develop this hugely successful programme in Wales.”
Juliette Dennett, Managing Director for Dale Carnegie Training explains, “partnering with t2 business solutions was an easy decision for us, they are already the largest providers of ILM Management Training with over 500 learners. As one of the largest Welsh providers of training in Wales, we couldn’t think of a better way to take Dale Carnegie Training across the border than with t2. They had great knowledge of their economy and have some impressive clients on their books, we knew that they were the company we needed to work with to develop and deliver this programme to the Welsh market.”
