Case Study
Building management skills & confidence
Insight
Our client's Heads of Department were creating detailed departmental plans without the detail that ensured galvanising ownership and implementation. The Head was concerned that objectives in the plan weren’t happening, which in turn caused conflict and confusion amongst other staff who experienced progress at variable speed.
Solution
We were recommended on the basis of our strategy facilitation workshops elsewhere and our track record of creating interactive learning in non-academic topics like change and people management.
We consulted with the Head, alongside reviewing the strategic plan to ensure the project was tailored specifically to the school. We also assessed the current knowledge level of the HODs through 1-2-1 conversations. All this input came together in an interactive workshop where the team played through real world scenarios to identify priorities and key action steps.
Outcome
This workshop received the highest score any inset day training has received in that school. Feedback from the team was that simplicity of the goals and outcomes significantly improved confidence for the HODs involved. In turn the Head was given a clear plan, one they've been able to track more effectively than was previously the case.
