The Managers OPEN Programme Details
The Managers OPEN Programme is designed to enhance and cultivate the capabilities of those in existing management roles. This programme will provide delegates with essential knowledge, skills & insight to directly improve their effectiveness as a leader.
Key areas this programme covers are:
• Organisational Performance – delivering results
• Interpersonal Excellence – managing people and developing relationships
• Personal Effectiveness – managing self
• Behavioural Impact – the perceptions and effects of behaviour
The Managers OPEN Programme is designed for people who are already in management roles.
The programme doesn’t focus on any particular discipline or industry, so it is suitable for anyone in your business – whether you’re looking to develop the skills of employees in engineering roles, commercial roles or hands-on team leader roles.
We also welcome people with different levels of experience onto the programme; whether your employee has been managing people for 1 month, 1 year or 10 years, everyone will benefit from being a better manager!
Having delegates from different industries with different experiences in the working world allows delegates to learn from one another and understand how different businesses function to their own.
Across the 18-month programme, learners will experience:
• 1 induction day
• 4 experiential modules
• Face-to-face support visits
• On-going online learning, webinars & support
• Blended learning
• Classroom learning
• Experiential interventions
• Business simulations
• Real business challenge projects
Outcomes of this programme include:
– Embedding tools, techniques and models for people management, including how to lead, manage, build relationships and communicate effectively
– Improving business acumen and decision making
– Understanding their development areas and how to improve
– Embedding critical business skills such a finance, operational management and project management
– Developing the right behaviours, including: taking responsibility, agility, inclusivity and professionalism
– Becoming accountable for management and delivery of self and team
– Increasing awareness of own behaviours, and the potential positive/negative impact this can have
– Developing interpersonal capability
– Becoming learner role models
– Understanding coaching models and theories to support employee development
The Managers OPEN Programme can be privately funded by any organisation. The programme is aligned to the Operations/Departmental Manager Level 5 apprenticeship standard, meaning it can also be funded using the apprenticeship levy – both for organisations who are levy payers and SMEs using a government top-up.
Ensure there is confidence in your leaders…
Seniority specific
Your managers will need a certain depth of knowledge, skills & behaviors to be successful; our programme is specifically designed to deliver these.
Blended learning
Just telling people how to manage doesn’t work. Blended learning takes learners on a journey of self-discovery to increase their skills & self-awareness.
Peer learning
Spending time with like-minded individuals will increase engagement, embed learnings and allow learners to share best-practice.
Tailored training
Your managers won’t have the exact same development areas; allow them to explore them as individuals so they can start their journey of self-development.
Business simulations
We all need practice at new things, but there are no second chances when it comes to people. Help your team to practice & improve in a ‘safe’ environment.
Focus on profitability
The skills your managers learn range from people skills, all the way to finance skills; the one thing they have in common is how these are best used to improve business performance.
Plus, the programme can be funded in two ways – either privately funded by your business or, if you’re an apprenticeship levy payer, using your levy!
Are you ready to improve your workforce?
Client Testimonial
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
The OPEN Programme for Managers was quite simply an excellent experience for me. As a new manager, I took away a clearer understanding of the role of leadership in my business and learned and practiced several approaches that I could implement straight away to motivate my team and improve their performance. I would highly recommend this programme to any manager looking to become a highly effective leader.
