At Alternative Partnership, we take a unique approach to development. As we have highlighted before:
“Behind every successful business is a stellar workforce. To recruit, retain, and inspire this workforce, a business needs effective and strategic leadership and management. At Alternative Partnership, we deliver people development in a distinctive way, working closely with you and your team based on a thorough Training Needs Analysis of your business.”
We are a training delivery centre accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM), bringing extensive experience in training business leaders and managers across a wide range of specialties.
Personal and Professional Development
At Alternative Partnership, we understand that growth at both levels is crucial for individual and organisational success. Professional development involves acquiring new skills, knowledge, and experiences that enhance your capabilities and effectiveness in your career. It’s an ongoing process aimed at improving performance and advancing career prospects. Personal development focuses on improving self-awareness, building self-esteem, and developing a range of personal skills that contribute to a more fulfilling and balanced life. Professional and personal development are interconnected. Growth in one area often supports and enhances growth in the other. Our approach to this training is designed to equip leaders with the skills they need to inspire and guide their teams effectively.
Implementing Operational Change
This is a critical aspect of organisational development and requires careful planning, execution, and ongoing management to be successful. When managed effectively, it can lead to significant improvements and help an organisation achieve its strategic objectives. At Alternative Partnership, we provide the tools and strategies needed to manage transitions smoothly. We cover recruitment, selection, and induction to ensure that businesses attract and retain the best talent, as well as redundancy and redeployment to manage transitions with care and sensitivity. Our expertise extends to tendering process management, where we guide businesses in navigating the complexities of procurement. Our programs also promote learning and development, encouraging a culture of continuous improvement within organisations.
Management of Physical Resources
This is another area we cover, helping organisations optimise their assets for better efficiency. We also stress the importance of environmental impact management, providing insights on how businesses can operate sustainably. In addition, we prepare organisations for quality audits, from initial preparation through to conducting audits, ensuring that they meet the highest standards.
Budget Management
We strive to support organisations in making informed financial decisions. Our training also covers project management to ensure that initiatives are completed on time and within budget. We also offer guidance on business risk management, equipping organisations to identify and mitigate potential threats. Budget management ensures financial stability and effective resource allocation, while project management provides a framework for achieving specific goals and optimising resources. Together, they enable organisations to operate efficiently, meet objectives, and adapt to changing conditions, ultimately driving long-term success.
Our Quality-Assured Training
We are committed to promoting Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion in the workplace, creating environments where everyone can thrive. Team Performance Management is also a focus, with strategies to boost productivity and morale. We encourage Innovation, helping organisations to stay ahead in a competitive market, and assist in the Development of Strategic Plans that align with long-term objectives. Lastly, our training on Customer Service Operations Management ensures that businesses deliver exceptional service, fostering loyalty and satisfaction among their clients.
Our high standards in both delivery and quality assurance have earned us ILM’s endorsement to offer bespoke ILM-accredited courses tailored to the specific needs of our clients. We will start with a comprehensive Training Needs Analysis of your organisation, then customise the ILM-accredited training to fit your precise requirements. This ensures that not only will your organisation see direct improvements, but you will also gain qualifications from a prestigious and respected institute.
Developing Assertive Leaders
As a manager or leader, there’s always something new to learn or a skill you can improve and develop. Organisations need to support managers and leaders in this development, but you also need to invest in yourself.
Getting formal leadership and management training will not only help you build your leadership skills, it will also help you grow in confidence, and increase your chances of career progression.
Alternative Partnership delivers ILM-accredited Leadership and Management training programmes to support you and your teams in gaining formal, nationally recognised qualifications.
