LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS - MANAGEMENT SKILLS TRAINING	andre	22/03/2007 12:11
I am in the early stages of researching options for management skills training - it will be our first venture into this (and our first attempt to work with an external vendor/consultant). We are a VERY unstructured organization - no defined competencies, and a real "I know it when I'll see it" way of doing things (very hard for people to define desired outcomes). Any suggestions for vendors or consultants who might be able to work with us successfully to develop a program? Thanks!

Try The Development and Training Company. They have a wealth of experience in this area and I have worked with them in the past and had lots of success. Their number is 023 92831102.

Before you engage a consultant. Endeavor to as much as you can define the expectations, outcomes, and objectives no matter how rough. The subsequent meetings and engagement will be light years more effective. I would also suggest you to take help from a website http://eaptools.com/worklifeExcel.html where you can get vast knowledge on management skills and training.

Hi Andre Any good consultancy will try to understand how your organisation's culture and fit in with that, but also try to provoide you with the structure needed for a project such as this and will be prepared to challenge you constructively, rather than being 'yes' men/women. The best way to choose the right consultancy is by meeting potential suppliers and seeing whether you gel as people, which always makes for a more successful working relationship. Good luck!
