About this Breakthrough course
Succession planning and developing the skills of managers to enable them to adopt a more strategic approach to their work is an on-going issue for organisations striving to maintain competitiveness whilst also ensuring a continuous high standard of service delivery.
The Breakthrough programme aims to develop the leadership and management skills of managers including being involved in determining the strategic direction of their organisation. This in-company course is action learning based and designed to encourage managers to work together on team-based projects that are relevant to the strategic plans and direction of their organisation.
The overall design follows the 70:20:10 model of blended learning which recognises that 70% of learning and development comes from the experience on the job, 20% comes from learning from other people (usually their manager) and 10% comes from further training.
