Read more"In 2007, we were developing a new performance-management system and needed to ensure that our 80 directors and managers developed the skills they needed to make it work.
We commissioned Darbyshire Consulting to help us design and implement a ‘best practice’ model and assessment process, focusing on how managers could achieve high performance from their staff.
Working together with Graham Darbyshire and Barbara Kemp, we embarked on an extensive programme to observe all 80 of our Directors and managers, holding both one-to-one and team meetings. We were able to use the best-practice model not only to assess their skills but to provide detailed feedback and coaching. As the assessments took place in real-life situations, the results of the coaching were impressive. We have radically and permanently changed the way we do things at the Wesleyan and substantially enhanced our performance-management skills.
We have continued to work with Graham and Barbara since 2007 to conduct assessments and provide coaching for our managers on a regular basis.
I would positively recommend Graham and his team for the practical and insightful way they work. They sought to understand our company culture and drew on the knowledge and expertise of the internal Learning & Development Team to deliver exceptional, demonstrable and sustained results."
