Accredited by the Institute of Business Consulting, as part of the Chartered Management Institute, this programme develops the behaviours and skills necessary to deliver excellence in consultancy practice. The six day programme, spread over three modules, highlights the importance of consultancy capability within an organisation to encourage effective interpersonal and interdepartmental communications and to help deliver organisational success.

Each day of the programme will commence at 9:00am and finish by 5:00pm. The modules will be interspersed with co-coaching activity and supported by individual tutorials to help develop personal learning.
