Learning transfer and project impact
We ensure the design of our programmes incorporate learning and development initiatives capable of delivering tangible results. Increasing learning transfer requires significant organisational effort and a systemic and systematic approach. The result means your leaders can reflect on the behavioural change they want to see, communicate it consistently, identify variables which may impact learning transfer, such as learning transfer climate and, with our support, develop targeted interventions to improve learning transfer.
Our team specialises in designing and implementing strategies which maximise learning transfer and project impact. By leveraging our expertise, we can help you optimise the effectiveness and long-term sustainability of your learning and development investments.
Senior and executive leadership
Senior leaders play a crucial role in making a significant impact and setting the tone for effective leadership and management within the organisation.
LBS offers customised programmes which align with the strategic objectives and priorities of organisations. In addition, we can develop programmes connected to accredited Master's degrees and level 7 senior leader apprenticeships, which can be funded through the apprenticeship levy.
Coaching and action learning
Building a coaching culture and developing an internal network to provide coaching support is at the heart of effective development. LBS can provide an external safe space with our qualified coach network. LBS can also provide training for coaches and coachees to complement your growing network. You may also want to consider whether you want LBS to provide the coaching supervision/ethics support to enable the coaching community to be supported and to grow professional integrity.
Team leading and team coaching
LBS seeks to develop leaders and managers who combine innovative thinking and inspiration with excellent operational practice within the context of effective leadership practices. We also seek to contribute to the Organisation Development journey you are on. We can facilitate workshops and training sessions to improve interdependencies among teams, fostering a culture of trust, mutual respect, and effective communication.
Team coaching is a collaborative and structured process aimed at improving the effectiveness and performance of a team. It differs from individual coaching as it focuses on the collective goals, dynamics, and interactions within the team. Team coaches work with teams to foster collaboration, communication, and a shared sense of purpose, ultimately leading to better outcomes and increased satisfaction among team members.
Emerging leaders
Emerging leaders are key to the future of business and contribute to the strategic requirement to recruit and retain. LBS leadership development programmes can be tailored specifically to emerging leaders, equipping them with the necessary skills to navigate complex challenges and drive organisational growth. LBS uses a strategic approach to nurturing and enhancing the skills, knowledge, and capabilities of individuals. It is a critical component of organisational success, as it ensures employees are equipped with the tools they need to excel in their current roles and contribute to the long-term growth and success of the organisation.
Social network leadership
LBS can help you develop and enhance your social network leadership by providing comprehensive training programmes which focus on building effective communication, collaboration, and relationship management skills. Driven by our social network analysis, our approach emphasises the cultivation of strong leadership networks which drive innovation, engagement, and shared decision-making.
Culture change
Culture change and collective leadership are about bringing mindsets together. We would seek to draw out mechanisms, using data from leaders in the organisation and strategic priorities, to effect change and galvanise leaders at all levels.
Culture change is a process of unlocking the sense of creativity and innovation, giving people space to change, collect and deliver the changes that they know will make a difference. This is collected, distributed and actively shared through the infrastructure outlined above.
Supporting Organisational Development
Our OD programmes are co-designed to build the capabilities of those people in your organisation whose job it is to support others working with uncertainty and complexity to develop collaborative processes of lasting change.
Bespoke programmes are designed to enhance the capabilities of OD practitioners, HR Business Partners, middle managers, and nominated change agents.
Practice-based learning for real-world impact
The Liverpool Business School approach is rooted in practice-based learning methodologies, ensuring participants gain the required knowledge, skills and personal effectiveness. Through work-based projects, action learning, reflective practice groups and live consultancy projects, participants engage in hands-on experiences which prepare them to tackle the constantly shifting contexts and landscapes they encounter.
