Leadership and management training delivered in-company

Managing innovation for business growth

Equiniti, a market leader providing complex administration services, needed to grow its innovation agenda and develop the skills to deliver that agenda for its customers' benefit.

CENTRIM, part of the University's School of Business and Law and one the world’s top 10 innovation research groups, ran a programme of Managing Innovation workshops for Equiniti staff. During the workshops, staff practiced the skills and tools used by the most successful innovation managers and organisations.

Since 2008 the Managing Innovation programme has been delivered to managers from companies that include Cisco Systems, Citibank, IBM and Medtronic.

The course helped to highlight how we can better focus our energy on the innovations that bring best benefit and customer satisfaction, and how we can better implement them effectively.

Preparing staff for management roles

National charity Living Streets wanted to develop the people management skills of their area coordinators. 

The university delivered a short management course designed to meet the challenges of managing a charity sector workforce. Delivered at Living Streets' headquarters in London, staff learned how to motivate, organise and lead volunteers, and manage change.  

Lots of tips for effective management. Relatable material and real life situations

Creating an in-house leadership and management programme

The Pensions Regulator needed to develop an in-house leadership and management development programme.

A team from the University's School of Business and Law matched course content to the regulator's skills gaps. The resulting skills programme, the Graduate Certificate in Management, was a careful balance between theory and business training, which could be implemented "back at the desk".

Almost 50 per cent of those completing the Graduate Certificate received a promotion within the Pensions Regulator.

We were impressed that the University of Brighton brought in the people who would actually be doing the teaching, as well as helping us design the course"
