Chichester College Case Study
Chichester College is a leading provider of further education to 16-21 year olds. It takes in both local and overseas students and has an enviable reputation for high standards and achievements, especially in vocational subjects.
The College had identified a need to develop the leadership and management skills of its middle managers and to assess the potential of future leaders and managers and to draw up personal development plans to guide their growth and career progression.
We worked with the senior and middle management teams of the College, to help them to assess and benchmark their skills against a set of internal and external management competencies.
We ran a number of development centres for the College, to identify the strengths and development areas of all participants, helped them to draw up their individual personal development plans and to inform the Colleges’ overall training and development plans.
We also worked with “real teams” within the College to help them improve their relationships, role clarity, direction efficiency and effectiveness.
Our work has provided clear benefits to the College in terms of:
- Better leadership and management of the College and Curricula.
- Clearer roles and career paths for key individuals within the College.
- A cost effective focus on specific development plans for individuals and the overall training plan for College staff.
- OFSTED standards maintained in most and improved in some areas.
