As part of an organizational initiative to empower the Middle Management Tier, enhance employee engagement, and foster a performance-oriented culture, the client sought to develop and implement a comprehensive, tailored development program for all senior managers.Despite previous efforts, including various training workshops aimed at improving management skills, the programs lacked targeted pre-assessments and were not customized for specific teams, nor aligned with
the client’s industry needs. These workshops did not adequately address the unique challenges of the company’s workforce or business environment.
The client required a strategic partner capable of designing, developing, and implementing a bespoke solution for over 160
senior managers and directors across 24 different departments, including:
This diverse group of departments required a tailored approach that considered their unique challenges and operational goals.s
Brightn took on the challenge by delivering a pioneering development program designed specifically for this client. The process began with a critical assessment phase to identify the actual developmental needs of the senior managers and directors. Brightn’s Learning & Development (L&D)theÂ
team conducted an in-depth analysis and review of the client’s Training Needs Assessment (TNA) and optimized it to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the training topics.
The Solution:
Once the required development topics were finalized and confirmed from the client side, Brightn’s expert consultants and L&D team crafted a Tailored Development Plan for the 160 senior managers and directors. It was a Strategic Development
Journey, set to roll out over two years, was structured into two phases, each lasting one year
The Middle Management Development Roadmap covered several key focus areas, including:
Each development area within the plan was allocated a specific number of days to ensure comprehensive learning and application.
Once the development roadmap was finalized and approved by the client’s HR and L&D departments, Brightn initiated the implementation phase. The team developed and delivered Tailored, Experiential Training Programs, led by expert trainers. Each station in the roadmap was strategically developed to build upon the previous one, creating a coherent and integrated learning experience. The plan was crafted with careful attention to detail, ensuring that it not only maximized learning outcomes but also kept the sessions engaging and practical. The sequence of training stations was carefully planned to ensure a logical progression, resulting in meaningful and impactful learning for all participants.
To measure, evaluate, and ensure continuous improvement, Brightn provided a comprehensive training report for each station in the journey. These reports measured all aspects of the training sessions, gathering feedback and insights from all involved parties. This data was used to assess the effectiveness of each station and make any necessary adjustments for future sessions, ensuring the highest quality learning experience throughout the program.
