Every firm leader we speak to has a common goal – to become a truly “people-first” business.
Why? Well, because they know that when employees have access to high-quality development, the firm reaps the rewards through growth, innovation, and a stronger bottom line.
However, many leaders hesitate, feeling that building a culture prioritising continuous development is too steep a mountain to climb.
What if we told you that with our “silver bullet” approach, you could scale your learning and development efforts tenfold, overnight, without a single new hire?
Sound ambitious? It is – and that’s exactly why it works.
How it all works
For our six-step plan to succeed, every step needs to be fully embraced, starting with one simple but crucial requirement – bravery.
Step one – Be brave
To start, you’ll need to challenge the “chargeable billing” mindset that we’re sure you know all too well.
Demonstrate to your Managing Partner, Finance Director, and other leaders that investing in your people’s growth is just as valuable as billable time. These conversations might feel intimidating at the start but rest assured that we’ll be by your side.
We’ll work with you to build a strong business case that directly links development goals to growth metrics, ensuring you get the support you need.
Step two – Identify key line managers
Next, identify line managers who will champion Learning and Development (L&D).
Why line managers? They’re the people who know your employees best – their strengths, weaknesses, and career aspirations.
They’re ideally positioned to keep the momentum going and make learning a part of everyday work life.
Step three – Mentor and equip your line managers
Once you’ve selected your L&D champions, it’s time to equip them with the right tools and guidance.
We provide three months of dedicated training (just one hour per month) for each line manager, building their skills as L&D leaders without disrupting their regular responsibilities.
Step four – Conduct a Learning Needs Analysis (LNA)
At this stage, we’ll conduct a Learning Needs Analysis to identify skill gaps and strengths within your team. With these insights, we’ll design a development plan tailored to your firm’s business goals, giving managers a clear roadmap to how their team can and will develop.
Step five – Roll out personalised digital training
Now it’s time to bring development to life!
We’ll launch a series of customised digital training playlists, available on-demand, so employees can learn at a time that works best for them.
With automated reminders and regular progress reports, managers stay informed, and employees take ownership of their learning journey.
Step six – Watch the magic happen!
In just six months, you’ll start seeing measurable improvements across the board – from engagement and well-being to retention and productivity.
