The good thing about this training is it’s really operationally based so you're learning about things that you could actually implement the next day. The kind of agility of the programme really matched the agility of our team – it synchronised beautifully!

What has changed at Tribosonics as a result of having your team participate in the STAR® Manager Programme?
Developing STAR® Managers for Success
Each learner embarked on their own bespoke STAR® Manager journey consisting of a fully blended learning experience with expert tutor support and practical missions in the workplace.
“
This has changed the way that our people look at training. It’s about development in an operational sense. You learn from doing; if you’ve got the confidence to do something and fail, then the next time is even better and that is pure gold dust for a management development programme.

That's priceless. For someone to be able to look at a problem, stand back from it and have the confidence to try different operational approaches, it's brilliant, you don't find that in normal coaching programmes.
