Empowering Your People
Building foundational knowledge across the organization
Empowering Your People helps our clients build foundational knowledge across their organizations, supporting the effective execution of business strategy.
We help organizations maintain and improve the line of sight from their organizational objectives through to delivery on the ground by upskilling their workforces with carefully designed learning and development programs. These are delivered as either individual training courses and qualifications, or through a broader enterprise-wide learning and development program designed in collaboration with the client to understand and deliver specific organizational learning and development needs.
For the individual we offer a range of bespoke and IAM Endorsed training courses in Asset Management, including courses for the IAM’s Foundation Award, Certificate and Diploma.
For enterprise-wide learning and development we undertake a training needs diagnostic, engaging with the client to design a learning and development program to suit their specific needs. This is primarily focused on the existing training materials customized to meet specific organizational needs and requirements but can include bespoke learning and development material created for specific client needs.

Executive Bries held in Manila
Aboitiz Power is a power company in the Philippines and the CEO of the Thermal business requested a one-day Executive Brief to enable his leadership team to learn about good industry practice and to facilitate discussion on a number topical issues.
The key to the successful outcome was delivering the Executive Brief in person – it would not have been so effective if delivered remotely. There was very positive feedback from the leadership team – the day promoted discussion between the Exec members and gave them cause to reconsider their strategy and approach on a number of key initiatives, most notably pausing the purchase of a major IT system on the basis the CEO concluded they were not ready as a client to adopt the system.

These products needed to provide industry principles at their base, prepare delegates to take the IAM qualifications of Certificate and Diploma, and also show how Asset Management is implemented within TfL.
They were developed at three levels (Introduction, Principles and Advanced) with the Advanced course covering four main subject areas (information, risk, contractors and change, strategy and planning).
An Infrastructure client has recognized the benefits of taking a whole-life approach, alongside other specific AM competencies and is looking for bespoke, targeted training to support their staff and supplier development.
