Workshops and programmes

Achieve change with proven frameworks for success

Develop your people and create sustainable change with tailored workshops and programmes.

Workshops & programmes: why facilitating real change necessitates being targeted and systematic

To achieve your business strategy, your leaders, managers, teams and organisation need to evolve. Sometimes that requires new skills development, and at others a deeper behavioural shift – or support to actually understand how your strategy needs to shift.

Whatever change you aspire to, achieving it is never as simple as sharing an announcement. Facilitating change requires your people to understand the purpose behind the change, buy-into it logically and emotionally and the have support as they adapt to it.

Workshops are an effective tool to both define, plan, embed and support change across your organisation. Whatever the change your strategy requires, our consultants can thematically design workshops into a programme of change and run them for specific segments of your organisation - for leaders, managers and specialist teams.

Testimonials

"James played a critical role in refining our ideas, developed multiple practical outcomes, and delivered consistently to a high standard. Feedback on James from our senior team was that he was engaging and provided perspectives and solutions that met our needs. Rutherford HRs work contributed to us accelerating the integration and collaboration of our people."

In 2022, we were exploring ways to refresh an annually delivered global development program for our junior talent. James proposed a new idea to partner with a third-party organisation he worked with (Excelerate Consulting), which would transform how we deliver the program by piloting a completely new way of learning fundamental skills and capabilities. James project managed the activity and co-delivered key parts of the program with Excelerate. James ensured that the content was fully aligned with all the other major contributors which resulted in a consistent and seamless participant experience. The program was successfully delivered and achieved great results. We received the most positive feedback that we have had for years. It was clear from the energy and connection in the room that the idea, the content, and the delivery all directly hit the mark and resonated with the participants. We had no hesitation in inviting RHR and Excelerate to facilitate the following year. Again, they helped us update the program to reflect changes in our strategy and business and generated enormously positive feedback from the participants for their facilitation skills and business knowledge.”

"James guided the team through the development process with a clear focus on maximizing the time that we are had together. His preparation and facilitation of the offsite were excellent and he was empathetic to our situation, pragmatic in his ideas and generous with his time and advice. This resulted in our establishment of new vision, the agreement of strategic priorities and the first steps (post Covid) in the re-establishment of a close and aligned team"

Greg

MD, Property

“We engaged Rutherford HR to help us develop the sales skills of a group of high potential employees in across the globe. Despite the multiple different views on the best approach, RHR was able to navigate our business model, build highly credible relationships with our senior people and design and deliver an excellent program that has created real value for the participants and our people. James was also very deliberate in working with members of my team, building their capability such that they would be able to lead and deliver it in future years.”
