Ashorne Hill closely collaborated with BakerHicks to provide an engaging and informative learning programme to help new leaders develop in their job roles. Our partnership saw BakerHicks employees explore their leadership skills further to successfully navigate teams in our ever-changing world of work.
Developing New Leaders.
As part of the Morgan Sindall Group, BakerHicks is an international consultancy firm who have been delivering creative design, engineering, and project delivery solutions for over 6 decades. With 14 offices located around the UK and Europe, as well as over 1000 talented employees from more than 20 countries, BakerHicks establishes long-term global and local client partnerships.
To develop talented employees into confident leaders and managers.
BakerHicks’s challenge was to develop a learning programme that supported employees transitioning into management positions for the first time. They wanted new leaders to focus on accelerating their business and people management skills and ensure they would be confident and successful in their appointed roles.
Designing and delivering our New Leader Development Programme.
Ashorne Hill designed and facilitated the New Leader Development Programme that equipped new leaders with critical skills and capabilities and helped them tackle new and unexpected challenges. Over three blended learning journeys, learners gained insightful knowledge on topics such as personal and team effectiveness, increased commerciality, and business skills to effectively transition into their leadership and managerial roles with confidence.
Digital Learning
Personalised and interactive learning.
The New Leader Development Programme included digital learning sections which helped learners continue their learning journeys at their own pace. Our digital learning platform allowed them to reflect on virtual classrooms and prepared them for upcoming face-to-face sessions. The digital aspects of the programme made it flexible and adaptable for learners which helped them feel more engaged and proactive.
Face-to-Face Learning
Applying learning in a safe environment.
There were 2 days of face-to-face sessions at the end of each learning journey which were held at our premium learning facility at Ashorne Hill. These sessions enabled learners to collaborate and workshop the knowledge learnt on topics such as emotional intelligence, decision making, and assertiveness from the digital sessions into real-life scenarios. Having a section of the programme facilitated in-person provided individuals with an effective learning experience as we gave them the opportunity to practically problem-solve, network, and connect with peers.
