Prior to delivery, NPO consultants Gareth Timmins and Jason Cranswick spent several sessions engaging with the business to better understand its operating environment, strategic objectives, leadership challenges, and desired development outcomes. This discovery phase enabled the team to design a highly tailored intervention aligned to the organisation’s specific needs.

NPO subsequently delivered a bespoke half-day Senior Leadership Team workshop at Birmingham’s International Convention Centre. The programme combined keynote presentations, facilitated discussion, and practical leadership frameworks covering leadership under pressure, rapid decision-making, the science of leadership, organisational and cultural design, risk literacy, and the management of attentional (cognitive) resources. The session was designed to challenge conventional thinking while providing practical tools leaders could immediately apply within their teams and functions.

The workshop was exceptionally well received by the Senior Leadership Team, generating strong engagement and discussion throughout. Leaders particularly valued the combination of evidence-based performance science, commercial relevance, and practical implementation strategies. Following the success of the session, Oodle expressed a desire to explore a bespoke implementation programme designed to embed the learning across the wider organisation and support long-term leadership development.
