How we work - SML Training and Consultancy

At SML we are totally flexible as to how we contribute to each client's unique People and Organisation Development Plans.

We follow our 5-Stage Model in partnership with clients (OD, HR, project managers, strategic business managers and leaders) and their external partners to provide an end-to-end integrated Organisation and People Development Programme.

Stage one

Rigorous diagnostic research

Stage two

Valid, reliable and non-discriminatory assessment tools

Stage three

Understanding individual differences

Stage four

Innovative, engaging development activities

Stage five

Evaluation of results against objectives

 

Sometimes however, clients invite us to help them with the design and delivery of bespoke solutions which will build on their existing People and Organisation Development Programmes.

See SML News for a range of case studies to illustrate our flexibility in responding to each client's unique requirements from SML as an external partner.

What people are saying

“SML have been delivering bespoke Communication and Influencing Skills workshops for us regularly since the mid-90s. They are extremely well received by front office and back office staff alike, from new grads to MDs, technical specialists and administrators.”

Professional Services Sector
 

“SML provide a number of personal effectiveness programmes for us, which always receive positive feedback from participants. I am particularly impressed by SML’s straightforward, uncomplicated approach and professional delivery of training.”

HR Manager
Financial Services Organisation

“I had worked successfully with SML in my last job, so when I joined my present company as Chief Executive, I felt confident inviting them to facilitate a one-day off-site with my new team. Together we clarified the purpose of the meeting and agreed how best to achieve the objectives. We found the Myers-Briggs session particularly enlightening.”

Chief Executive

“SML have been an integral part of Alfa Laval’s training programme for over 10 years. The feedback from their training is always excellent - something I am happy to support, both as an organiser of training and as a past trainee.”
