SML Training and Consultancy

Drive business success through leadership development

How we work

Our diverse team of occupational psychologists, trainers and HR consultants can help you with each stage in the selection and development of world class leaders and managers.

Selection

Our Chartered Occupational Psychologists can help you to define the specific competencies your organisation will require of its managers and leaders from first-line supervisors up to board level
The same team of psychologists can work in partnership with you to design selection tools, including psychometrics and Assessment Centres, which will give you the confidence that your hiring/promotion decisions are based on fair methods which support your Equality and Diversity policy. At SML we tailor our solutions to your unique culture. We can also train your own managers or assessors to work together with, or even to replace, external assessors.

Talent Reviews and Succession Planning

SML can work with you to ensure that your business strategy is underpinned by a credible succession strategy
Our Occupational Psychologists provide independent advice as to how far the tools used in your Talent Reviews (e.g. psychometrics, assessment/development centres, 360o feedback) are fair, transparent, relevant and valid.

In-house Leadership and Management Development Programmes

Whether you need to develop management skills or to cultivate future leaders in your organisation, we can design and facilitate in-house training programmes from entry level to the boardroom. We mix and match consultants, coaches and trainers to connect with your client population, providing solutions that fit first time.

Global Leadership

International management development is a priority for many of our clients. By combining our one-to-one coaching and in-house leadership development programmes we can help global businesses to develop and retain, high calibre individuals and teams who have the leadership and management skills to work internationally.

Developing a Diverse Management Team

In our view Leadership Development and Diversity are inextricably linked. If you are committed to equality and diversity but currently have under-representation of certain groups at senior levels, we can offer you positive action (not positive discrimination) programmes and coaching to accelerate the development of a more diverse management team.

Global Leadership and Succession Planning

SML have global clients for whom we deliver training and executive coaching in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Our international experience underpins the quality of our Cross-Cultural Communication and Global Leadership Programmes, which can be delivered anywhere in the world.
