TSG

TSG (Technology Services Group) has developed rapidly through organic growth and targeted acquisition to become one of the UK’s leading providers of IT hardware, software and support solutions to SMEs. In response to a recognition that to maintain its rapid growth the company needed a high level, leadership development programme TSG chose Neville Wharton Business Psychology as its strategic development partner. The brief was to design an inspirational and empowering programme that would facilitate accelerated career development of high potential managers and create a pool of talent ready to step into the strategic management opportunities being rapidly created in the organisation.

Over forty participants have been through the Programme so far which has developed in scope from an initial process focused mainly on one to one coaching, psychometric evaluation and 360º feedback to one that now also includes three team learning events, personal development planning and a strategic business project. The Programme is designed to present participants with a variety of intense leadership and learning challenges over a period of seven months. They are then encouraged to reflect on key personal learning messages and practice new approaches which are reviewed and enhanced in the one to one coaching sessions.

The programme is led by Neville Wharton and Mike Cockburn working closely with a small team of gifted coaches who are providing personalised support to the participants. On going feedback and review of the Programme has led to significant enhancements being made to meet the needs of individuals and the organisation and results have been very encouraging in strengthening the TSG leadership team and ensuring key managers feel valued and supported by the company.
