Next Steps

Developing people doesn't have to mean sending individuals on a course. There are three dimensions you need to consider:

• What they need to learn - is it knowledge (and does it need to be certificated by a recognised qualification?) Or is it a technical skill such as report writing? Or a behavioural skill such as influencing?
• How they can best learn - as a individual or as part of a team? Or does the whole team need to develop together, perhaps to change the way audit and risk management work is delivered?
• The best type of learning experience - should it be a course? Or an intensive briefing session on a one to one basis? Or a structured programme based around their day to day work? Or a series of coaching sessions delivered in-house or by an independent professional?

We will work with you to determine what would work best for you, for a team member or for your whole team. We will discuss the options with you in the context of your organisation, your opportunities and your constraints. Together we can design learning strategies that meet your specific requirements and deliver sustainable improvements in performance.

If you are bringing about significant change in your internal audit or risk management function we can help you build a new approach with your team, or merge internal audit functions from different organisations and backgrounds.
