HOW DO WE DO IT?
Developing People
We are passionate about the development of people. We engage with your leadership, management teams and staff, providing practical and relevant learning in alignment with the vision and strategy of your business. Our result-driven learning offers immediate and sustained impact on the performance, efficiency and motivation of your people.
Developing Business
We help businesses evolve, expand and build to reach their potential. This involves many facets, including defining company vision, strategy, taking products to market and then making it happen. Our support always works hand in hand with our approach to developing people so that your organisation is aligned for success.
“An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest” - Benjamin Franklin
It is absolutely paramount when embarking in any level of development – from the Boardroom to the shop floor – that the learning is in clear alignment and supports the commercial growth plans and strategy of the business. Poor people skills and a lack of cross-functional working and communication is a hidden profit centre, which for many organisations runs at a loss.
At Turning Factor we see that developing your business means that you will need to develop your people – and if you develop your people, it needs to be in alignment with the vision, strategy and development of your business. We are proud to welcome clients to learn at our own Training Facilities, or we will come to you.
UNIQUE IN OUR APPROACH
Turning Factor has a unique market differential with the commercial experience and knowledge of the Leadership Team. All tutors are experts within their field and demonstrate a practical knowledge along side their academic achievements.
Turning Factor has a unique ability to get underneath a business and to find out the real cause of the issues, from either a business or individual perspective. Our method of achieving this involves an in-depth analysis, which is unique to us, and has been proven to provide the leadership with honest and real feedback which previously may have been hidden within the business.
Because our approach is a combination of developing people and business, we are able to assess the larger picture to ensure that our recommendations are not driven by any one area of the business.
Our commercial and real life expertise gives a unique edge to the experience gained by our clients when working with us either in the training room, board room or 121 basis, and this is continually proven to us through our clients ability to implement the ‘how’.

Open Training Programmes
Turning Factor run a selection of relevant, in-house designed and accredited programmes which are demand led to meet the challenges of today.
We run a suite of open programmes which are demand led to meet the challenges of today, including Time Management, Appraisal Training, Unlock Your Potential, and Presentation Skills, as well as ILM accredited qualifications in Leadership and Management. All tutors are experts within their field and demonstrate a practical knowledge alongside academic achievements.
The advantage of open programmes is that they give the individuals attending another perspective on their challenges and learning by taking the training out of the organisation. What we observe is that it opens up their minds to new thinking and approaches to solve problems, which they may have not been able to do previously in their usual environment.
