Gaining competitive advantage by nurturing every last grain of management talent.

Europa specialises in bespoke programmes that transform business performance through the development of managers and people.

Our programmes are bottom-line driven, tailor made to focus development investment on enabling managers to improve business performance and get the results required. Spanning the whole organisation, working with individuals, small groups or large numbers - Europa's programmes enable managers to produce their best results - with huge returns on investment.

The following sample programmes illustrate some of our 'standard' programmes. These are usually highly customised for specific client needs


Typical Programmes : (See 'Training' for more)

We always combine and customise programme content to suit our clients and their managers from the design, development and delivery of a programme covering hundreds of managers in multiple locations and cultures, to one to one coaching and mentoring for senior executives.

Accredited Courses - where participating managers are able to achieve nationally recognised qualifications (Certificate in Management, Diploma in Management, Executive Diploma in Management and MBA) - are increasingly being valued by our clients and their managers. They produce the bottom-line results whilst encouraging managers to invest some of their own time in self-development.

Competence - based Management Development
The measurement and consequent development of individuals' management ability is based on a competence framework that is necessary for the business to meet its objectives. This process ensures that development is geared to filling 'skill gaps' in areas vital for business success, increasing the cost-effectiveness of development expenditure.

Europa assists clients in developing practical competency frameworks and then using these to: assess current levels of competence; design and deliver development programmes to reduce competence gaps; follow up with further assessment..

Outdoor Development - Land and Sea
The benefits of the outdoors are well known, with participants on an equal footing, engaging in facilitated feedback and rapid team development..

Development Centres
The use of a Development Centre enables the measurement of management knowledge, skills and ability to be done in an intensive, competence-based way. There is an array of exercises, activities and tests to be completed, together with a number of concurrent validation processes.

Learning Sets
The concept of self-managed learning (SML) is being introduced increasingly as a development tool because of its flexibility and learner focus. This improves both the ownership of the learning and the commitment to change.

Europa has made use of Learning Sets in this context where the input is non-prescriptive and the learning is practical and work based.

Psychometric Evaluation
Europa consultants are fully qualified and experienced in using a wide range of psychometric evaluation techniques such as OPQ, RPQ, DISC, Belbin, Myers Briggs and OPTIC360º.

Individual Coaching
Europa has a full coaching programme that stimulates performance in individuals at any level in organisations. This has been successfully used with CEO's Senior Directors Managers.

This is a highly personalised process, and our consultants, in addition to being skilled in coaching procedures, are carefully matched to the status and experience of our individual clients.

Critical to the lasting success of any Development Programme is the way in which the chosen process is managed. Europa sees this as key and ensures that there is continual client contact during the project both by the Consultants involved and also with an independent Europa Quality Director nominated for each project.

Europa will clarify project objectives and relate these to the 'bottom line' wherever possible. An evaluation process is put in place to facilitate and measure the levels of learning and change that have taken place.
