Client Referrals & Current Projects
Client Referrals
"I have had the pleasure to work with TBL for many years on a number of different briefs and in widely diverse business contexts. They recognise the absolute need to be results focused and have always brought a fresh approach to contribute new ideas and add value to my initial concepts. TBL have become one of my preferred suppliers for their trusted approach, consistent reliability and agility in challenging situations."
- Sarah Murphy, HR, Microsoft EMEA
"I found our team building events to be a valuable tool to show training can be fun as well as serving a more serious business purpose. I believe Investment in training emphasises the importance and value you place on your team which in turn, creates a successful business."
- Lyn Sillars, HR Manager, BNFL
"I have worked with TBL for over 10 years in a variety of organisations and industries, and have always found them adaptive and sensitive to the organisational culture, to ensure their interventions 'stick' Oliver and his team have a refreshing approach to development as there is a continual appetite to challenge the value they add. TBL have expertise in the fields of team development, talent development and facilitation. The approach has always been innovative, the client feedback positive and a real - measurable - difference made'
- Lynn Reid, HR, HBoS
"In late 2002, we determined to position ourselves for flotation on the Alternative Investment Market. We knew that 'people readiness' was essential for the new world we would find ourselves in, and, on a warm recommendation, approached TBL to 'run their tape over us', identify our needs and mentor us in the improvement process. TBL has helped us with this over several years, pre-, during and post our flotation in December 2004. This assisted us enormously, and the value of our business has increased dramatically, due in no small part to TBL'
- Roger Duggan, IDS
"We found the sessions to be of high value and fun. We looked at ourselves as a team in a different way and got real benefit - even the over exposed to team building cynics amongst us! The clear objectives and action planning helped give us all something to get our teeth into and the insight into different stages of development and the progression through them has been invaluable in helping us as a team and the support we can give to others."
- General Manager, NHS 24
"TBL have a great way of working, mixing sound theory with a strong practical approach. They were able to come in and quickly get our people performing at a higher level. They were able to assess what we needed and provide our teams with the tools to solve their problems making a measurable improvement to the way we operate."
- Ian Cookson, Director, Axis-Shield
"Being part of the first cohort of the much acclaimed evolve leadership development programme - designed for specifically Babcock - opened my eyes to the benefits of having as many of our managers exposed to the TBL experience as possible. Oliver & Andy delivered with true professionalism and worked hard at understanding our business and our people. Many of our staff are now growing and leading within this business as a direct result of their experience with TBL."
- Mike Bramall, Operations Manager, Babcock Design and Technology
Some of the Sectors we work with
Current and Recent Projects
Coaching
We are currently working with 3 major organisations on a senior management coaching. Theses companies have staff throughout Europe. Individuals with whom we are engaged are well rewarded but required to contribute at high levels with strategic projects. Starting with a 360 diagnostic tool, we support individuals in identify where their key strengths lay, how to capitalise upon these to the maximum and where there are areas for development that could make a significant difference to their performance. Co developing plans, we support then throughout the journey.
Babcock Engineering
Babcock Engineering took over the operation of the Rosyth naval Dockyard in the 1990's. It was a bold move in that the yard had a highly established culture set in place through decades of custom and practice. At its height the yard employed over 12000 people. However Rosyth needed to change. Building ships for the Ministry of Defence was no longer a guaranteed future. The yard needed to become a commercial entity and move away from cost plus contracts.
Over the last 6 years, TBL has helped the management at Rosyth in the following ways:
- Facilitating workshops with employees at various levels in the organisation map out the current state of the business and identify the ke change themes to deliver a successful future
- Designed and run the Evolve programme; this is a programme designed to build more leadership capability within the organisation - particularly within middle management
- Over 80 personnel have been through the 6 month programme to date
- Facilitated strategy sessions with the senior management team
- Conducted top team coaching sessions
Today the yard employs less than 3000 people but this is set to increase rapidly with the onset of some major contracts. The business is more diverse, flexible and capable than it was previously.
An independent review of the Evolve programme identified that it had had returned significant benefits to the business. The quantifiable aspects to this were estimated at £2 million.
Teambuilding
This summer sees us start the first of a series of programmes for the power sector. We are assisting in the development of High Performance Teams, working in a critical environment. Programmes will include both business issues and experiential learning.
ACA Sports
ACA Sports is one of the fastest growing businesses in Fife. Its turnover is increasing by 40% year on year. TBL has helped the leadership team identify strategic actions, define roles and manage actions.
