CforC launches New Manufacturing Team Leader Development Programme

The Centre for Competitiveness Launches New Manufacturing Team Leader Development Programme

Based on feedback from the Manufacturing Talent Rules! Summit, the Centre for Competitiveness has launched a new Manufacturing Team Leader Development Programme. The programme explicitly tailors a ‘from-to’ path for each participant based on an understanding of their needs, organisational culture, the shop floor management system and the development plans of the organisation.

‘Team Leaders are in daily contact with a greater number of people than any other management level, yet manufacturers have found it difficult to find development programmes that lead to behavioural change and whose value can be quantified over and above participant feedback.  Our team leader development programme offers a ‘hands on’ approach with greater emphasis based on shadowing and mentoring the Team Leader during their daily routine,’ - William Ussher.

The Development Programme is delivered in three phases over a 60-day period with an on-site Benchmarking Review and coaching session at the end of each phase. The Programme incudes visits to other manufacturers and also incorporates a follow-up 2 months after the completion of the Programme which will provide organisations with any relevant recommendations to continue the development of Team Leaders.
