Mentoring is an alternative to Consulting or conventional training and provides a way to rapidly achieve improved skills and capabilities. With Consultancy there is sometimes the risk that at the end of the project crucial knowledge resides in the consultant's head and nowhere else.

This may be good for the consultant but it is bad for your business. Training can sometimes be too general or address too large a group. Mentoring provides a method of avoiding these risks by being focused and more individual.

Over a relatively short period of time, typically days or weeks, Mentoring provides specific assistance to a small group or to an individual, focused on passing over a specific set of skills, rather than on implementing a part of a project as in consultancy.

Mentoring is an enabling technique and very effective in overcoming initial steep learning curves associated with rapid change and the introduction of new technology. We have used Mentoring to introduce new product changes, new operating systems, new project management techniques and training methods to both large and small organisations. To succeed in mentoring the mentor requires excellent communication skills, management and technical knowledge, and broad experience. We are pleased to say that we can provide all of these.

PRINCE2 is a great example of a management technology, which, if wrongly implemented, can cause a drop in efficiency and motivation. We offer on-site review and mentoring of your staff and their implementation to encourage efficiency, performance and much more job-satisfaction. A typical assignment will usually take 2 or 3 days, and is delivered via a summary presentation and specific recommendations documents. Contact us for details.

PRINCE2 exams, Foundation or Practitioner can be the cause of much stress for experienced managers who have neither the time nor the opportunity for conventional PRINCE2 training. We can offer on-site, one-on-one PRINCE2 guidance and mentoring as required, if necessary with a view to gaining the PRINCE2 qualifications, at a time and a place to fit your needs.
