Employee and People Development Consultancy Services
Supporting People & Organisational Growthour consultancy services
Springboard Consultancy helps organisations make better decisions about how people development is planned, shaped and sustained. This might mean reviewing an approach that’s grown in different directions, adapting to changing priorities, or scoping a focused project like a leadership pathway, coaching, facilitator licensing or a personal development route.
Every organisation has its own context, audience and aims. Our role is to make sense of those factors and shape a practical approach that feels relevant, purposeful and sustainable.
“If you want to inspire your staff, if you want to support them, if you want to give them the tools that they need to get to the next level, you just have to invest in a programme like Springboard”.
Where Consultancy Support Adds Value
Consultancy support can be especially valuable when development activity has grown in different directions, when priorities are changing, or when an organisation needs a clearer view of what will make the biggest difference. Springboard Consultancy works with organisations at different stages of their people development planning. This may include support with:
- reviewing and aligning learning and development priorities with wider people strategy
- understanding the needs of a specific audience or employee group
- shaping a personal development or leadership pathway
- strengthening inclusive progression and supporting succession planning
- introducing coaching or building internal capability through facilitator licensing
- evaluating development activity and identifying next steps
The focus is always on understanding what the organisation wants to achieve, who the development is for, and how the approach can create meaningful value for participants, stakeholders and the wider business.
What Our COnsultancy Services Can Support With
Learning and Development Strategy
We can support organisations reviewing or developing their learning and development approach.
This may include identifying gaps, creating clearer development routes, aligning activity with people priorities, or considering how different interventions can work together over time.
This is particularly useful where development needs to support engagement, retention, inclusion, progression, leadership capability or future workforce needs.
Programme Selection and Development Pathways
Springboard Consultancy offers a broad portfolio of personal development, leadership development and workshop-based learning.
Consultancy support can help organisations identify the right blend of options, which may include Springboard Women, Navigator Men, Springboard Empower, Interactive Bitesize Workshops, Bespoke Leadership Development, Coaching or even Facilitator Licensing.
Facilitator Licensing and Internal Capability
Facilitator licensing gives organisations the opportunity to build internal capability and deliver selected Springboard Consultancy programmes in-house.
Consultancy support can help organisations consider how licensing could fit within their learning and development strategy, which programmes are most appropriate, and how internal facilitators can be selected, prepared and supported.
This can be a valuable option for organisations looking to scale development, reach larger audiences or embed programmes into internal learning pathways.
Leadership and Succession Planning Support
Leadership development is often closely linked to succession planning, progression and organisational capability.
We can support organisations in shaping development routes for team leaders, first-time managers, experienced managers, aspiring senior leaders and future talent.
This may include leadership programmes, coaching, personal development, targeted workshops or wider pathway design.
Inclusive Development and Employee Networks
Springboard Consultancy has long-standing experience in personal and professional development across different audiences.
We can support organisations looking to invest in women’s development, men’s development, mixed-gender development, employee networks, early careers cohorts or other groups that would benefit from focused support.
This can help organisations create development activity that is inclusive, practical and aligned with wider people and culture priorities.
Evaluation and Sustained Impact
Consultancy support can also help organisations consider how development activity is reviewed and sustained.
This may include pulse checks, participant feedback, evaluation reports, stakeholder conversations, follow-on workshops, alumni activity or longer-term planning.
The aim is to understand participant experience, capture meaningful outcomes and identify practical next steps.
End to End Support Journey
Initial Consultancy
We take the time to fully understand your organisational and people development needs, now and for the future. Based on this understanding and our over 35 years’ experience we will craft a carefully considered proposal that presents different options and recommendations. We will be on hand to give advice and feedback on how best to move forward, integrating with any current initiatives or training.
Scoping and Planning
We will work closely with you to determine the best format for delivery, including the scheduling of workshops at times convenient for you to avoid busy periods and different work schedules. For example do you have people in multiple countries and time zones? We will also understand any tailoring of content, language, examples.
Engagement
Getting people involved at the earliest stage is critical as our programmes are based on self-nomination. We will run a series of engagement sessions to provide potential participants with all the information they need before they sign up, ensuring full understanding and commitment before the professional development training programme begins.
Onboarding
Our friendly team will be in close contact with key stakeholders and participants throughout the onboarding process. They will be available for any queries, and will organise joining instructions, work materials and any pre-course information as needed. This ensures a smooth onboarding process ready for the programme start.
Delivery
Our expert facilitators will guide participants through the interactive workshops and create a safe space for feedback and sharing. They will use their wealth of experience to ensure each participant is getting the most from the professional development training programme and where relevant work with guest speakers to share their inspiring stories, which can be identified within your organisation or we can arrange.
Quality Assurance
Following each workshop, we send a pulse check survey to each participant to ensure they are getting the right experience, to mitigate any potential challenges but also highlight any areas of opportunity proactively. We will be in communication with key stakeholders ensuring the programme is delivered seamlessly.
Measuring Success
Following completion of the programme we share an evaluation form with all participants which considers the impact of the programme and captures qualitative feedback. This is collated in a comprehensive report that is then shared with you, clearly detailing the outcomes of the programme. We do this again 12 months later to allow time for embedding and application of the learnings.
Celebrating Achievements
We strongly encourage organisations to host a celebratory event that brings together participants, guest speakers and all those involved in the professional training programme. This is a great way to extend the networking and share experiences. We can also support with building success stories, by gathering testimonials and case studies to really shout about the achievements and use to encourage others for future courses.
Ongoing Partnership
Your dedicated account manager will keep in touch with you throughout and will be able to advise on how participants can progress from their programmes. They will be able to provide consultancy on next steps and sustaining the impact of the programmes, whatever your organisational goals. We take a partnership approach to working with our clients and are keen to establish long term relationships.

Consultancy Support FAQs
What is a professional development consultancy?
Professional development consultancies help organisations identify skills gaps, design tailored training courses and CPD programmes, and implement strategies that enhance both individual and organisational growth. At Springboard Consultancy, we provide customised solutions that align with your goals.
How do CPD courses benefit my organisation?
CPD courses (Continuing Professional Development) ensure your employees keep their skills current and relevant. By investing in CPD, organisations create a culture of continuous learning that drives success.
How is success from professional development training measured?
Measuring success is critically important to understanding the impact the programme has had and clearly demonstrate how it has made a real difference. We carry out post programme surveys upon completion of the course and then again 12 months later, capturing unique insights into what each participant has gained and taken away. This will include learning outcomes, achievements, success stories and will tie into what the organisation aimed to deliver overall as part of the consultation and scoping. Through these effective reports and reviews, organisations will see a tangible return on investment and be able to showcase measurable change.
