What We Do

Nine Dots works exclusively with these kinds of professionals as we see them as having the largest influence on the culture and performance of workplaces and organisations.

We have worked hard to be able to provide solutions to teams of people from one company or individuals from a variety of companies. Whether bespoke programmes, industry and globally recognised qualifications or even funded Apprenticeship Programmes, we are always able to help.

Developing Leaders and Managers

Leaders and Managers have multiple and complex accountabilities: to support and develop their teams, to work with internal and external stakeholders, to deliver results for the organisation, and to support their own managers and leaders in delivering on strategic objectives. Leadership teams have a profound effect on the experience of the entire workforce, and it is therefore imperative that they are well selected and well trained.

We work with aspiring and new managers all the way through to senior leaders and directors.

Focusing on 3 Key Areas of Competency:

• Leadership and management of people
  • Skills like: coaching, mentoring, delegation, motivation, team development, performance management
• Leadership and management of business
  • Skills like: project management, change management, strategic thinking, strategic planning, problem solving
• Personal Effectiveness
  • Skills like: communication, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, conflict management

Creating well-rounded, transformational, and inspirational leaders that are able to achieve performance from their team and for their organisation requires the development of all 3 areas over the course of their careers.

Developing HR Professionals

Human Resources professionals must strike a number of delicate balances with their skills and their approach to their role:

They must ensure compliance with policies and processes while remaining human, empathetic, and engaging the workforce; they must protect and reinforce the organisational structure while simultaneously looking to develop it to respond to the needs of the future; and they must promote opportunity and development for all while also ensuring performance and behavioural standards are maintained.

Maintaining this balance and managing organisational risk is critical for HR Professionals and HR Leaders; and while there are many different approaches to development, none are more powerful for careers or more relied upon by organisations as the CIPD qualifications.

For this reason, we focus on and offer the following qualifications in partnership with HRC-Online:

• Level 3 HR Support Apprenticeship (learn more)
• Level 5 People Professional Apprenticeship – CIPD Associate Diploma (learn more)
