Management Development for Change at the Co-op
Redefining the way learning and development is done
About
Impact partnered with Co-op, one of the worlds largest consumer co- operatives and a leader in social enterprise, to redefine the way learning and development is done in the Food Retail Business and create inspirational new career pathways.
Objective
Through a structured dialogue, Impact and Co-op worked in partnership to research the current situation, assess future needs and design a progressive solution, to:
- bring to life the future ambition of the Co-op
- build a new, energised learning culture
- form the foundations for growth and change
Solution
Impact conducted extensive research and comprehensively mapped both the current situation at Co-op and the future needs of the business. Through workshops with 80 key stakeholders, the solution was further defined. A myriad of possible learning and development components were identified and developed in to clear Store Manager development pathways.
Result
The outcome of the project was a comprehensive companywide Learning Map and Chat Mat that communicated learning and career development opportunities to all colleagues clearly and consistently, improving the impact of learning and development initiatives.
