  6. Strategic Insight Project • Funded by the University of Westminster • Focus on training and development needs of frontline staff • In tandem with in-house workshops run by WBS • Agreed deliverables: draft template for full Training Needs Analysis (TNA) (1) for Grades 1-5 linking to future CPD/training programme development • Recommendations for other supporting requirements

  7. Strategic Insight Project Methods • A qualitative survey approach (1), based on action research (2) • Methods included semi-structured interviews and photographic image elicitation • Time frame: October 2012 to May 2013 (8 months) • Interviews: individual (x 6) and focus groups (x 3) with CEO, divisional directors and frontline staff (May 2013) • Thematic analysis and coding (3) • Desk research, including previous staff surveys and consultations

  8. Strategic Insight Project Findings (senior managers) (5) • Strong consensus on positive achievements of some programmes • Different views of the role of middle managers and training: not sufficiently involved OR too strict as gate-keepers • More business-like ways of working needed • ‘Silo mentality’ an obstacle • TNA should adopt a whole organisation and system perspective (1)
