We are delighted to announce that we have been named a finalist in the British Training Awards...
Building better teams starts with how we learn
At Vantage Point, we believe that people don’t just power a business - they shape its future. That’s why learning and development isn’t a tick-box exercise here; it’s a philosophy. A strategy. And above all, a commitment.
Training is core to our model as a Hire-Train-Deploy (HTD) business, but our investment in growth goes far deeper than preparing consultants for client assignment. We see development as a shared responsibility, embedded in culture, shaped by fundamental human needs, and fuelled by the conviction that when people grow, performance follows.
A tailored approach to building skills and trust
One of our most meaningful internal initiatives was a tailored programme to strengthen collaboration across our Head Office team - a hybrid workforce spanning functions, locations, and work styles.
We weren’t just after efficiency - we wanted empathy. A team that understands each other’s strengths and stretch points, and where collaboration feels natural, not forced.
So, we designed a development journey grounded in insight, not assumptions:
-
Individual coaching to explore purpose, strengths, and professional goals
-
Team workshops focused on communication dynamics and high-performing behaviours
-
Proven models including CliftonStrengths, Belbin’s Team Roles, and Transactional Analysis
-
Real-time feedback loops to keep the experience adaptive, practical, and personal
It wasn’t training for training’s sake. It was a catalyst for clarity, connection, and momentum.
The ripple effect: what changed
The programme wasn’t just a fun morale boost. It shifted how we work — and the numbers back it up:
-
70% of participants reported stronger awareness of their communication style
-
57% experienced more collaborative, effective teamwork
-
Our bi-annual engagement survey showed a 20% increase in agreement with:
“I am given opportunities to develop skills relevant to my role and interests.”
One participant shared:
“Collaborating with others in the team has been easier. I now understand how they think and tackle problems, which makes working together more efficient and enjoyable.”
And we’re not alone. Industry data confirms the power of well-designed learning programmes:
Investing in people, always
We strongly believe development isn’t a one-off. It’s an ongoing relationship with potential: yours, ours, and the teams we support.
Whether we’re preparing consultants for complex client environments or strengthening the foundations of our HO team, we know that transformation doesn’t begin with process. It begins with people.
If you're rethinking how your organisation approaches learning and development, or looking for a partner who sees training as strategic, not superficial, we’d love to talk.
