TRAINING FIRM GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO RUN ITS SESSIONS


A local firm which delivers ILM leadership and management training used the latest technology to make sure one of its delegates did not miss a vital training session. Prior to the introduction of


social distancing, Beyond Theory was running the latest session of its ILM (Institute of Leadership and


Management) Engaging Leadership training programme which it delivers for delegates at Milton Keynes Chamber’s training suite in Northampton. One delegate was unable to


attend in person so Beyond Theory senior consultant Paul Beesley set up a live, interactive video link so


they could take part. Paul said: “We’re all about


creative thinking and problem solving and we like to ‘walk the walk’. We made things happen to make sure the delegate would not miss out on the session. “Through the video link she played a full part in the course


which enabled her to complete her ILM accreditation. A true win-win.” The ILM course is designed for


team leaders and managers who need to increase their management skills, improve their leadership skills and boost their confidence in managing and developing others. Now that self-isolation and social distancing are becoming the norm, future ILM courses will be delivered online for the immediate future. A delegate who is studying the


ILM course said: “It’s great that it can be used to keep the training going.” As a response to Covid-19,


Beyond Theory has also designed 12 bite-size learning modules to help managers deal with self-isolation and social distancing. For details visit www.beyondtheory.co.uk

on finances that dwarfs the 2008 global crisis, so it’s vital to remember existing Government schemes that could provide a lifeline. R&D Tax Credits apply to every sector and


the great news is that eligibility is very broad. If you attempt to overcome technological or scientific ‘uncertainties’, you could potentially claim R&D Tax Credits, allowing you a lucrative annual claim of up to 33p for every £1 spent on qualifying projects. Fiscale are a leading R&D Tax Credit
