What is the Performance Development Group Leadership Academy?

The PDG Leadership Academy is a unique online training and development resource offering guided learning, a body of knowledge, a reference tool, personal feedback and a regular magazine all in one. Updated every month with new material, it aims to help everyone, particularly working managers, improve their management knowledge and leadership skills.

Who is it for?

Anyone who wants to progress in leadership and management roles. Whether you are a potential manager, a supervisor, junior, middle or even a senior manager, there will be something for you here.

What are the benefits?

Our Leadership Academy is available online to its users 24/7, 365 days a year. It is updated 10 times a year. Its primary use it to encourage participants to continue and expand their learning, to follow interests that are triggered through their development programmes - and to return to the Academy to learn more, prompted by ongoing coaching via their line manager or PDG coach.

The ROI derived from our Academy is incredibly high. We are using proven material which will show direct cash savings for little outlay. Obviously the actual ROI will depend on your company circumstances, but essentially we offer a year’s learning at less than the cost of one day’s formal training - online and on demand.

We provide a management process by which you can add and subtract users as people join or leave your organisation. You are charged by 'number of users' but we measure this by person years so that a new user added through the management system nine months into the contract year will be billed at only 25% of the annual price.

Once a company buys into "The PDG Leadership Academy", it gets all the material on a vast range of management topics with no further cost. Just about whatever topic interests a manager will be covered somewhere on the site.
Learning needs to happen over a length of time, not just packed into a few hours. We add new content monthly so that people are motivated to pop-in to see what is new.

Over 80% of organisations now encourage learners to take more responsibility for their own learning and development according to the CIPD’s 2006 Learning and development survey. However, this can only be effective if organisations introduce initiatives to encourage a learning culture, according to Martyn Sloman, CIPD Learning and Development Adviser. The PDG leadership Academy offers your business and its employee’s access to one of the worlds leading development resources at the click of a button.
