Tetramap at Women in Management- co-presented with Jane Honeybourne,         26 August 2009
'Carole & Jane, I just wanted to say a sincere thank you to both of you for providing such a useful and enjoyable session on Tetramap last evening.  I thought your presentation style was exactly what was called for and the interactivity worked extremely well. 

It's always interesting to have an insight into how we think and approach things.  I thoroughly enjoyed the session and it really reminded me of some key elements in behavioural awareness for effective team working.

A great job well done.'                                         Sue Crabtree, Crucial Management Services Ltd.

'The excellent competency dictionary has been very well received and taken on board by people at all levels across the company, with very positive feedback from all interviewees.'

'Just a quickie to thank you for the evening on Friday.  It was very interesting and although my teachers were initially reluctant to do a team building activity, they were all drawn in and thoroughly enjoyed it.'

You are set for growth but you may not be sure that the people and systems you have in place will fully help you to get where you want to go...

Bridge Marketing Partnership helps clients to develop their management teams and improve relationships with people at all levels of the organisation.

Clarifying the vision
We run exercises to help management teams expressly formulate the vision they have for the kind of company they want. Staff are brought on board by joining project teams to make the vision a reality.

Motivation and Performance Management
We work with a number of small to medium-sized companies to develop competency frameworks and appraisal systems tailored to their needs - systems that really work for the client. Results of developing a competency framework can be a simple two-page dictionary of those competencies required by the company for its future growth and success to fully documented booklets showing levels of competence required for different roles within the company.

HR Management

Bridge Marketing Partnership can be a great source of help to an organisation's HR management needs - whether you outsource your HR to Bridge Marketing Partnership or  use Bridge Marketing Partnership to coach new line managers and/or inexperienced HR managers.  Our services include development of staff handbooks, writing HR policies and procedures, providing advice and guidance in handling disciplinary issues and tribunal cases and resolving employee issues through investigation and mediation.

Research
With Sunley Management Centre, we were involved in a European-funded project to research the recruitment methods of companies with fewer than 50 employees. We helped develop a competency framework to assist companies from recruitment through to performance management. At the time of the project, recruitment was not recognised as an issue within the Investors in People standard. We are pleased to see that today IIP publish The Recruitment and Selection Model - a good practice guide to getting the people you need.  We have also undertaken a number of salary surveys and staff surveys.  Mintel have published four reports written by Carole.

Management Development
We have many years' experience, from earlier days at Price Waterhouse and Aston University to more current times, of assessing training and development needs and designing, delivering or recommending programmes to help improve the performance of managers and staff.

Communication
We act as facilitators for organisations' staff days, team building events and business meetings. Clients have included a housing association, a distribution firm working through dealerships, charities, and a sound engineering training and recording company.  This work has been more recently progressed by Carole's accreditation as a TetraMap facilitator.
