“My objective was to invest in these talented leaders. What made the difference is the effort that Creative Metier made to co-design the leadership programme with us… I found the Creative Metier team to be very thorough, very client oriented because they really focussed on trying to understand what we wanted, and then also flexible because they did not just sell their own ideas, they actually listened to what we wanted and adapted to that. Every single member of the Senior Leadership Team came to me on their own initiative, to say how wonderful they thought it was.”

“Previously we focussed on connecting Small and Growing Businesses (SGBs) to larger corporates, but adopting a network approach, we realised that the SGBs could benefit from engagement with each other.  Through this work, we realised that by convening the right organisations and enabling them to collaborate while we step back, there is far greater impact, and that impact is cumulative. The impact on the businesses themselves has been tremendous; they are able to access more services and are driving their own collaborations within the network; we are seeing increased uptake of initiatives and activities and people keep coming back” 

“Working with Creative Metier has been an amazing experience. They have helped our leadership evaluate the way we lead and how we imagine the future of the organisation. They helped us think beyond our current situation and build programmes, structures and teams that can scale”

“I was really happy with the quality of what has been delivered from the in person training, both in actual content and in the quality of the facilitators; the depth that they bought is something that could not easily be replicated; the quality of facilitators and the coaches; the quality of what was presented and the process of working with the individual team; the flexibility in rethinking once COVID hit was highly appreciated. Whenever there was something I needed I could input; the whole process was collaborative”

“To summarise, metaphorically speaking, let’s take an orchestra for example, we have moved from trying to play all the instruments to bring some kind of melodies or music, to actually being the orchestra conductor. So, our role now is to ensure all members are given a position to bring out their strengths, it’s also to coordinate that all key areas have the right players in place. It’s being a central point of communication, it’s coordinating the connectivity and synergy between members. And for sure together, we have a nicer network value and impact over the last two years that we’ve been working with Creative Metier.”
