"Hardcastle & Associates created a bespoke programme for our Faculty Leadership Team to drive our strategic development in the face of the numerous challenges in the HE sector. In the process, the team got to know themselves and one another much better and improve its effectiveness. The programme challenged us to be ambitious and innovative in our strategic planning and we generated workable plans that we can take forward as a faculty as well as highlighting areas where we want to have university-wide influence. The tailored events were agile and able to adapt to our needs without compromising their integrity. They were filled with energy, enthusiasm and optimism – we also had a lot of fun!"
Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean Faculty of Business & Law, De Montfort University
