We focus on integrating and distilling best thinking and practice as it befits organisational need – rather than limit leadership development options to exclusive models and approaches.
We believe that leadership is contextual and individual and that development must reflect this. A one size fits all approach is not going to work.
In helping organisations to identify and scope the priorities that align with their culture, strategies and objectives, our framework for leadership and development is an important access point.

We build learning pathways and journeys using the most appropriate and cost effective range of development methods - based on our clients’ specific challenges and requirements.
Development methodologies
Face-to-face training, seminars and workshops
We design sessional training to meet your specific challenges, strategies and culture, delivered by our consultants, or in partnership with your own specialists and teams.
E-learning
Working with selected partners we blend e-learning elements into your management and leadership development, enhancing the learning transfer with carefully considered use of technology.
Facilitated workshops and group/team events
We work alongside you to steer group discussions, meetings, events and change processes. We work as facilitators to help induce a more positive, productive or creative environment.
1:1 coaching
Discreet, targeted and highly impactful individual development that delivers long-term change and transformed performance.
Career coaching
Our consultants offer coaching to help with the challenges of new appointments, promotion and role transition. We also help individuals prepare for competency-based applications and provide interview coaching.
Action learning
To help individuals, teams and organisations respond more effectively to change, catalyse fresh thinking and promote new ways of looking at situations. Sessions run alongside training and coaching – or independently, depending on need.
Supporting on-the-job learning
An essential part of facilitating the transfer of learning into the workplace - this can include the involvement of line managers, project work and mentoring.
ACTivate™ and role play theatre
Actor-led role-plays bring an added dimension of realism to face-to-face learning. JSB’s team of talented role-play actors work alongside our consultants or directly with you on your own in-house development programmes and events.
