⭐ A productive few days for the LDC.... We held a Best Practice Group event at Tong Garden Centre ( Yorkshire Garden Centres). We have followed this GREAT organisation over recent years – they are certainly intentional about building their #culture. A big thank you as always to Neil Barwise–Carr, People & Culture Director. Thank you to our member organisations for their commitment and input – Powell (UK), BKCAT, Greencore & The Foundation of Light. 👏 Finally thanks to Mark Dewhurst (Simply Culture) for facilitating the event. ➡️ Our next event was held at the Beacon of Light – home to the Foundation of Light (Official Charity of Sunderland AFC).

Great input from our guest speakers and a big thank you for their support. 🌟Professor Richard Harris (Durham University Business School) 🌟Phill Capewell (Society Matters CIC) 🌟Jamie Wright (Foundation of Light) 🌟Faye Docherty (Foundation of Light) 🌟David Pattison (Sunderland City Council) 🌟Luke Bramhall (Newcastle Carers) An engaging discussion with the group and exploring how they might build on this experience.

👋 On behalf of the Learning & Development Consortium, I would like to introduce myself and say how much I am looking forward to working with everyone. 🤩My name is Laura, and I’ve been working with the LDC since September, mainly supporting Graham Scott & Laura Scott with everyday tasks and beginning to introduce new systems that will enhance our levels of service and communications. I’m very much aware that Graham has developed the LDC based on relationships and providing excellent support to our member organisations. I’ll be taking responsibility for the following areas: ✅ Managing the detail associated with our Best Practice Groups ☑️ Introduction of our new Teams channel ✅ Requesting POs and issuing invoices ☑️ Organising Graham’s schedule ✅ Website updates ☑️ Event reminders ✅ Supporting our BPG leads Graham has suggested a job title – Head of Attention To Detail!! We have formed an LDC Leadership Group and I’m also a member of this group. The LDC continues to grow and Graham needs to play a strategic role – delegating the detailed tasks to me. Members of the LDC Leadership Group are also beginning to get more involved in key areas of the business. The LDC had a brilliant and productive 2024 and 2025 has already got off to a positive start. “A community of ambitious organisations, learning and improving together“ Look forward to speaking with you all soon. Regards Laura ➡️ laurarsimpson@ldconsortium.com

What a way to finish off the year.... 🎄Graham Scott headed to the Beacon of Light Sunderland to join their Wear Together and Seated Chair Exercise participants for a Christmas #Baking event. 🎅 What a wholesome experience pairing up and baking Chocolate Tear-and-Share Christmas Trees. Our relationship with the Foundation of Light (SAFC) has been brilliant in 2024 and we look forward to more great work in 2025!

👏🏻 A big thank you to everyone involved for creating such an inspiring event. #OrganisationalCulture #Leadership
We had the pleasure to host The Learning & Development Consortium this week with guests from Nissan Motor Corporation, Greencore and Ardagh Group amongst a fantastic group of organisational leaders. The event provided a truly inspiring exchange about intentional organisational cultures and how to develop them. 💡 Susanne Braun from our Centre for Leadership and Followership highlighted the evidence basis for creating spaces for identity development https://brnw.ch/21wPn3b 💡 Sue Boyd, Head of our Centre for Executive Education, shared the most recent developments in our programmes across the board, from Senior Leader Apprenticeship to tailored and open programmes as well as our new Leading People-centric Change short course! https://brnw.ch/21wPn7j 💡 What are catalysts of culture when people work away from the office? We learned from Stefanie Reissner how hybrid working can weaken organisational culture, but that this should not deter employers from offering these work arrangements. 💡 How does culture work at Durham University Business School? Martyna Śliwa shared how we embed the Ethics, Responsibility and Sustainability agenda in our day-to-day work to enhance global equity, prosperity, and well-being. 💡 Julie Hodges, leading international expert on change in organisations, shared lessons about 'People-Centric Organisational Change' https://brnw.ch/21wPn3j 💡 Graham Scott and Mark Dewhurst supported businesses to devise their cultural action plans for 2025 and how to create impact from those plans. We look forward to 2025, and continuing our conversations around shaping projects in organisational culture, first line leader development, and organisational productivity! #organisationalcultures #leadership #executiveeducation
