Strategic Review and Design
Humanworks works alongside senior leaders to strengthen organisational capability at a systemic level. Our strategic review and design work typically falls into the following areas.
1. Careers and Apprenticeship Strategy
For apprenticeship providers, education partners and organisations reviewing their careers provision.
We conduct structured reviews of existing practice, alignment and impact. This may include Gatsby Benchmark alignment, destination tracking strategy, inspection readiness, learner progression pathways and integration of careers education within curriculum design.
The outcome is a clear, coherent strategy that moves beyond compliance and into meaningful learner development.
2. Leadership and Capability Frameworks
For organisations seeking to define and embed the human skills required for performance and progression.
We design leadership capability frameworks that articulate expectations across levels, integrate coaching approaches and align development to organisational goals. This may include leadership pathway mapping, behavioural frameworks and embedded learning strategy.
The result is clarity. Leaders understand what good looks like and how to grow into it.
3. Programme Architecture and Learning Design
For organisations investing in development but seeking greater coherence and impact.
We design structured development programmes that connect strategy to delivery. This includes sequencing learning, defining outcomes, embedding reflection and ensuring measurable application in practice.
Our focus is sustainability. Development is not delivered in isolation but integrated into the wider organisational ecosystem.
Development Programmes and Workshops
Humanworks designs and delivers development that strengthens human capability in practice. Our programmes are grounded in organisational context and focused on real world application.
Our work in this area typically includes the following.
1. Leadership Development
Structured programmes for emerging, mid-level and senior leaders designed to strengthen confidence, clarity and capability.
Sessions focus on communication, decision making, accountability, coaching approaches, emotional intelligence and leading through change. We create space for reflection, challenge and practical experimentation so leadership capability grows in real time.
2. Human Skills Development
Focused development sessions designed to strengthen the core skills that underpin performance.
This includes collaboration, resilience, feedback, influencing, professional identity and career navigation. Whether delivered as standalone workshops or integrated into broader programmes, sessions are practical and directly connected to workplace context.
3. Off the Shelf Development Sessions
For organisations seeking high quality, ready to deliver sessions with strong design foundations.
We offer carefully structured sessions that can be delivered as part of existing programmes or as targeted interventions. These are adaptable to organisational context while maintaining clear outcomes and facilitation integrity.
Every session is designed to move beyond theory into applied capability.
Coaching and Coaching Capability
Humanworks supports organisations to embed coaching approaches into leadership practice and organisational culture.
We believe coaching is not an add on skill but a core leadership capability. Our work in this area strengthens the way leaders listen, question, challenge and develop others.
Our work typically includes the following.
1. Coaching Skills for Leaders
Structured coaching skills development for managers and leaders who want to move from directing to developing.
Sessions focus on questioning techniques, active listening, feedback conversations, accountability and creating reflective space. Leaders learn practical tools that can be applied immediately in one to one conversations and team settings.
The outcome is stronger performance, clearer communication and increased ownership within teams.
2. Leader as Coach Programmes
Longer form development designed to embed coaching as a sustained leadership practice.
These programmes combine input, supervised practice, reflection and real world application. Participants build confidence in holding developmental conversations and supporting progression within their teams.
Coaching becomes part of how leadership is enacted, not a standalone workshop.
3. Coaching Culture Development
Support for organisations seeking to integrate coaching principles into wider leadership and development strategy.
This may include defining coaching expectations, designing internal capability pathways or aligning coaching approaches to existing leadership frameworks.
The focus is long term integration, not short term training.
