Our solutions will enable individuals and teams to effectively adapt to the changing landscape and maintain a keen focus on performance and results
There is no doubt that virtually every individual and business globally is being affected by the current crisis. The impact is wide ranging, changing employment circumstances, physical working locations and patterns, communication, collaboration and normal day-to-day habits. Things change daily and the future is unknown. Economic forces are challenging businesses large and small and across every sector globally. It is highly unlikely that the way people operate ‘normally’ will never be the same again.
Based on our conversations with clients and business leaders , we have put together some key resources, solutions and information designed to help leaders, managers and front-line client facing professionals navigate through the turbulence and deliver continued effective results. They can help you and your teams with well-being, adaptability, productivity and staying in control.
Real-time, connected learning and performance development solutions
We have been successfully delivering our existing learning and performance solutions through virtual interfaces, either as part of longer term leadership and management initiatives or as stand-alone solutions. The functionality includes polling, interactive surveys and breakout rooms which means that face-to-face interaction is effectively replicated and individuals can maintain connection with their organisation and teams.
In addition to leadership and management development, popular stand-alone solutions include:
- Managing virtual teams
- Effective virtual meetings
- Leading through the lockdown
- Effective client conversations

Testimonials
The GroGroup have been working with us for several years. They have played a vital and positive role in helping us develop and deliver our learning and development offer to support our people in their performance and career development. They have provided refreshing insights, expertise and challenge, which have contributed significantly to the processes we now have in place and are highly valued by our people.
They have shown great flexibility in supporting us on a broad range of successful projects and activities covering strategy, board development, leadership, commercial and business development across all levels of the business. We have built a very solid and valued relationship with them.
Having worked on several projects with the team at theGrogroup, I’ve had first hand experience of the positive return they can provide by developing and running interventions that are completely aligned to what a business wants to achieve. Projects have included strategic planning and developing a ‘one team’ culture across a firm facing regional challenges. Through focusing on collaboration of service lines, a £1million new work fee opportunity was created. I really value the expertise of the team who continue to regularly share insights and thought leadership, and their understanding of the professional services market and the issues firms are facing is second to none.
We have been working with theGrogroup for over 5 years on a variety of performance initiatives across our business; they demonstrate a great understanding of professional services organisations and are excellent at listening and interpreting our needs and delivering solutions with great energy.
