On 1st December 2010 The Lloyds Banking Group “Experienced Managers Programme” developed, designed and delivered in collaboration with The Inspirational Development Group won the Financial World Innovation Award for “Innovation in Staff Development”.

‘EMP is a first-class example of a sustained and useful initiative. Good management engagement and adept execution makes this a stand-out management programme which helps reduce the cultural barriers seen in major companies, as well as achieving some impressive results’

Marc DonFrancesco - Judge

Following its launch in 2003 the initial success of the Experienced Managers Programme in Lloyds Banking Group led to the widening of its footprint across the organisation, the delivery of seven more years of success and a significant return on investment.

The programme is designed to take people from different parts of the business and build trust between them in order to facilitate good high performance teamwork. For this reason the first residential module is run at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and is aimed at building trust
and inclusion fast.

Each programme involves some thirty-plus middle and senior managers who undertake five,
three-day residential modules over 12 months and work in four teams to deliver ROI on quick-win projects that they choose themselves. The first 21 groups have delivered payback of over £20m.
By the end of 2011 over 800 participants will have been through this programme.

Objective 360° feedback measurements show steady levels of improvement over the seven years, manifested in increased strengths and reduced development needs.
