Most disputes about embedding corporate values begin as a conversation that was handled badly. A process for this aspect of people management and development that managers quietly work around has already failed. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this strand of people management and development to standardise and which to leave flexible. Participants who influence embedding corporate values without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The programme takes participants through the people management and development capability end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Organisations that document the wider people management and development agenda properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about embedding corporate values in their own setting. Buying a tool rarely fixes this part of people management and development; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the wider people management and development agenda that participants can repeat annually.
