I hope you all (in the Northern Hemisphere anyway) had a great summer and were able to get a proper break after a couple of tough years. At first it seemed strangely quiet. During the pandemic period people still seemed to work in the summer and the need to develop people was urgent so decisions got made quickly. This year things slowed down a lot.<\/p>\n

At first we were a bit worried about how quiet it was, however, when we looked back at past trends we realised we were just going back to how things used to be before COVID, and we enjoyed the lull. Its hard to work flat out all year and the training delivery year usually has quieter periods in summer and at year end where we can catch up and do longer term development work, and even go on holiday.<\/p>\n

However, we also know what happens next. As our clients come back from vacations their minds inevitably turn to what they need to achieve before year end, and as September begins our phones and emails are getting busier.<\/p>\n

The more organized of them are also kicking off their strategic planning processes and starting to think about longer term people development for a post-COVID environment.<\/p>\n

We are seeing several priorities from our contacts in the run up to the end of 2022 and into next year<\/p>\n
