What is an mKTP?
Management KTPs (mKTPs) work much the same as a classic KTP, creating a dynamic three-way partnership between a business, a team of academic experts and a skilled graduate. The focus is specifically on driving effectiveness through better management practices.
As we all know, effective management can transform business performance. Always key, this has never been more important than now as we navigate the changes brought about by the impact of Covid-19 and Brexit. The Management KTP (mKTP) can be a powerful tool for businesses.
More people-focused, and designed to trigger culture change, they can enable transformational improvement by identifying strategic, management-based initiatives that increase business resilience, agility, and expand management effectiveness.
Management KTPs are being used by a wide range of businesses in all sectors of the economy and right across the UK. Each one is customised to the particular needs of a company, offering a flexible mechanism that can deliver real, positive change.
Who could benefit from an mKTP?
- Growth-oriented SMEs
- Businesses seeking significant productivity gains
- Organisations looking to up-skill their people and make step-change improvements in productivity
