Take the step towards building a high-performing and trusted HR team – amplify the impact of your team and align your business partnering approach to business needs of your key stakeholders – take your business partnering to the next level.
Experts in change. Builders of trust. Leaders in collaboration.
Enhancing your HR / People & Culture operations starts with trust: trust in each other and in the team’s capabilities. Consistently executing the basics of business partnering is crucial. When you get these fundamentals right, building sustainable and proactive relationships with stakeholders becomes easier. Just like in life, trust is earned through consistency and respect. Focus on these essentials, and your team, like a well-coached high performing team, will thrive.
The HR / People & Culture Business Partnering Impact Program is designed to empower your team with the tools, frameworks and mindset to become trusted experts in driving organisational change. This development initiative targets HR generalists, Communication experts, L&D, OD, Employee Experience, Recruitment and Talent Acquisition, Rewards and ER/IR professionals.
SOME COMPANIES WE’VE PARTNERED WITH
What makes this HR / People & Culture Business Partnering Training Unique?
Firstly, we specialise in developing business partners. It’s what we do and what we do well.
It’s what drives us. We are dedicated to building those foundational principles of business partnering with all our participants and their leaders.
We achieve this through a blend of research-backed frameworks, practical tools, and real-world insights. But it’s not just about the methods – we have real conversations that focus on building trust within the team. Above all, we prioritise taking action. It’s about doing something different to get a positive result. Because in the end, it’s action that makes all the difference. Positive change doesn’t happen by chance.
So if you’re looking at amplifying your team’s capability, if you’re responsible with driving change across the business, or if you’re leading a new team of HR and People and Culture Business Partners and want to get them ‘talking’ the same language of business partnering – then we’d like to hear from you.

CORE PROGRAM MODULES

BUSINESS

It covers essential aspects of what are the core elements of a business model, helping you make informed decisions that support the overall business strategy.

UNDERSTAND YOUR
STAKEHOLDERS
Without trust, technical skills alone won't suffice.
Building and nurturing trusted business relationships across all business functions is a foundational capability for all HR and P&C professionals – regardless of seniority. This module focuses on the role HR business partners play in building relationships with internal stakeholders and their People and Culture colleagues. We prioritise trust-building, building fit for purpose communication skills, and creating a strong presence in stakeholder relationships for maximum impact and team and individual success.
UNDERSTAND YOUR
MACRO WORLD
Understanding the external influences to improve decision-making.
Business decisions are influenced by internal and external factors across different industries, markets and geographies. This module focuses on building a strong “outside-in” view of the world, and how macro-environmental factors impact a company’s direction and the HR team’s influence and decision-making. A solid understanding of the macro factors that can impact the organisation, is critical to effective HR/P&C decision making.
HR / PEOPLE & CULTURE
BUSINESS PARTNERING TOOLKIT
Build high impact skills for greater stakeholder effectiveness.
This module will introduce you to tools like the ACDC Contextual Partnering Model to help identify and understand the different delivery modes of a business partner depending on the work and stakeholder context. These tools provide participants a valuable insight into their personal preferences, and how they can build a strong internal personal brand by leveraging the different modes of business partnering in the right context.
THE ART OF DATA
STORYTELLING
A vital “life” skill for all HR and People & Culture Teams
Storytelling plays an increasing role in all work contexts and done well, helps transform the impact business partners have on their business. Refining this lost skill of storytelling can unleash a HR/P&C team’s ability to collaborate effectively and influence better outcomes for the overall business. This fosters a high-performance environment driven by action and tangible results, not just ideas.
KNOW & MEASURE
THE VALUE YOU DELIVER
The core ingredient to driving team & stakeholder success
To know you’re having an impact, you need to know how to articulate and measure the value your team delivers as HR business partners. It’s knowing the trade-offs you make around what you do and what you don’t do as a team. This makes all the difference to stakeholders. This module shares some high impact frameworks to use in assessing the value HR/P&C Business Partners deliver individually and as a team.
