Zurich
We were fortunate to begin our relationship with Zurich Insurance by working with the top team. This gave us a tremendous opportunity to fully understand the vision and direction of the business, as expressed by those who are ultimately responsible. Specifically we were asked, on this first assignment, to contribute to the 2014 Leadership Team Conference in Miami. This event brought together 140 of the most senior members of the Zurich global leadership team. Our input to this event involved the design and facilitation of Forum Theatre workshops, spread across the three-day event, acting as a ‘golden thread’, linking together the conference themes.
Following this piece of work, TiA was offered a Global Master Agreement for the delivery of leadership programmes, targeted specifically at managers who were potential successors to the various Country Leadership Teams around the world. The first of these programmes was delivered in Milan in 2015 using a multi-module, experiential approach, combined with individual coaching and learning support, offered between modules.
In 2017 we were awarded a contract for the design and delivery of a senior leadership programme, aimed at Country Leadership Team members, which have now successfully rolled out across a global platform, with delivery in the USA, South America, APAC and EMEA.Our work with Zurich Insurance highlights the embedded nature of the relationship we have with our key clients; working together to produce a bespoke and business relevant experience.
Partnering with TIA has been a great experience. Their expertise in this field is obvious and Chris and his team share a real passion for the subject. Their commitment to the program impact has been apparent since we started program design and their delivery in the field is just as powerful.

Credit Suisse
We began working with Credit Suisse in 2009, facilitating a team development workshop for the Head of Shared Services Institute. This lead to an invitation to deliver the initial module in a global leadership programme, aimed at Emerging Talent in the bank's Finance Office (CFO).
The three-day leadership module proved extremely successful and was subsequently followed by a further two-day interpersonal skills module. On the back of this success, the programmehas been rolled out to other parts of the bank, including the bank's Risk Office (CRO) and Capital Markets, where we deliver two modules in the annual Associate Promotion Programme.
On the back of this success, the programme has been rolled out to other parts of the bank, including the bank’s Risk Office (CRO).
In each case the programme, which includes an outdoor experiential element and actor-based role-play, is delivered from four regional centres; Zurich, London, New York and Singapore.
If I had to choose between a full bonus or taking this course,I would opt for the course – certain that I would more than recover this investment in future years through improved performance.

Could not have achieved this level of awareness and personal development in a month of Sundays!

Rolls Royce
TiA have worked with Rolls Royce since 2009, delivering team development and leadership events for the Nuclear Sector and the IT Division, and as a key provider on the International Business Awareness Course (IBAC).
Our work within Nuclear and IT has been at Executive Board level, supporting team development. This has subsequently lead to work with the wider leadership team and operational teams within the Nuclear Sector.
TiA's involvement in the International Business Awareness Course has taken us to a variety of international locations, including Vietnam and India where we have partnered with Darden Business School from Virginia, USA in delivering this prestigious, high potentials programme.
I use TiA on a regular basis because I can trust them to deliver. They are thoughtful, thorough and very professional and I know that confidences will be fully respected.

Nationwide Building Society
Since 2004, TiA have been a key contributor to the Nationwide Graduate Programme, supplying experiential learning and development modules at venues around the UK.
The modules, which are two and three days in duration, are an integrated part of a two-year graduate management development programme. They take place at critical times in the graduates’ journey through the two years: induction, first leadership role, setting up for success post-programme.
The content has focused on Leadership, Followership and High Performance Teamwork. We have used a challenging and inspiring mix of outdoor exercises, peer feedback, review and discussion to build the knowledge, skills and confidence the graduates will need in their future as leaders within the business.
The care and concern TiA show for making the programmes what we want – rather than just ‘what they provide’ – is one of the key reasons we value and enjoy working with them.

Inmarsat
Our first piece of work with this market leader in global broadband communication was in Dubai 2004, where we delivered a team development workshop for the Regional Sales Team.
Since this time we have worked with a number of Regional Teams and the Executive Board in the UK and mainland Europe.
I have always found TiA to be trustworthy, professional and pragmatic in their approach. They listen and are flexible to our changing needs, and their commitment to our business has been exemplary.

London Business School
TiA have been working with London Business School since 2004, providing a team development and relationship building event for the Sloan Programme.
The event is held annually at the front end of the 12-month Sloan Programme which is run by London Business School for Senior Managers. The group size is normally around 60 people and the event is conference based over a period of two days.
This programme is a good example of how TiA brings experiential learning into a conference environment, using exercises designed for large groups operating indoors. One such exercise is 'Matrix', where the group is split into four mixed teams – each working as a business unit with specific profit-centre targets. The wider agenda is to maximise organisational performance, but for this to happen each business unit needs to balance it’s own interests with those of the wider team.

We have worked closely with Willmott Dixon since 1998, delivering a core module on their Executive Management Development Programme as well as numerous other interventions including Executive Coaching assignments and working as team coach and facilitator for Local Construction Boards over a period of many years.
The Executive Management Development Programme is aimed at existing and aspiring Directors in the construction industry. The core element of this programme is a four day residential course, aimed at developing strategic leadership qualities and an ability to lead change.
The best leadership programme that I have ever attended.
