Management Analysis and Planning - MAP

Research has consistently shown that improved management practice leads to increased business productivity. In a busy schedule, management development often suffers - and that's exactly where the MAP programme helps your business by providing a good, structured, flexible approach to identifying and addressing your company needs.

The MAP programme is specifically designed for small to medium-sized enterprises (10 to 250 employees). An analysis of your business is carried out on-site by a professional business adviser, who will provide you with a report detailing your:

  • Management/leadership strengths and weaknesses;
  • Areas for development; and
  • Management/leadership skills gaps.

Most importantly, you will receive a training and development plan highlighting practical, achievable solutions to any areas that need attention.

Programme benefits

MAP can:

  • help increase business performance and profitability;
  • provide a greater understanding of the management and leadership issues within your business;
  • highlight areas of concern;
  • recommend constructive, positive solutions; and
  • provide funding towards activities set out in your training and development plan.

The Costs?

The Department for Employment and Learning will met the cost of business analysis, (itself worth £1,000) and will provide up to a further £6,000 of funding (on a 40% basis), towards development activities arising from the completed training and development plan. From 2 March 2009, for a limited period, the Department will provide financial assistance of up to £6,000 on a 100% basis, towards development activities arising from the completed training and development plan.
