Our Company has some of the most advanced capabilities in term of technology and project management, but values successful internal communication between teams as most critical to business success.

Improving communication is an area in which Vivid Red excels and having worked with them in a previous company I knew they would be invaluable in helping us, and they were.

Our teams were left with a clearer understanding of the value to them and the business of good communication and also the necessary tools and confidence to help them overcome barriers to communicating effectively in their every day working environments.

I would recommend Vivid Red to anyone who needs to achieve more by improving working relationships.

Five years ago, we had to demonstrate to our main customer that we had the right people with the right skills managing the contract.

Vivid Red designed and managed a process that put over 300 managers and supervisors through an assessment centre.

From this, they designed bespoke, business focused, development programmes for Leadership and Management Skills.

Since then the programmes have successfully been delivered to some 200 people from supervisors to senior managers.

The relationship we have with Vivid Red has continued to develop, and their flexible partnership approach has resulted in us looking to them to work with us in other areas.

As a rapidly growing business we value our people and it’s important for us to have development initiatives which deliver results.

Vivid Red has worked with us in delivering focused development to our employees and has delivered what the business needed.

We have seen the real benefits in the projects managed by Vivid Red and the people who have worked with their consultants are now contributing more to the future success of the business.

Whenever we identify a business issue which would benefit from an external consultant’s input, our first port of call is Vivid Red.

When we were looking at enhancing the skills of our management team, we were delighted with the methodology that Vivid Red employed to identify the gaps and produce an interesting, interactive programme to address the issues – including a well thought out follow-up plan to ensure that the new skills and self-confidence were reinforced.

They are now helping us to develop skills at a higher level that will ensure the continued development of the people and the operation.

Vivid Red’s consultants were recommended to us – having now worked with them, I can see why.

The team at Vivid Red has worked with us in a number of areas.
Most notable was the assistance they gave us in developing a strategy for the operation.

This was done using a process which not only gave us a clear plan to follow, but had the effect of aligning, increasing the commitment of and building Team Working in the senior team, and assisted in the improvement activities in the business.

They have also helped us with communication plans, developing Team Leader skills and dramatically reducing our absence levels.

Time and time again, Vivid Red has shown us that their commitment is to helping us achieve what we want to achieve.

Following a major reorganisation, our Site Manager was concerned that the management team were unsettled by the changes and the perception that their career and development opportunities had been reduced.

We discussed options with Vivid Red’s consultants of how to support the senior team through this time and agreed that executive coaching was the best option.

Each manager was encouraged to develop a personal development plan, and as a result we have seen improvements in the way that the managers are now coaching and supporting their own team members with their own personal learning and development.

We found Vivid Red’s consultants to be professional, candid and principled in their coaching and the relationships they developed with us.
