Celebrating 20 Years in Business

Yes it‟s hard to believe that it is now 20 years since the owners of bpi, Ken and Sonia Jones, cleared the dishes off the kitchen table and started work to offer businesses high quality consultancy and training services. The kitchen table is long gone, but the commitment to the highest quality standards still remains. To back up this statement, a recent survey of our existing clients came back with the clear message; that they recognised bpi training as delivering a high quality product at a low price. We are thrilled that we have recently won the tender for the National Assembly‟s contract for Leadership and Management Development Workshops for South East and Mid Wales, which means that businesses in these areas can receive up to 70% funding on any of our Leadership and Management Training programmes. This booklet provides a small sample of the type of training that you could undertake under the programme, as well as some of the other training we deliver. It also shows the incredibly low price you now have to pay. If you can‟t find what you are looking for, please contact us and we would be only to happy to provide you with the solution you require.

Kind Regards Ken Jones Chairman bpi group

Influencing Skills for Senior Managers

Influencing skills are used by all of us every day and in many different situations. Every situation has an impact or influence on each of us and to a differing degree. The objective is to understand the power of influencing and maximise the positive impact that it can bring to our working lives.

This 1 day course will enable delegates to learn about their own influencing style

and practice how to use different styles of influence so as to compensate rather than compromise.

Course Content

Principles of influence, Compensate rather than compromise, First impressions count, Status, Stick to your guns but know when to give some ground.

From a business perspective there are times we need people to see things differently or we need to get people to do things that we want them to do e.g. negotiations on contracts, price, terms and conditions……do you hold out for all you want or give some measure back?

A major element of influencing is negotiation. Persuasiveness is the key to successful influencing.

Other Health and Safety Courses

Every Employer has a legal duty to protect the health and safety of their employees. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires you to provide whatever information, instruction, training and supervision that are necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of your employees. This is extremely important as the Health and Safety (Offences) Act 2008, creates the threat of imprisonment for all managers and employees who may have contributed to a health and safety offence by their consent, participation or neglect.

Am I Eligible for Funding?

To be eligible for the Leadership Management Development Workshop (LMDW) Funding which is part funded by The Welsh Assembly Government and part funded by ESF it is a requirement that the organisation receiving the grant does not receive more than 50 % of its core funding from the Public Sector, e.g. Welsh Assembly Government, Local Authority or European Programmes. Core Finding is defined as „Financing required for the basic structure of an organization, including salaries of full-time staff, facilities, equipment, communications, and the direct expenses of day-to-day work‟. If you receive more than 50 % of your funding through this way then unfortunately you will not be eligible for the funding through the LMDW scheme due to European Laws on double funding. However, if you receive money from the Welsh Assembly or ESF via contracts which you have been awarded through tendering this is not classified as Core Funding and you will still be eligible. The company also needs to be located within Wales to be eligible for the funding. If you have any queries about your eligibility please do not hesitate to contact one the bpi sales team on 01685 884175
