L&D leads
you are
Responsible for making learning work across your organisation or department, ensuring it’s impactful, cost-effective and aligned with strategy.
You may run internal development, commission external programmes or manage workforce capability more broadly. You understand what good learning looks like and what gets in the way of it. What you need are external partners who add capability without adding complexity or risk.
we are
A collective of experienced trainers and coaches who design and deliver team-based professional development programmes for public sector organisations.
We design bespoke CPD-accredited programmes built around each team’s live work and priorities, offering full-cycle support from design to evaluation, compliant procurement through CCS and YPO frameworks, and the reliability of a well-resourced infrastructure with the flexibility of a small senior team.
how we add value
-
training that drives delivery
We use teams’ live projects and materials as the training content, so development time moves work forward instead of pulling people away from it.
-
alignment with your agenda
Programmes are built around your organisation’s priorities, language and systems, creating relevance that off-the-shelf training can’t match.
-
impact you can evidence
Outcomes are agreed at the start and reported at the end. Combined with the GC Index, this helps you evidence the impact of the work you commissioned.
-
expertise you can trust
Programmes designed and delivered by specialists with deep public sector experience who understand your context and deliver with authority.
-
continuity across programmes
Our associates work as one integrated team, sharing insight and context between modules so development stays connected, consistent and cumulative over time.
-
more for your budget
Our collective model gives you senior specialists without corporate overheads, and transparent pricing for design and delivery, helping budgets stretch further and benefits last longer.
-
seamless logistics and delivery
We act as an extension of your L&D function, coordinating and scheduling with your level of care. Every programme is built for accessibility, ensuring inclusion by design.
-
value that endures
Teams leave with shared tools, language and habits that keep strengthening collaboration and performance long after a single programme ends.
examples of some programmes we designed
-

Plain-English Team Comms

What is the GC Index
Every Teamshaper programme starts with understanding how a team works. The GC Index is one way of gaining that insight. It’s a simple but powerful framework that shows how people make their greatest impact at work. Rather than analysing personality or job title, it highlights the distinct ways individuals naturally contribute to a team’s success: by generating ideas, shaping strategy, driving delivery, refining outputs or connecting people.
For public sector L&D and OD leads, it provides a shared practical language for understanding how the teams they are in charge of are structured and how each team member leads, collaborates and adds value. Seeing the collective profile helps identify strengths, gaps and where energy is concentrated or missing, insight that can make any development programme more targeted and effective.
The GC Index is an optional add-on to Teamshaper programmes, used where it adds clear value.
To help you experience its benefit, we’re offering a free no-commitment individual GC Index assessment and review for leaders or members of public sector or third sector L&D, OD, people and culture teams in the UK (organisations with more than 50 staff, one free assessment per organisation).
