NEW REPORT

What mid-level managers actually need right now

A research-informed briefing for the people designing their development

You’ve invested in training. You’ve run workshops, booked coaches, subscribed to platforms. And yet, if you’re honest – you’re not sure it’s landing the way you hoped.

The design is not quite right.

This free insight brief is written for Chief People Officers and OD professionals who want to close the gap between development investment and real behaviour change. It draws on current research to make sense of why most manager development doesn’t stick AND what works.

Inside the report:

Why 70% of new learning is forgotten within 24 hours (and what Ebbinghaus actually tells us to do about it)
The three structural reasons most manager development fails to transfer
Five conditions your development programs need to build in
What this looks like as a practical, low-friction model for time-poor managers
