Leadership and Management Advisory Service (LMAS)
In 2012/13 LMAS will be aligned with Business Coaching for Growth (BCG) and will form part of a package of support including:
- coaching of senior management teams
- access to business and knowledge networks
- fast track access to trusted sources of specialist advice and support such as the Technology Strategy Board and UK Trade & Investment
The BCG programme will be delivered nationally by the Coaching for Growth Consortium, comprising Grant Thornton, Oxford Innovation, Pera and Winning Pitch. Find out about coaching for growth on the BCG website - Opens in a new window.
The LMAS provides government support to develop the leadership and management skills of senior leaders.
To be eligible, your business must be in England and have:
- Two to 249 full-time equivalent employees
- The potential for high or fast growth
If eligible, you will receive:
- A free assessment from a skills adviser to identify the leadership and management development required by the nominated leader. The adviser will then agree with the leader on a development plan
- A government grant of up to £1,000 for use on management and leadership training. You will have to match the amount of this grant – e.g. to receive a grant of £500 your business will have to contribute £500 of its own money
