At IPC Mouldings we pride ourselves on our ability to meet our customers’ needs and as a company we are committed to investing in our employees by way of continuous training and development.
This also applies to our senior management team as it is essential that they provide confident leadership to the overall staff team to ensure we best meet our customers’ demands.
Joanne Liddle, our Managing Director and Graeme Bennett our Director and General Manager have recently completed a nine month Leadership Team – Ambition to Scale programme with Invest NI which offered valuable insights and reinforced our vision of the future. Â
The Leadership Team – Ambition to Scale programme is designed to help senior management to develop the right company structures and processes to support business growth, help with strategy and business development, building upon team cohesion and drive a culture of transformation to enable ambitious growth.Â
As a company, IPC Mouldings works closely with Invest NI and its aerospace team to drive productivity and global competitiveness. By participating in the Invest NI leadership programme, Joanne and Graeme had the opportunity to explore and enhance IPC’s leadership and operational capabilities.
In addition to empowering business leaders by building essential leadership skills, the course also provided a comprehensive assessment of our business performance. With the continued shift towards digitalisation and AI, how we work is changing and our team look to the leaders for stability and clarity as the company continues to evolve and change.
Within IPC Mouldings, our core areas are Our People, Our Operations and Our Customers and the leadership programme enabled Joanne and Graeme to identify which cultural elements need changed versus what should remain constant, establishing new ways of working and ensuring our people embrace change and never feel left behind or devalued.
Following the completion of the course, Joanne commented on her experience and said: “The programme really challenges you as a business leader to stop and take stock of how you are currently managing your business and how best you can develop the right company structures and processes to support business growth, implement strategy and business development and to build upon team cohesion to help drive a culture of transformation to enable ambitious growth which will all be of huge benefit to IPC Mouldings.
“Thanks to everyone who helped deliver the course – Invest NI, the Irish Management Institute and Wilson Sloan Consulting.”
The nine month course provided Joanne and Graeme with the tools and techniques that they can utilise to strengthen the whole work force at IPC Mouldings and ensure we continue to evolve and meet our customers’ needs in the years to come.
