Client commendation

“I have worked with Goodfoot on a number of occasions and have recently been working with them to develop our team to look at their behaviour and how that impacts on the service that we provide and the reputation that we have in our organisation. Goodfoot have been able to get to the issue and have been able to design their development programme that gives people fun, interaction and self-awareness.

They have also managed to get the team to develop our own charter so that there is a direct output of the training and this is something that we can use going forward for everyone. Goodfoot’s style is professional, business focussed and engaging. I would recommend them without question.”

Project excellence

Client commendation

“Goodfoot has recently completed a project management programme to support the introduction of a new NPD process to the business. Goodfoot listened to our needs and created a programme which could be used and flexed for junior staff as well as senior staff. The trick was merging the documentation for the new process into the project management skills themselves and work logically through the process. Bringing the process to life using this approach really helped understanding.
The feedback sheets and the subsequent roll out of the new process has meant that people are applying the skills immediately. In addition the feedback sheets showed a positive response to the training, outlining the key areas they would put into practice.
We are very pleased with Goodfoot’s work for us which has resulted in them becoming our preferred supplier for project management training.”
