18. Where we operate
18

19. Just some of our Current conversations...
 Profile concerns, Underspend for 2021-2022, to reach 90% of profile for Advanced Learner
Loans in time in time for performance management points to allow us to go for growth
 CRM Implementation, Limited progress made towards marketing and funnel systems
 Bids and Bidding – engagement
 Multicultural and Thinkfest Brands – The Pathway Group needs to get more out of it, for it’s
core business
 PFA Audit readiness and complexity amongst various funding streams and partners.
 Staffing levels – recruiting the right staff at the right level and replacement of key people
 Some organisational cultural issues – particularly above and below the line
 High profile funding streams such as SWAPs, we need to get a grip of and dominate,
securing funding
 Securing our funding streams, to safeguard our financial funding, in areas that we are
transiting too
 Customer service – being able to do more with that we’ve got
19

20. Just some of our Current conversations...
• Financial pressures are getting harder and harder., we need to meet and
exceed profiles
• A requirement to improve our customer service, experience and IAG,
create “raving fans” and have more inbound marketing opportunities
• Improving the learner journey, quality of delivery and passing the “so what”
test
• Additional strength in our teaching and learning, particularly with our mode
of delivery and embracing more online, remote, and on-demand learning
• Insufficient process implementation and pipeline in key areas
• Additional business interruption and contingency planning- staffing,
facilities etc

27. A general recap of
Our Investors
in People (IIP)
recommendations:
27

28. Investors in People
For each line manager
establishing objectives at their
Performance Appraisals linked
to people management.
Review the Performance
Appraisal and identify if it is fit
for purpose. Consider including
the values and not the
competencies.
Continue with the approach to
succession planning and
include individual personal
development plans.
Ensure that everyone receives
the comprehensive company
induction irrespective of where
they are based. For those not
able to travel to Yardley this
might include videos of the
Chairman, MD, and other
appropriate Senior Managers.
Review the leadership and
management competencies
and ensure they are about
leading and managing staff and
not a focus on teaching and
learning and delivery.
Ensure that everyone is
provided with information and
resource to enable them to do
their job effectively.
Ensure that there is a
consistent approach to valuing
and appreciation performance
and contribution. Especially that
which goes above and beyond.
