The British Library
“Whilst development centres are not unknown in the public sector, they are relatively rare and a first for The British Library. Slowly but surely they are helping senior managers to appreciate their talents and providing a framework of support to address their development needs. OPP have played a huge role in making this happen.”

“Our work with OPP on identifying and developing high-potential managers is helping us deliver on leadership development as part of the Siemens ‘People Excellence Strategy’. The Management Development Centre (MDC), run in association with OPP, has helped participants understand their own strengths and development needs. At the same time it’s given us the information we need to provide them with suitable opportunities and career paths. The MDC is integral to Siemens’ career and succession planning. We refer to OPP’s reports to supplement our decision-making around future promotions.”

“Even at this senior level the MBTI® tool makes leaders much more aware of how their own preferences dictate behaviour, its impact on others and how they can change this. It stays with leaders throughout their careers, giving them lasting insights they can continue to apply. Throughout, OPP have been responsive, and always interested in helping us develop our professional expertise.”

“The MBTI tool demonstrates itself. People can see it, hear it – it’s live in the room. Managers also recognise the potential for this learning to benefit themselves personally – it’s a more holistic development experience. And OPP’s consultants excel at getting participants to see the full potential of their new insights.”

Ernst & Young – locally
“Since the introduction of OPP’s MBTI seminars, survey results from June 2004 have shown quarter-on-quarter improvements in performance, particularly in the key areas of leadership and desire to remain with the company. The improvements have been such that this division of Ernst & Young is top of all the national business units in its people performance. Focusing on these areas with OPP has made a real difference to staff morale and demonstrated that the partners care.”

Ernst & Young – globally
“Each year, over 1,000 young managers from CWEA and CE will be introduced to the MBTI tool at their ‘transition event’. This will provide them with an insight into their own leadership style and preferences, and highlight areas where learning, teamwork and communication can be improved. We are co-developing our ideas with OPP as we move forward with this. They have been responsive to our requests; they go to great lengths to understand our business and our needs, and we feel listened to and recognised as an important client to OPP. We’re developing MBTI Masterclasses together now to take us to the next level, and we are confident that these will be equally powerful.”
