The drive to upskill staff and enhance the talent of individuals and teams is not a new phenomenon, but it has come in many shapes and sizes with little universal structure. Newspaper articles from the late 1800s reported on productivity issues in the UK and waxed poetic about ways to improve talent and worker capabilities as technology revolutionised labour. As we continue steaming well into the 21st Century, the conversation about improving talent and skills has not gone away.
In response to growing demand for data-specific training, Corndel has teamed with Imperial College Business School to create three skills development opportunities: the executive development programme, the data driven professional programme and the data analyst programme. The executive programme has been devised specifically as a senior leader apprenticeship to provide a transformative and personalised development journey for all employees on the path to senior director and C-suite level. It seeks to ensure those leaders have the right technical data and digital skills, plus soft people skills. The data driven course is geared towards providing key skills and processes for an increasingly data-oriented business world.
DataIQ’s Alex Roberts spoke with Morgan Hamilton-Griffin, marketing director, Corndel, to better understand why this collaboration with Imperial College Business School is needed, how it works and what the outcomes are hoped to be.
The need for data skills
Corndel has delivered data literacy and analysis skills for many years, developing a rigorous and effective programme of educational opportunities for businesses working to evolve their data capabilities. To accelerate the results of these programmes and increase the reach, Corndel created a new partnership with Imperial College Business School that would provide transformative skills development right across organisations from junior to senior employees in both technical and non-technical roles.
“Our partnership with Imperial College Business School began in 2021 with the launch of the executive development programme,” said Morgan Hamilton-Griffin, marketing director, Corndel. “The post-graduate level equivalent apprenticeship equips learners with the skills and knowledge required to become effective business leaders and improve performance through entrepreneurial leadership.”
