AB  - The effective integration of on‐the‐job development with
off‐the‐job training does not happen often, but when it does the effects
can be dramatic. To realise this strategy one company, Kingsway,
recognised a need to make a major investment in the development of
managerial talent. A bold but essential strategic investment in
management trainees to counter an earlier lower priority to management
development is described. The effective link with a management centre
(Sundridge Park) is explored, particularly in relation to securing
learning while managing. The power of projects, as a development method
and part of this partnership, is described with bottom‐line benefits in
relation to achieving task goals and learning goals. It is shown that a
partnership between an enlightened company and a progressive management
centre can make such goals realistic.
