Over 40 years of combined experience in Higher Education means we have deep understanding of the sector.

We also bring our knowledge and expertise from private and public sector clients, so you get the best of both worlds.

Our team have worked with a wide range of universities, including Russell Group and post-92 universities, large global players and smaller institutes.

We help managers, leaders and teams perform better. We support organisations to achieve operational effectiveness and implement strategic change.

See examples of our work below

Even before Covid-19, the university sector was facing the new and complex challenges of increased commercialisation, Brexit-enhanced uncertainty, funding changes, course demand trends - and the opportunities of greater collaboration with industry, international campuses and new technology.

Management and leadership skill is central to thriving in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment, but the HE sector often lags behind others in training and development in these areas.

Formium Development offers you a range of bespoke solutions. You'll find our HE experts have a wealth of HE knowledge and experience, and use this to deliver a wide range of leadership and organisational development interventions.

Our wide range of satisfied university customers points to our quality and ability to provide effective solutions, that help managers navigate a VUCA world by creating a vision, new understanding, distilling clarity in this complexity and being agile.

We bring a focus on strengths, proven to help people achieve more and with greater satisfaction.

Coaching is highly effective in helping individuals make rapid progress to personal or professional goals.

HE-experienced coaches: are available to add greater familiarity and knowledge.  

A series of conversations with our coaches supports you to identify and clarify your goals and  find your own solutions. We help you stay on track and encourage you to try new thinking and approaches.

It is not a lifetime commitment: we find most people make significant change within just 6-12 hour-long sessions. Sessions can be in-person, but phone/video calls provides the greatest flexibility.

We support other coaches: through coach mentoring we provide internal coaches with essential supervision and support.

We know HE: An advantage of working with us is that we know the HE language, culture, expectations and requirements, so we can provide a really-tailored learning solution. We've worked with managers and leaders throughout their career path, from aspiring leaders to Pro Vice Chancellors. We know the specific learning needs and interactions between academic, professional and technical staff.

Collaborative design: We work with you to design bespoke solutions, which can include workshops, e-learning, qualification or modular development programmes.

Wide-ranging development: Our facilitators' recent HE delivery includes Coaching skills for managers, Coaching skills for academics, Performance management, Leadership skills for academic staff, Developing a vision and Future-focus.

Helping you effect change: We can help you improve the performance and culture of your team, department or institution. We leverage our HE knowledge, experience as in-house managers and knowledge and expertise from other sectors to build bespoke solutions

We can focus on any level: we have delivered team coaching and team building, developed competency framework, developed/reviewed policies and strategies and support senior management away days for strategy development.

Range of interventions: we use techniques such as appreciative inquiry, team strengths reports, diagnostics and impact assessments. We can provide advice, or we can actively help you implement change.
