Case Study: presentation skills A large multi-national company asks OPC to collaborate on a programme of advanced media-training for country managers. The project needs a workshop on presentation skills to form part of the seminar. OPC contributes the OPC Presentation Preparation System, and coaches the leaders and senior managers in their presentations to international audiences. OPC works with the client to design the content of the media seminar, devises a train-the-trainer programme and creates materials for use company-wide. A senior OPC consultant is selected to deliver 2 pilot courses and coach in-company trainers to deliver the course. Case Study: introducing coaching in schoolsThe education department of a city council in the north of England wants to introduce coaching as a management skill, both in the council and for managers, senior leadership teams and advisors in schools. OPC manages the contract, running an initial Introduction to Coaching Skills course, for teacher-managers, followed by 13 repeat courses as a result. OPC then organises and delivers training for the ILM Certificate in Coaching for over 40 teachers and school leaders to become qualified workplace coaches. In addition, two schools request a bespoke 2-day coaching workshop for their leadership teams, so that they can experience coaching for themselves and decide whether it is appropriate to their organisations. A third school asks OPC to coach members of its senior leadership team individually, with the aim of developing leadership skills and increasing understanding of the benefits of coaching in schools. In all and as a result of this project, more than 10 schools in the area are in the process of adopting coaching, or have adopted it, as part of their staff's Continuous Professional Development programme. Now three years on, OPC acts in an advisory capacity for 3 schools, to sustain the quality of coaching offered, training trainers within the schools and providing leadership coaches.

A UK tool-making company north of London is exporting to France and Spain. They commission an Export Communications Review because they want to increase their export business. The ECR indicates strengths and weaknesses in how they communicate at present and gives recommendations. For example, they receive practical advice on how to make their web-site more easily understood by their European partners, on speaking international English, on how to manage telephone calls more effectively and how to solve problems over technical terminology. One of their telephonists wants to learn French; she is given a selection of options to suit the company budget, from easily obtained courses on CD to face-to-face lessons at a local college.
