We help organisations build brilliant leaders, stronger teams, and learning systems that work.
What makes us different?
You've sat through enough forgettable training to know it doesn't have to be this way.
Death by PowerPoint where slide 47 is still about "Our Vision". Tick box modules everyone clicks through while actually working. Mandatory sessions that feel like detention for adults who've done nothing wrong.
You know your people deserve better. So do you.
We believe learning should be engaging, practical, and respectful of people's intelligence. When it is, behaviour changes. When it isn't, it's just expensive box ticking.
We create learning experiences people genuinely want to engage with. Not because attendance is tracked, but because it's relevant to their actual work, practical enough to use tomorrow, and doesn't insult their intelligence.
Learning that sticks. Learning that changes how people work, not just what they tick off their development plan.
About us
We're Skillmonger, and we exist because too much L&D is designed to tick boxes rather than change behaviour.
We started with a simple observation: when training is built around compliance requirements and theoretical frameworks instead of real work challenges, it fails. The result? Forgettable sessions, bored participants, and exactly zero behaviour change. You know this already. You've probably been fighting it for years.
So we built something different.
When learning is designed around real work challenges, speaks to people like the intelligent adults they are, and gives them tools they can actually use tomorrow , something wonderful happens. People pay attention. They engage. They change how they do things.
Who we work with
Everyone from micro organisations with a handful of people to companies with tens of thousands of employees across multiple countries. We've worked across pharma, energy, financial services, construction, healthcare, and international development, to name just a few. If you need L&D that works, we can help.
Our services
We offer end to end L&D support, but we especially love working in these four areas:
Learning design & facilitation
We create and deliver learning that sticks.
Whether it's a single workshop, a 10 module leadership programme, or e-learning content people actually want to complete, we design it all. We specialise in human skills and leadership development, but we cover the full range of workplace capabilities. Conflict resolution, delegation, management essentials, mediation. The works.
We deliver through workshops, webinars, facilitated sessions, and online learning. Each programme is tailored to your audience, your context, and your challenges. Bespoke, every time.
Coaching
Sometimes you need space to think with someone who gets it. Someone who isn't your boss, your colleague, or your partner.
We provide individual and group coaching that helps people move forward. Whether you're a new manager finding your feet, navigating a career transition, or wrestling with a complex leadership challenge, we're here to support you.
We're ILM and CMI Level 7 qualified, and we specialise in using psychometric tools like Insights Discovery and Lumina Spark to unlock deeper self awareness and team dynamics.
Organisational development
Building the structures and systems that help organisations and their people thrive.
We design competency frameworks, overhaul performance management systems, create governance structures, and lead culture change initiatives. This is the strategic work that shapes how your organisation develops its people and operates.
Whether you're transitioning from traditional performance reviews to development conversations, building capability frameworks from scratch, or navigating organisational transformation, we help you build foundations that actually work.
Learning Technologies
Setting up learning platforms shouldn't require a PhD in systems integration or the patience of a saint.
We implement LMSs and LXPs that your people will actually use. That means understanding your structure, governance needs, compliance requirements, and users before we even think about platforms.
We handle the technical setup, build the governance frameworks, train your people, create the documentation, and make sure the whole thing works for your organisation rather than becoming another expensive system everyone complains about.
How we work
Here's the thing: every organisation is different.
What works brilliantly in a construction company might flop spectacularly in pharmaceuticals. What first line managers need bears absolutely no resemblance to what the board needs.
So we don't do generic programmes that claim to magically fit everyone. (Spoiler: they don't.)
Our approach
We start by understanding your actual challenge. Not what the latest LinkedIn thought leader says you should worry about, but what's genuinely not working for you right now.
Then we design something that fits your world. We adapt to your culture. We deliver in ways that work for your people. We elevate content for different audiences so everyone gets what they need at the right level.
And here's what people appreciate most: we're honest. If something won't work, we'll tell you before you waste time and money on it. If there's a simpler solution than what you asked for, we'll suggest it. Straight talk about what will actually help.
Stories from the field
A few examples of what happens when L&D is done right:
Building confident leaders in logistics
A fast growing logistics company was promoting talented people into management roles without giving them any tools to actually manage. Unsurprisingly, they were struggling.
We designed a practical leadership programme around the real situations their managers faced every day. Having difficult conversations. Delegating when you're used to doing everything yourself. Managing competing priorities. Building credibility with your team.
The results? Within a year, 20% improvement in leadership effectiveness and genuinely happier teams. More importantly, their managers stopped trying to do everything themselves and started leading properly.
Turning friction into collaboration in manufacturing
A manufacturing company had brilliant people who just couldn't work together. Different departments, different styles, constant tension.
We used Insights Discovery to help people understand their own communication preferences and recognise others'. Not as a tick box exercise, but as a practical tool for actually working better together.
What changed? 25% drop in interdepartmental conflicts. 40% improvement in cross functional team performance. Teams started solving problems together instead of pointing fingers at each other.
Taming the complexity of global training
An international engineering firm needed to manage training for thousands of people across multiple countries, each with different compliance requirements, languages, and operational needs. Their existing systems were barely holding together.
We implemented an LMS that could handle the complexity, built governance frameworks that worked across their whole structure, and trained their people to use it confidently.
The outcome? 15% reduction in admin time. 33.3% increase in compliance completion rates. And a system that actually makes sense to the people using it.
