Whilst other Divisions of Peak Activities Ltd specialise in
shorter “ jolly ” team building events and
residentials,
Iain Jennings & Associates
specialises in the careful analysis of clients’ training
needs, the design of suitable tailored courses and the
delivery, following up, consolidation and evaluation of
such bespoke training & development programmes.
Detailed preparatory work may involve anonymous staff
review questionnaires, 360*
appraisals, and work using self perception inventories such
as Meredith Belbin’s team role questionnaires, Myers Briggs
type indicators and other psychometric tools such as 16 or
32 PF. Our clients include many well known organisations
from the financial, banking, high technology manufacturing,
biotech, aerospace and pharmaceutical industries. We have
worked very successfully and published the results of this
work with numerous organisations including AVIVA, Barclays,
Northern Foods, Robert Bosch GmbH, Rolls Royce, EDF, the
Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Range Rover, Rover
Group, TXU, and Volvo. Please

to some kind testimonials and
customer endorsements
which we hope will encourage budget holders and decision
makers to speak directly with our training specialists
about any projects they may have in mind. To save time we
try to encourage Managing Directors and CEO’s of companies
considering using our services to have a chat with our M.D.
Dr Iain Jennings at the earliest possible opportunity. Iain
is very approachable always willing to give friendly advice
- and all discussions can be made in total confidence. All
Iain asks for in return is for the actual stakeholder and
budget holders to speak with him in person - rather than to
ask for Iain’s help via colleagues who may not always have
the full picture regarding the aims & objective, scope
and limitations of your envisaged assignment.
As you may imagine, after 30 years of working at the
leading edge of this field with very demanding and
discerning clients, the consultancy services offered
by
Iain Jennings & Associates
are diverse and some can be quite complex and time
consuming. A tailored three day residential programme of
development training for, let’s say, around 10 or 12 people
at a time will involve a significant investment often
running into five figures which includes time spent on
planning meetings, research interviews and post course
follow ups. We have clearly established over 30 years of
operations that our unique approach and blend of indoor and
outdoor methods works really well and customers agree such
targeted training & development interventions are very
worthwhile and remarkably cost-effective. Customers who
have tried and succeeded using our methods often become
strong advocates of ours. However, we do recognise that
prospective customers sometimes ironically have trouble
justifying going away on holiday - never mind spending
three or four days away from work learning how to avoid
“firefighting”.
If you have a requirement to improve communications,
develop deeper trust and understanding, to boost leadership
qualities and develop management process skills, to
increase creativity and develop fresh ways of tackling
problems at work collectively, please call us on
01433-650345 and you’ll not be disappointed. We can also
help to boost the self confidence and self reliance of
people who may need help in realising their true potential.
If you have a requirement for less serious training - for
example a one or two day team building event for 10 or
maybe 100+ people, Peak Activities Ltd. will still be
pleased to hear from you - but you will not be wanting or
needing costly detailed reviews and follow ups - and hence
most probably you will need to be dealing with some of our
other colleagues whose time is charged out at a more modest
hourly rate. Corporate events organisers on a tight budget
will find our tuition fees for short “jolly” away days and
light-hearted corporate events are pleasantly light by
comparison. Just
