Institute Of School Business Leadership

institute of school business leadership

Manchester

The Institute can trace its origins to informal gatherings amongst the earlier pioneers of state school business leadership over 40 years ago. As our education system has evolved, the education workforce has had to adapt. As schools continue to be afforded more local autonomy, and with it more direct accountability, the need for well-trained, qualified and competent school business professionals (SBPs) has become increasingly important in all school leadership structures. Between 2001 and 2012, the National College led a government-sponsored programme to develop thousands of SBPs. The coalition government favoured a move towards a sector-led, self-improving system, which signalled the end of National College SBP sponsored programmes. To continue the important SBP workforce professionalisation work initiated by the National College, in 2017 ISBL became a nationally recognised professional body by being granted the prestigious status of institute. Our role in the education system ISBL’s principal function is to provide all education stakeholders with confidence in the capability of school business professionals. In order to adequately serve our education system, this workforce needs to consist of technically competent, highly skilled and experienced practitioners. Here at ISBL, we set the benchmark for effective practice through sector-endorsed professional standards and provide development opportunities for our professional community and their institutions through a portfolio of quality-assured qualifications, training, resources, research and events. Helping secure a brighter future for our children: A blueprint for school business leadership practice This is a statement of ISBL’s intent, with effective school resource management at its core. It sets out our vision and commitment to supporting the ongoing development of a critical, fit-for-purpose workforce, along with the necessary steps towards equipping a cadre of professionals ready and able to support other school and trust leaders in responding to the complex challenges of our evolving education system.

Using a non-partisan approach, we provide the Government with feedback from our community and a technical steer in areas of policy relevant to our expertise. In essence, we act as the conduit between policy and practice. We support all school business professionals We recognise the professional diversity that exists within the SBP community. In a mixed-economy education system, it is inevitable that there will be a variety of operating models – some very large and some much smaller. The structures that support these organisations will differ, as will levels of responsibility, accountability and complexity. It is therefore unsurprising that there are many versions of the SBP role. As an institute, it is our aim to develop and support practitioners at every stage of their career journey, whether they are an aspiring SBP, a practitioner in a standalone setting or indeed operating at an executive level across a number of schools.

Kaboodle Leadership brings together a breadth of expertise and experience in Leadership Development. We teach organisations to develop their own Leadership Development Programmes. We also design programmes to order for you. Using years of working in large corporate settings and with small companies and entrepreneurs, our innovative work springs from ongoing research into cognitive neuroscience, approaches to adult learning and real life leadership experiences. Because of this, we are not tied to a single theory or model. As a result we are able to continually push our boundaries to offer you the latest techniques and ideas around generating robust and creative leaders. We firmly believe that leadership is about who you are. We get results through helping organisations build leadership programmes to enable people to discover their potential to create, innovate and achieve, generating new possibilities to share with colleagues and their organisations in order to sustain growth and adapt to change. We have built our business on face-to-face workshops, executive coaching, delivery of full leadership programmes and organisational consultancy on learning design. In addition we have helped companies with issues around problem teams, agile strategy development, maintaining creativity and changing the way leaders think and behave. Our face-to-face work continues with remote working platforms and have diversified into tailor made online e-learning products through through our subsidiary company Leap Professional Ltd. We now have an online learning platform to offer distance learning for individuals and companies (we created Leap Professional Ltd to offer this).The passion behind both companies overlap, the key distinction being a new approach to leadership and a new approach to online learning for leaders.
