Discipline 2 is based on the principle that not all actions are created equal. Identify and act on the activities with the highest leverage.<h2 style="color: rgb(16, 24, 32); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(16, 24, 32);">Discipline 3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard</h2>This is the discipline of&nbsp;engagement.

Each team engages in a simple weekly process that highlights successes, analyses failures, and course-corrects as necessary, creating the ultimate performance-management system. The Noble Experience This autumn we&#39;re road testing the 4DX methodology with members of the NLG and their teams from within the Poultry business unit. Real life successes, realistic roadblocks and issues, and a genuine appraisal of the outcomes, will all be shared with participants at the 2024 4DX sessions, as we strive to learn the best practices that enable us to go beyond a good strategy, to achieving great levels of execution!Delivery of the 4DX sessionsThe 4 NLG groups will attend a one-day, in person module, where we&#39;ll share the 4DX methodology with you and hear directly from Richard Wood, MD of the Poultry business, as to how the approach has helped him and his team to delivery their objectives.<img src="https://images.cademy.co.uk/noble-foods/7f22d13e-e7fe-43bb-ad22-a5dbd09dcb21/original.png" style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto; padding: 0px 1px; -webkit-user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">

Success = Value + People + Process

With innovation happening more than ever, the new agile project economy requires more and more people across organisations to manage projects successfully, leading to many of us quietly slipping into the role of the unofficial project manager!
The problem is very few people receive formal training on how to do it. Stakeholders, scope creep, limited training, and a lack of process all combine to raise the probability of project failure costing organisations time, money, and employee morale
Is it any wonder 65% of all projects fail* each year!
The good news is—unofficial project managers can build confidence to lead high-value projects and engage teams in a way that inspires them to volunteer their best efforts.

Outcomes
Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager™ combines best practices from agile and waterfall project management to equip learners with the mindset, skillset, and toolset to engage and inspire team members.
Success starts with the core agile principle of value—a project must deliver value to Noble! Once value is established, it is people who make projects successful through a consistent process.
Project management isn’t just about managing logistics and hoping the project team is ready to play to win. The skills of “informal authority” are more important than ever before, so team members are inspired to contribute to project success!

This course will help learners:
Build strong informal authority that inspires project teams to consistently volunteer their best efforts.
Utilise a consistent process to start and finish high-value projects on time and with quality.
Influence and engage others to define a clear project scope, including clear deliverables and risk strategies.
Model openness and agility to apply proactive change management and deliver high-value projects.
Project Management Framework
The Project Management Framework guides you through five distinct elements in the life of any project. Coupled with the foundational behaviours taught in the programme, this framework can help you deliver highly successful projects again and again.

Who Should Attend?
This programme is for anyone who finds themselves leading projects at work, regardless of whether or not their job title says, Project Manager!
It is NOT a deep dive into project management processes, nor is it a qualification based programme.
Whilst it would be helpful to either be involved in or to be leading a project, during the programme, this is clearly not essential. However, it is advisable that the participants have had some experience, whether as a project member or as the person who is leading the project (officially or not)!
Project Management Institute (PMI)
FranklinCovey is a member of the Project Management Institute (PMI) Authorised Training Partners (ATP) Programme and this course has been designed to satisfy the project management education requirement for PMI Certifications as well as Professional Development Education units (PDUs) needed by PMI credential holders.

Advanced Phlebotomy - Skills & Techniques (GPT005)

Security lies at the heart of international relations, driving critical debates in an increasingly volatile world.  This course provides a dynamic introduction to contemporary security studies, blending key concepts, theories, and real-world challenges. 

Participants will explore the evolution of security—from traditional state-centric models to expansive frameworks like human security—while analyzing the shifting global order.
The Western-led multilateral system, once a beacon of post-Cold War collaboration, is under strain. 

With Trump’s victory marking the decline of the U.S.-led postwar order, this course investigates how these tectonic shifts redefine international security. 

Delivered in two parts, it combines rigorous theory with practical insight:

Part One: Master foundational theories—realism (anarchy, power, war), liberalism (order, institutions), and constructivism (human dimensions)—alongside critical lenses like post-Marxist and post-structuralist perspectives.

Part Two: Apply these frameworks to today’s pressing issues through case studies, revealing the multifaceted nature of global security.

Participants will hone sharp analytical skills, learning to research and assess security challenges using academic frameworks and open-source tools. The course also fosters critical thinking, teamwork, and persuasive communication, equipping you to engage confidently in international security debates.

Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end, you will:

Knowledge and Understanding
Grasp core theoretical debates and their relevance to international security.
Understand the historical and modern dimensions of global security challenges.
Analyse security issues through interdisciplinary and theoretical lenses.
Evaluate diverse perspectives on security across global contexts.

Skills and Abilities
Apply theoretical insights to case studies and policy dilemmas.
Address complex security topics independently and collaboratively with strong time management.
Communicate compelling analyses effectively in writing and speech.
Use academic and open-source resources to critique global security concerns.

LOOKING FOR: PICTURE BOOKS / CHAPTER BOOKS / MG / YA / NEW ADULT inc GRAPHIC NOVELS

Gyamfia Osei joined ANA in 2023 as a Literary Agent in the UK department. She was previously an agent at The Good Literary Agency, where she began building her list of authors. Recent successes include a ‘significant’ 6-figure pre-empt for Busayo Matuluko’s YA debut ‘Til Death, a 5-way auction for Quiet Storm by Kimberly Whittam and the shortlisting of Ebinehita Iyere’s Girlhood, Unfiltered at the 2023 British Book Awards. She was also a Bookseller Rising Star in 2024!

At ANA, Gyamfia is focusing on developing the agency’s list of children’s authors, while also representing a bespoke list of commercial adult fiction and narrative non-fiction.

In the Children’s space, Gyamfia would love to find contemporary stories that are full of heart and joy-driven books across all genres (think Clare Weze, Kimberly Whittam and Elle McNicoll). Funny middle-grade and YA horror are currently at the top of her list and she is also keen to read more teen projects (think Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and Glow Up Lara Bloom) this year. She is very interested in finding a graphic novel or illustrated project for either MG or YA readers.

In the older fiction space, Gyamfia enjoys well-plotted, fast-paced narratives with authentic characters who lodge themselves in her mind long after she’s finished reading (think Sadie, Verity and Girl A). She’s open to a broad range of genres, but would be particularly keen to see romantasy, cosy crime, contemporary romance and tightly plotted domestic noir. 

Please note that Gyamfia doesn’t consider literary fiction and, in the commercial space, she is not hugely interested in very high fantasy, trauma-focused stories or particularly gruesome horror.

In the non-fiction space, she would be happy to consider commercial narrative non-fiction and cultural history projects (think Brit(ish), It’s Not That Radical and Everything I Know About Love). She is very open when it comes to Children’s non-fiction but would be particularly interested to consider unique cookbooks aimed at young chefs, books exploring mental health/wellness and projects that bring the experiences of marginalised children to the forefront.

Gyamfia would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the opening three chapters (max 5,000 words). For picture books please send two texts and a covering letter. For non-fiction please supply a cover letter and proposal with up to 5,000 words of your sample text.

Please send EITHER picture books OR another genre, not both in one submission.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Gyamfia is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print).

PRP - Collagen Induction Therapy Course (GPT701)

Since the end of the Cold War, ideological rivalries have largely given way to nationalism and ethnic conflict as the primary drivers of strife within and between nations. From ethnic and religious violence to clan-based struggles, cultural divisions have destabilized countries and regions, often spilling across borders to threaten global security. Scholars warn that these conflicts—frequently framed as ethnic, nationalist, or religious—challenge not only regional stability but also the very concept of world order.

Even in so-called "unified" First World nation-states, cultural tensions have surged, evident in the rise of secessionist movements and anti-immigrant political parties. Minority groups worldwide are increasingly vocal, demanding recognition and rights, while those in power often respond with repression or violence. The result is a growing wave of nationalist conflicts—ranging from mass expulsions to state-sponsored genocide—that has tested traditional notions of state sovereignty and sparked international humanitarian interventions.

Despite widespread acknowledgment of this nationalist resurgence, experts remain divided on its origins, meaning, and solutions. Debates intensified with Samuel Huntington’s provocative “Clash of Civilizations” thesis, which gained urgency after September 11 and the War on Terror. 

Critics argue that the real struggle lies not between civilizations but within competing visions of modernity—one rooted in individualism and democracy, the other in communal identity and self-determination—or what some call a “Clash of Fundamentalism” fueled by religious movements.

This course explores these dynamics, examining the roots of identity-based conflict and the pathways to peace in deeply divided societies. It equips learners with the theoretical tools and practical insights to understand and address one of the defining challenges of our time.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Through this course, you will:
Gain a comprehensive understanding of nationalism’s emergence, persistence, and its potential to fuel ethnic and religious polarization, violence, and civil war.
Explore the causes, consequences, and responses to identity-based conflicts at national, regional, and global levels.
Develop an integrated perspective on conflict resolution and peace building, blending theory, and real-world practice.
Analyze the social, economic, and political conditions of plural societies grappling with division and strife.

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Knowledge and Understanding
Apply major theoretical frameworks in nationalism studies to analyze the role of identity in ethno-political conflicts.
Identify conditions that give rise to identity-based conflicts and assess their implications.
Understand the international community’s responses to civil wars and genocide—including preventive diplomacy, mediation, humanitarian intervention, and reconciliation—while grappling with issues of political, moral, and legal responsibility.
Skills
Critically evaluate diverse approaches to studying ethno-political conflicts and designing conflict resolution strategies.
Explain the causes and consequences of identity-based conflicts across multiple global regions.

Competences
Think critically about nationalism and its role in shaping geopolitical and local conflicts.
Propose informed policy solutions to prevent or mitigate identity-based conflicts.
Build a strong theoretical foundation in conflict resolution applicable to real-world challenges.

WHY STUDY PEACE AND CONFLICT?

Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) seeks to uncover the causes of violence and conflict while developing strategies to transform them into nonviolent resolutions. This course empowers you to contribute to a more peaceful world, locally and globally, by equipping you with valuable knowledge and practical skills. It’s ideal for anyone passionate about resolving disputes, promoting peace, and driving positive societal change—welcoming individuals from all backgrounds united by a shared commitment to this urgent mission.

WHO SHOULD ENROLL?
This course is open to anyone eager to deepen their understanding of conflict dynamics and peace-building. No prior academic credits are required—just curiosity about the world and a desire to make a difference.

Explore why people, groups, and states engage in conflict and why peace remains elusive. Dive into the causes of conflict, effective resolution strategies, and peacebuilding efforts worldwide. Learn how historical, cultural, and political factors shape disputes and discover insights into fostering lasting peace. #ConflictStudies #PeaceInitiatives #GlobalUnderstanding
