Case studies
Real change: leaving you stronger
Close Brothers: Executive Leadership Team Development
Mayvin designed and delivered a series of workshops for Close Brothers Motor Finance C-suite leaders to help them develop their working practices and prepare for the inevitable challenge of crisis (soon delivered in the form of the significant transformation and the global covid-19 pandemic).
One of the programme’s design principles was to hold the sessions lightly which HR Business Partner Mandy Smith credits as being ‘so useful, in terms of leaving space for organic conversations… the team appreciated the depth of conversation it led to.’
Rebecca CEO said: ‘The business benefited from a more open and trusting Executive Committee, and from my perspective it drove the team development forward at a faster pace, but also to a far deeper level and created a more lasting connection.’
Virtual learning approaches for uncertain times
Mayvin has been offering a full range of virtual learning approaches, including programmes in leadership development and organisational development as well as coaching to support our clients as people reset for an uncertain and more virtual future.
Our decade of experience as a virtual working organisation means we have a deep understanding of how to maintain a positive culture in a virtual workspace and create lasting, sustainable change.
“I found the day to be a massive success and I couldn’t think how it could have been better if it was conducted face to face.”

“The right balance between theory and practical, useful materials that I can adapt and use again, excellent support from knowledgeable tutors – who challenged me (in such a nice way) to look at situations differently and develop new skills.” – Programme participant
Organisation Development Intervention in an NHS Surgery Pathway
Mayvin was brought in to design and deliver an away day to reset troubled relationships at this NHS Trust. Through a series of diagnostic conversations that created a safe space for everyone’s voice to be heard, we discovered that the issues were more complex than first presented and this highly successful clinical pathway was overworked to breaking point.
The Organisation Development work of helping the system was achieved as much through the diagnostic phase as by the away day itself.
By helping to foster open, authentic conversations we enabled people to build trust in each other and an understanding of other people’s perspectives and experiences. This resulted in greater cohesion in the team, improved communication, team-working and collective problem-solving.
Leadership Development for a non-ministerial Scottish Government department
Mayvin helped a non-ministerial department of the Scottish Government create a culture and leadership style that will enable the organisation to respond to rapid change, embrace digital transformation and move successfully into its future.
“The highest quality programme I’ve been on in my career.”
Blue Cross: Leadership Development and Culture Change
Mayvin designed, developed and delivered a major leadership development programme for the charity’s top 100 leaders
The programme supported the organisation in learning to live its values more fully and made a significant positive difference to the way in which the organisation is led and managed
“Mayvin helped us work through some of the blocks we had to changing our culture to one that is more responsive and engaged” – Rachel Briggs, Director of People and Development
