"At The Industrial Development Board-Northern Ireland, we wanted to achieve IIP and Business Excellence accreditation - but we wanted more than 'the badge'.

Through best practice development such as 1:1 coaching starting with the management team, The MR Partnership has helped build our in-house capability, enhanced our leadership, culture, and HR Development practices; and supported us in pursuing the real goal - better motivated and developed people and better business results."

Bruce Robinson, Chief Executive, The Industrial Development Board - Northern Ireland

"The growth and complexity of Pfizer's demands on its Project Management discipline increases daily. Challenged with recruitment into this discipline, which is fundamental to our overall operation, The MR Partnership combined innovation with efficiency in providing focused and practical support.

Working closely with us, The MR Partnership designed a competency based selection process tailored to meet our needs, and based on a competency model which we now use to develop and support existing staff within the project management discipline.

The implementation of this process and model have achieved for us a significant improvement in our 'hit rate' in successfully recruiting competent project managers who can excel in this demanding role."

Steve Uden, Director of Project Management, Pfizer Ltd

"The MR Partnership has created a significant and positive impact on the way Allied Domecq Retailing Ltd manage performance internationally. The MR Partnership worked with us to design a new appraisal process, building on our existing competency framework and tailored to meet our specific needs. The general feeling is that the work has moved the whole performance management arena on significantly in a way that many people had not envisaged or planned.

Allied Domecq Retailing Ltd has successfully adopted and are implementing this performance management process in our sites across the UK. Our USA colleagues are also delighted by the package and are amending their system to come into line."

Jeff Dixon, Senior HR Executive, Allied Domecq Retailing Ltd.
