    At Jaguar Land Rover, changes of ownership had prompted a change in the culture in the IT department and the strategic plans of the business meant that relationship building between IT and other departments became very important.

    Over a two-year period we ran 6 x 3-month development programmes, resulting in a marked increase in confidence, communications skills and emotional intelligence.
