Management training and team development that drive business results
Since 2009 we have been helping manufacturing, sales and service companies build leaders who retain their people, lead change and deliver on targets. Every programme starts with a needs analysis, is built on real cases from your company and ends with measuring the results.

Why clients come to us
Supervisors promoted from the shop floor struggle to lead people
Management academies that teach delegation, difficult conversations and holding the team accountable.
Training and Development →Appraisal season is coming and reviews are a mere formality
We prepare managers for conversations that motivate and lead to concrete agreements.
Performance reviews →Training does not change behaviour at work
First we check which competencies are really holding back results, then we plan development.
Competency Development Map →The team doesn’t get along
Extended DISC reveals working and communication styles – and gives the whole team a common language.
Extended DISC →You are planning promotions, succession or hiring for key positions
CCQ shows people’s potential and motivation before you make a decision.
CCQ questionnaire →We know the realities of your industry
Since 2009 we have worked for 165 companies in 12 industries – mostly in manufacturing plants, but also in IT, finance, energy and the public sector.

Results we measure
absenteeism in 6 months
and +18% operator retention – a programme for production supervisors at an automotive company.
How we measured it: Absenteeism: share of absence hours in scheduled working hours before the programme and after 6 months, in the same group (time and attendance records). Retention: percentage of operators remaining employed over a set period, in comparable groups.
staff turnover in 5 months
A development programme for shift leaders at an industrial company.
How we measured it: leaver rate relative to average headcount in comparable periods before and after the programme, using the same definition of leavers (HR data).
sales closing rate
A training series for the sales team at an FMCG company.
How we measured it: share of won opportunities among all closed sales opportunities before and after the programme (CRM, same definition of an opportunity).
The results come from measurements carried out together with our clients on their own data (HR, CRM, audits). For each project we agree the baseline, the group and the measurement period. Details are available on request. See how we measure results →
Why companies choose NESSE – and how to verify it
We don’t ask you to take our word for it. Every statement comes with evidence you can check.
NESSE Quality Guarantee
Participants rate every module in the NESSE evaluation survey – an anonymous questionnaire on a 5-point scale (1 = lowest, 5 = highest). If a module’s average rating falls below 4.5 out of 5, we analyse the reasons together with you and improve or repeat the module at no extra cost.
Typical training vs a NESSE programme
| Typical training | NESSE programme | |
|---|---|---|
| Needs analysis before the start | an off-the-shelf programme | interviews with HR and managers, NESSE® Competency Map, DISC or CCQ |
| Materials | generic examples | exercises and role-plays based on real cases from your company |
| Report after each module | none, or just an attendance list | a mini-report for HR the next day: ratings, conclusions, recommendations; at the end, a report on the whole process |
| Follow-up | ends when participants leave the room | handbook, videos, podcasts, flipchart photos, coaching and implementation tasks |
| Measuring results | a satisfaction survey | pre- and post-measurement: knowledge, behaviour, business indicators |
What you get – before, on the day, after the training and at the end of the programme
These are real materials (client data anonymised). Click to enlarge. The samples shown are in Polish.
Needs analysis and the NESSE® Competency Map
The NESSE® Competency Map is our proprietary tool: it shows which of your managers’ competencies are strong and which are holding back results. We design the programme on that basis. Below is a sample result.
Handbook, videos and podcasts
Every participant receives a NESSE handbook on the training topic and a leaflet with links to our videos on YouTube and podcasts on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The QR codes are also printed in the handbook, so getting back to the materials takes seconds.
Flipchart photos and a mini-report for HR the next day
Participants receive photos of the flipcharts created in the room, so they can easily return to what was agreed. You receive a mini-report for HR as early as the day after the training: survey results, what participants are taking back to work, the trainer’s observations and recommended next steps.
A report on the whole process
At the end of the programme we summarise the whole process in one report for HR: the course of the programme and attendance, ratings day by day, changes in participants’ motivation, what the groups developed, participants’ voices throughout the process, trainers’ observations, recommendations and next steps.
Sample Assessment / Development Centre report
AC/DC reports contain sensitive data, so we do not publish them on our website. We will gladly show you an anonymised sample report – just ask. Write to us or call: +48 32 253 61 16.
What participants say – from post-training surveys
Quotes from anonymous surveys completed at the end of training (translated from Polish). We omit company names and give the industry, the date and the average rating of the training and the trainer.
“Soft on people – hard on facts.”
“It was great.”
“What am I taking back to work? Everything we covered.”
“All in all, the whole training is proving useful.”
“More training like this!”
“Keep it up!”
“Great role-plays. A very practical part.”
“Great that there were practical exercises.”
“A very good pace.”
