FAQs
Are there 40 scholars per group, or 40 in total?
40 in total. We do not anticipate any single group being larger than 15.
Do you have set content that you wish the provider to cover?
This is a programme which addresses individual leadership needs, grounded in transformational leadership theory. Scholars will have demonstrated a high level of self awareness and previous leadership development activity to be selected for the programme. Participants are typically highly motivated to read and advance their self development. While the provider is encouraged to suggest reading and areas of further enquiry, the emphasis of the programme is on providing facilitated opportunities for dialogue, self reflection and the application of knowledge. It is not a ‘taught course’.
Do you have a preferred model for the psychometric testing and coaching?
FNF has for some years used MBTI. We are currently reviewing our choice of tool, and are interested in strengths based approaches and asset based working. Providers should state any models they have expertise around.
The tender document says 'subject to satisfactory evaluations'. Who will undertake the evaluations and what will the evaluation framework include?
The evaluation framework is linked to the programme outcomes. FNF operates a two tier evaluation, addressing participant experience of programme delivery, personal learning and impact. Data collection is supported by FNF’s policy and influence team.
