Allen & Overy – premier in people development
Abstract
Describes the approach and the innovations introduced into management development in one of the leading global law firms. Outlines the introduction of a “top‐down” approach and its growth that, over time, created a culture where development was seen as a necessary, positive and welcome experience. Describes the recent overhaul of “management development” in the firm, and the introduction of a continuous development process. Notes that, in the programme, staff are effectively developed in the areas on which they will be assessed, as well as being prepared for more challenging roles in the future; performance is maximised as well as motivation.
