L&D and Organisational Development Work with a Global Pharmaceutical Organisation

First Ascent Group has worked with a global pharmaceutical company's UK operations since 2005, delivering learning and organisational development across four core business functions. The work has grown into a long-standing partnership, that extends beyond the UK to the US and Sweden.

Where the work spans

Our involvement covers a wide range of people development needs, including:

• Early careers and apprenticeship development
• Train the Trainer and assessor training for internal training functions
• Leadership development and talent centres
• Coaching and mentoring programmes
• Facilitation, influencing and conflict-handling skills
• Executive coaching and team development for senior leadership

Programmes have evolved alongside the organisation itself, moving from standalone modules to structured, multi-phase interventions, and adapting through periods of restructure, pandemic disruption, and expansion.
