Management Dynamics co-founders Alison Grieve and Jenni Miller are sought-after leadership and skill development experts, renowned for their entrepreneurial energy and ability to create differentiated digital learning experiences that drive measurable results, transform company cultures and develop people and teams to the highest possible standard in the most effective way.
Alison and Jenni first met in 2006 whilst running their own businesses and quickly discovered they shared a fascination for how the greatest leaders and teams think, act, behave. By 2016 and several crossed paths later, they seized the opportunity to combine their aligned vision and 25+ years of business and HR experience to make a bigger difference working together than they could have ever achieved independently. Disillusioned by the glut of rigid, uninspiring cookie cutter courses on offer, they co-founded Management Dynamics with a mission to pioneer meaningful and dynamic learning solutions focused on empowering people and organisations to make a great, lasting impact on the world.
With a fast growing global reputation and a blueprint for success, their small but mighty start-up has supersized to [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION] and is catalysing world class performance for 24+ businesses of all shapes and sizes, including international powerhouses, Pepsico, AstraZeneca and Pandora.
