Our Foundation Field Manager Bootcamp is a practical, interactive professional development program for field managers. It delivers essential knowledge and skills that enables field managers to maximise the value they deliver to franchisees and to do their challenging and important work with confidence.

 Why attend?

Field managers have a challenging role working at the front line of the business, balancing the needs of franchisees with the requirements of the franchisor. The Foundation Field Manager Bootcamp will give them a boost of confidence, clarity and inspiration to reignite their passion for their role as well as equipping them with a powerful set of tools and strategies for improving franchisee engagement, profitability and brand alignment.

How it is conducted?

The Foundation Field Manager Bootcamp is conveniently conducted using the Zoom platform over five separate two-hour sessions, spread over two weeks. Participants are expected to engage fully in all sessions with their camera and microphone on. There are also some personal reflection exercises to be completed between sessions. Sessions include a presentation of concepts and breakout discussion groups. Discussion notes are often circulated back to participants who are also encouraged to maintain an action learning plan that captures key insights and commitments. Places are limited to maintain an interactive, high-quality learning environment.
