Public Training Courses

Bernard Marr of the Advanced Performance Institute is a rare find, he conveys a sense of simplicity and practicality to highly usable approaches for strategy management. His techniques are straightforward to assimilate and apply to the context of one's own organisation and enable a refreshing speed to strategy development leading to a highly communicable result. He speaks with great confidence, to audiences of any size including the most senior management and underpins his ideas and concepts by well-researched knowledge and through practical case studies. He is clearly an expert business practitioner who I thoroughly recommend, not least as we have successfully applied his approaches in recent times to the development of our Corporate Technical Strategy. This work readily garnered senior management buy-in and has attained Executive Board endorsement for our strategy map that links Bernard's concepts with our own on capability mapping (the latter of which have been published on with the API in a joint case study).

Bernard Marr has delivered advisory events on behalf of CIPFA which have been of the highest order. I am very happy to endorse his work and Bernard as an expert in his field.

I recently attended a workshop organised by CIMA at which Bernard Marr was the presenter. His communication skills are exceptional, understanding and knowledge unquestionable and enthusiasm for the subject positively infectious! His presentation was engaging, thought provoking and insightful; well worth attending. I can honestly say that I have never known a business seminar be so fascinating and engrossing. I was genuinely disappointed when it ended. I’d encourage anyone who gets the opportunity to attend one of Bernard’s seminars to grasp it with both hands.
