LBI was founded in 2020 and has grown rapidly ever since. Founded by Robert Chapman, who has years of practical experience in this field, he noticed the sheer lack of the right type of skills within businesses – namely, those skills that enable individuals to take on the mantle of change and improvement within their businesses confidently and successfully. Based on this experience, and working with many organizations in various industries, LBI was created, and with it the course content required to plug that skills gap.
Businesses today are crying out for their colleagues to come with solutions not problems, with ideas not complaints, with a plan not a list of demands. Our courses are highly practical and interactive, ensuring our learners get the skills they need to begin changing and improving their organizations as soon as they complete the course.
