Leadership courses as part of talent mapping
Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,
As part of its Talent Mapping process (see RFI20151386), the BBC offered a range of programmes and opportunities for people identified as leadership material. These are listed in the Appendix 1 that is mentioned in the Case Study (and linked to in the previous FoI).
"BBC sponsored NEDs, 2-3 per year" - please say how many sponsored non-executive directorships there have been and where, who the sponsored individuals were or what pay grade they were on, and how much was spent on this.
"Critical Eye, 2-3 places per year. c£10k", "Windsor Leadership. Experienced Strategic Leaders Programme (2 days, exec and BDG only) or Newly Appointed Leaders (3 days + 2 days, divisional heads or controllers)", "Kaisen Diagnostics. c£5k. Includes psychometrics, feedback session, development plan" - for each, please say what this is, how many persons have benefitted, who they are or what pay grade they were on, and how much has been spent on this.
"Business school 12 week programme. 2 per year" and "Business school 5 day / 4 week programmes" - please identify these and say how many persons have benefitted, who they are or what pay grade they were on, and how much has been spent on this.
Finally, were the individuals who benefitted from the above programmes obliged to refund costs if they left the BBC?
Yours faithfully,
Spencer Count

It is long overdue.
If the internal reviewer is to reject the request on the same grounds as RFI20151646, please say so without delay so that I may make alternative arrangements.
