We are delighted to mark a decade of collaboration with The OCM, a partnership that has inspired innovation and strengthened how both organisations deliver impactful learning and development for their customers.
The relationship began ten years ago at an exhibition in London whenPaul Matthews, CEO and architect of the People Alchemy platform, met Ed Parsloe, CEO at The OCM. They discovered a shared philosophy around the importance of learning impact. “There was an instant connection in terms of the philosophies that we share, particularly around learning transfer,” said Ed.
Fast forward 10 years, the partnership has focused on supporting coaching and mentoring programmes, using People Alchemy’s platform to enable real behaviour change. “The platform allows us to support genuine learning transfer into the workplace, whether working with organisational clients or individuals on our qualifications and apprenticeship programs,” Ed explained.
The impact is clear: The OCM’s apprenticeship programmes have achieved outstanding results. “90% or even 100% achievement rates don’t happen just by chance. It’s a combination of great programme design and systems that enable effective learning transfer,” Ed noted.
Highlighting the benefits of the partnership, Paul Matthews shared: “What we have is unique and it works. Some of the input you’ve had into how you want the platform to do things for you has helped us develop a much stronger system—not just for you, but for other clients as well”.
Looking ahead, both organisations remain focused on delivering value and supporting leaders, managers, and teams to thrive in an uncertain world. “We’re going to need to prove the return on investment that organisations are making to develop their people, and this partnership helps us do just that,” Ed emphasised.
