Developing our teams

As part of our commitment at Catch to ensuring that our teams are as equipped for success as they can be, we recently engaged Annabel Shilton, an experienced Business Coach and Consultant, to provide a leadership and management training programme for our management teams.

We took time out last Thursday for this dynamic and engaging workshop, starting with the foundations of the difference between leadership & management, then moving on to how we can all gain from improving on empowerment, ownership & responsibility and how communication is at the centre of effective leadership.

The team had a great day and left feeling empowered to better support not only themselves, but their own teams through better personal effectiveness and communication. We're looking forwards to putting into practise some of the new skills and techniques learned from the workshop.

About Annabel: Annabel Shilton has over 18 years of experience as an Executive Coach, Coach Supervisor and Consultant. Her previous roles in strategic marketing with global companies have equipped her with the unique ability to integrate business, marketing and people strategies, deliver organisational objectives, increase people engagement and productivity. She has worked with many senior executives and top teams in both large and small organisations on coaching and change programmes with a specific focus on developing leaders to build organisations to which people want to belong.

A new generation of students

This week we launched the first phase of the brand new University of Salford website.

The website is part of a large digital transformation project currently being undertaken by the University of Salford, with Catch working as their digital partner to help transform their public facing website to meet the needs of a new generation of students.

In this first phase a brand new course finder to improve the user experience for current and prospective students finding out about the University’s offering.

This project presented the ideal opportunity to audit content and improve the user experience across the site. With so many facets of the University managing disparate sections of the site, thousands of unique pages had been created using multiple content management systems and microsites. 

The previous site was very organisation-centric so the new site presented the chance to move to a more user-centred experience. In order to gather requirements from both the University’s internal stakeholders and the students’ perspective, a huge amount of user research was undertaken to inform the UX, including interviews and workshops. We also collected feedback from the previous site to highlight areas of improvement, in addition to new feature requests and suggestions.

This MVP site launch is just beginning and we’ll continue to deliver updates throughout 2019 against our roadmap, with exciting new features, always based on our users’ feedback.
