Crowe recognised that to achieve its significant growth aspirations, it was essential to embed cross-functional working in all regions. Critical to this was investment in the management population to boost morale and engagement levels, while developing the skills to drive performance and enable growth across the business.

ICAEW worked with Crowe to create a manager development programme (MDP) to achieve their goals.

Tony White, People Director at Crowe, says: "MDP has been transformational. The training programmes that ICAEW delivered have brought the firm together. We have a really engaged workforce at the moment, with everyone pulling in the right direction. It's no coincidence we had a very good financial year last year."
