Media Operations Management

Media Operations Management is a professional services business led by Dr Peter L. Block. 

We provide a range of services that focus on workforce development from the strategic through to delivery.

In partnership with other experienced consultants we provide a range of people development related services. These include desk based research, management development workshops and courses on creativity and innovation for management teams.

What we do

In business, whether in the public or the private sector, the first step in developing a strategy is to understand the environment within which an organisation operates. We work with organisations to provide them with independent, rigorous analytical processes based on academic methodologies yet rooted in the practical realties of the commercial world.    

We follow four key principles in carrying out this work to ensure that the client achieves the outcomes and objectives it is seeking. 
We have built these principles from our professional research and consultancy experience of undertaking work with a range of clients.

What can Media Operations Management do for me?

What is business coaching?

Coaching is a process that aims to improve performance and focuses on the ‘here and now’ rather than on the distant past or future.
Good coaches believe that the individual always has the answer to their own problems but understands that they may need help to find the answer.

‘…is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.’

Timothy Gallwey, The Inner Game of Work

‘…is the art of facilitating the performance, learning and development of another”.

Myles Downey  Effective Coaching

A coach will;-

  1. be non-directive
  2. be non-judgemental
  3. be person-centred
  4. ensure an individual is responsibility for their action
  5. ensure an investment in their growth
  6. focuses on the present/future

Usually coaching is arranged at regular intervals for a set time.  You have a protected time and location for your coaching session.
Group coaching can also be arranged but meets different needs.

Peter or one of the team can provide that coaching expertise to support your development
