Cardiff, UK – January 19, 2016 – An innovative digital platform that delivers the latest news, thinking and insights from leadership and management sources around the world has been launched by Leadership & Management Wales (LMW).

The LMW Hub is an innovative concept – a digital platform that helps managers and leaders take leadership development into their own hands. In today’s information rich – but time restricted – world, the LMW Hub is the only source providing relevant and practical leadership and management news in one easy-to-access location. All content is hand-picked by LMW’s unbiased editorial team, filtering the noise and saving members valuable search time.

Specifically, the LMW Hub comprises:

• Member area: A definitive summary of the important, need-to-know leadership and management related information. The member area contains tools and resources, exclusive interviews with business leaders, top tips, book reviews and insider intelligence showcasing how other organizations develop their people.

• Daily information digest: every day, LMW’s editorial team scours the net and hand-picks the most relevant leadership and management related stories, thinking and ideas published across the globe. Only the world’s most significant and useful stories make the cut – no irrelevant news, no time waste.

• Weekly top picks: a weekly round-up of the most important leadership and management news from the daily information digest, delivered directly to members’ inboxes.

• Leadership toolkit: each month LMW’s expert team summarises the latest quality resources and best practices on a topic relevant to managers. The toolkit includes the best articles, products, tools, resources and websites relating to carefully chosen topics, from employee engagement to leadership styles.

• The archive: all content is organized in a searchable online library, enabling members to search hundreds of themed leadership and management related articles from across the world.

How does it work? The LMW Hub is accessible to individuals and businesses alike. Joining the Hub as an individual is just £49.95 a year – less than £1 per week – and can be done directly on LMW’s website (www.lmw.org.uk/lmwhub). The Hub is also available in a variety of different packages to suit businesses of all sizes. The investment for a business up to 49 employees could be as little as £4 per head – a notable difference compared to traditional training sessions. No new systems or equipment are required to join the Hub.

“It has become apparent over the years that business managers are committed to developing their leadership skills, but they lack the time and resources required to undertake formal leadership development,” said Dr. Barrie Kennard, chief executive. “Given the digital nature of the platform, we believe that the LMW Hub offers businesses an innovative, cost effective and most importantly time efficient way for leaders and managers to engage with leadership development.”
