London, UK – Appleton Greene is proud to announce the launch of its latest corporate training initiative, the “Professional Services Advisor” program. Developed in partnership with seasoned advisor Dr. Cherry, this comprehensive program is designed to equip professional services firms with the skills and tools necessary to thrive in today’s competitive landscape.
With extensive experience in senior management and academia, Dr. Cherry brings a wealth of strategic and commercial expertise to the program. His background includes roles in multinational corporations, listed and private companies, and not-for-profits, making him well-equipped to address the unique challenges faced by professional services firms.
“We’re not just providing firms with tools; we’re shaping the next generation of trusted advisors,” explains Dr. Cherry. “This program emphasizes trust, communication, leadership, and client development to ensure a sustainable path to growth.”
The Professional Services Advisor program is the result of over twenty years of collaboration with professional services firms, both as referral partners and as clients. This deep understanding of their specific challenges, combined with Dr. Cherry’s doctoral research on trust within the professional services context, ensures that the training aligns with industry realities.
Professional services encompass a wide range of specialized industries, including engineering consulting, management consulting, legal and accounting services, scientific and environmental research, and more. The program is tailored to meet the needs of these organizations by offering targeted solutions in resource management, staff retention, market positioning, and client acquisition.
The program consists of 12 modules over the course of a year, making it suitable for both aspiring and experienced leaders in specialized sectors. Key modules such as Services Trust, Effective Leadership, and Market Positioning help firms refine their services, build brand presence, and expand advisory offerings. The training also explores the adoption of emerging technologies, guiding firms in leveraging AI, data analytics, and cloud solutions to optimize operations.
According to Deloitte Digital’s 2023 study, fostering trust, growth opportunities, and employee well-being is crucial in staff retention strategies. The Professional Services Advisor program integrates these elements, enhancing both employee and client engagement. By emphasizing trust-building, communication, and leadership development, the program ensures that participants are well-equipped to lead their firms toward sustainable growth.
Dr. Cherry’s expertise in strategic advisory and change management is evident throughout the program, providing participants with a holistic understanding of professional services growth.
