EC Harris in the UK wanted to introduce a Graduate Development Programme that would build the pipeline of future leaders within EC Harris.

The programme was to be aimed at new graduates, employees who have worked for EC Harris for a period of years, and newer employees with other outside experience.

They would be from a variety of disciplines and from all offices within the UK; therefore, any provision must be sensitive to the mix of experience, disciplines, and location of the delegates.

While delegates would be focusing on working towards Charter status there were some key issues that were fundamental to their integration and acceleration through the business as high potential future leaders.
