Business Leadership
The MAIN Academy's purpose is to offer a range of services for business people through a different dimension.
Different dimension?

We can do blue sky thinking, team building and take you or or employees out doors just like many other courses available - but this is different.... Why?
  1. Depth of substance and sustainability
  2. Consideration of the whole 
  3. Courses rich in content and "playback capability"
  4. Grounded in reality
  5. Strong emphasis and focus on understanding variation in life, people and business
  6. A core of service to others through a challenging, fun and rewarding experience.

The MAIN Academy offers a unique and original formula. Founded in 1984, the MAIN Academy is built on real life success stories going back to the 1940's. Bringing a new systems process to the knowledge age is what makes our content work.

Testimonials
Quote from Glyn Davis
Marina Manager - Premier Marinas Chichester

"Despite being around boats all day we rarely have the opportunity to get the team together on one! Using paddles instead of sails was a great way for the team to get to see each other in a different context. We had a great time, it was quite obvious that a team that co-operates can really go places, to cap it all the sun was out too!" click here to find out more.


Quote from Dr Myron Tribus

.....on seeing the Main Academy Bell Boats in action..............
"They immediately begin to learn significant lessons about teamwork. They learned about the impact of variability in ability upon the team performance.
I cannot begin to tell here all the lessons about quality principles, teamwork, planning, and variability that is gained, experientially.
Another product of the "Bell Boat" experience is changed character. I spoke with a man who works with juvenile delinquents in the UK. He told me that getting them out on the water in a team endeavor changed their behaviours in a remarkable way.
This is all part of David's dream of getting people to work together, across boundaries of nation, culture and continent.
This project has been endorsed by the Queen, as well as quite a few members of Parliament and even from the House of Lords."
