The Results
Heartbeat Impact
Phil's trust reclaimed approximately 3.2 million heartbeats that would have been consumed in traditional strategy development.
Those heartbeats were invested in implementation instead.
Those heartbeats enabled 640 one-to-one student support interventions across the 21-school trust.
Result: 87% of the strategy embedded within 6 months.
"Dynamic Genie didn't just give us a better strategy. It changed how we work together. For the first time, everyone from the Board to the classroom felt genuinely heard and influential. Three months in, we've made more progress than in the previous three years."Phil Banks, Chief Executive Officer, St Christopher's Multi Academy Trust
