Training And Knowledge Sharing
Free expert-led training and knowledge sessions from Litmus Partnership — helping organisations stay informed, confident and ready to make better decisions.
Sharing knowledge is just as important as delivering services
That’s why we run regular training and knowledge-sharing sessions — designed to help organisations stay informed, confident, and equipped to make better decisions in the areas that matter most.
Offered free of charge as part of our added value, these sessions bring together sector expertise, practical insights, and collaborative discussions to help raise standards across the catering, cleaning, and facilities management sectors.
Free, practical insight that adds value
Our training and knowledge-sharing sessions are designed to support both clients and the wider marketplace. Each one focuses on providing clarity and confidence around key issues shaping the sector — from understanding cost pressures and supplier dynamics to interpreting benchmarking data or exploring new delivery models.
Delivered by our experienced consultants, every session translates complex industry trends into clear, actionable guidance that can be applied immediately.
What’s involved
Each programme is carefully designed to be practical, engaging and relevant.
We typically cover:
- Current Sector Challenges – Key Trends and Issues Affecting Catering and Facilities Management.
- Benchmarking insights – How to interpret and apply data to drive performance and value.
- Operational approaches – Exploring the benefits and trade-offs of different delivery models.
- Best practice examples – Real-world lessons drawn from across the Litmus portfolio.
- Interactive discussion – Open forums that encourage peer-to-peer learning and debate.
Our goal is simple: to provide practical, grounded knowledge that empowers participants to make more informed and confident decisions.
Collaborative and interactive by design
These sessions aren’t lectures — they’re conversations.
We build them around the real-world challenges our clients face every day, ensuring content is relevant, relatable and immediately applicable.
Participants are encouraged to share their experiences, explore new perspectives, and engage with others who are tackling similar issues. The result is a learning environment that’s open, collaborative and genuinely valuable.
