STEM Needs More Than Technical Talent: It’s Time to Lead on Human Skills

Coventry and Warwickshire power the future. From cutting-edge engineering to advanced manufacturing, the region’s STEM sector drives global innovation. But behind every technical breakthrough lies a growing challenge: human skills are now the biggest development gap.

The pressure to innovate, adapt, and deliver has exposed a simple truth, technical experts often struggle to lead, communicate, and collaborate when it matters most. With digital transformation, skills shortages, diverse workforces, and hybrid models all converging, emotional intelligence, resilience, and adaptability are no longer optional, they’re essential.

STEM Needs More Than Technical Talent: It’s Time to Lead on Human Skills

At Ashorne Advantage, we’ve seen this firsthand with Jaguar Land Rover, BakerHicks, Tata, and LEONI. The organisations thriving today aren’t just the most technically advanced, they’re the ones investing in people who can lead with clarity, build trust, and navigate complexity.

Our programmes aren’t off-the-shelf. They’re shaped around your strategy, embedded in your culture, and designed for real behavioural change. Facilitators challenge and support people in the moment, ensuring new skills stick and deliver measurable impact.

This isn’t just training. It’s a mindset shift. Because if your engineers are to lead, your managers to inspire, and your teams to collaborate, your learning must go deeper  and mean more.

In STEM, the next competitive edge isn’t just technical. It’s human.

“The New and Emerging Team Leaders Programme has empowered our new leaders with confidence and real-world leadership skills. We’re already seeing stronger team dynamics and productivity.”
— Andrea Mackrory, LEONI
