Approach
OUTCOMES
The first question we ask the client is “what do you want to be different after the training?”. We will conduct a rigorous diagnostic to identify, not just what isn’t working, but also to spot the good stuff that needs modelling. This will form the basis for our learning outcomes and every part of the solution will align to this.
ENGAGE
We believe that we learn best when we are enjoying ourselves and learning is not something that is done to us. Whether on line or face to face we work hard to create imaginative and interactive workshops that involve, and challenge the learner. The workshops are fun, but every activity is aligned to the outcomes and has an application in the workplace.
CONSOLIDATE
It’s the frustration of every trainer when so many great learns and intentions never leave the training room and the beautifully designed materials are confined to the desk drawer. We take a robust approach to action planning and tailor a raft of follow up techniques including e-prompts and coaching to ensure that the learning is made to live on the job.
MINDSET
We don’t do scripts, and we don’t do robots. We believe that if you get the mindset right then the behaviour will follow and people will make the right choice. This is where we focus a great deal of your time and people are surprised at how contagious the right mindset can be.
