Training and Development

We Focus Your Training and Development to On Performance

Training is conveying necessary knowledge to get something done. Development is using that knowledge to build skills and expertise to get something done. Training for the sake of training can be very entertaining, but it's rarely enlightening. Development for the sake of development can be very fulfilling, but it's rarely productive for your organization.

We understand business -- we understand organizations. We understand performance -- performance is achieving the goals of your organization in a highly effective and efficient manner. Training and development should be focused on the performance of your employees and your organization. We're experts at designing training and development to improve performance.

We Aim Especially on Training and Development That Sticks

One of the biggest complaints about training is that it too often results in new books and materials that sit, collecting dust on shelves. Sure, the trainer was very stimulating and informative. But did the training results in new tools that are actually being implement in your organization?

We carefully design training and development to result in tools that will be implemented. It's in the implementation that the real results are accomplished -- and the most important new learnings are achieved.

Because We're Very Familiar With Principles of Adult Learning

Research suggests that, as an adult, your most important learning comes not come from a traditional classroom setting. It comes from 1) your applying new knowledge to current, real-world priorities, while 2) sharing feedback with others around your experiences.

It's not enough to encourage participants to do that. Your training and development programs need to build in timely mechanisms for participants to share support and accountabilities to apply those trainings. Our firm is a pioneer in developing those mechanisms and ensuring they are suitable to very busy schedules of your employees.
