Technical and Skills-based Training
Guided by a deep understanding of adult learning theory and practice, we use a number of training approaches to encourage full participant engagement and ensure that a variety of learning needs are addressed. We particularly use approaches that facilitate participants learning from one another.
Our Approach to Training
- Tailored Formats. We work with our clients in getting the focus and format right and then ensuring that activities are appropriate to the organization’s experience and culture.
- Training Methods. Examples of our techniques are case studies, peer coaching, systems thinking, action learning projects, videos, on-the job strategies, role plays, and simulations.
- Trainer Preparation. We ensure that our instructors are properly prepared, trained, and knowledgeable about a client before entering the training room. We focus on how to be effective facilitators of learning, as opposed to being simply “trainers” of content.
- Training Delivery. Our trainers and facilitators lead 1-2 day workshops at the client location, week-long off-site programs, or several-month extended programs linked by intersession activities, such as individual coaching or action learning projects.
- Evaluation. We design and conduct evaluations of training and facilitation programs to improve organizational learning, accountability, and results.
