Training

We Help Organizations Maximize the Potential of Their People.

To be more effective, knowledge is necessary but insufficient; it takes a shift in mindset to effect and sustain behavioral change. Our learning and training programs focus on transforming thinking and behavior and honing real-world skills such as negotiation practices, empowering people to jointly solve problems, collaborate at new levels of effectiveness, and deliver breakthrough results.

Our Approach to Design

Experienced

We’ve worked with thousands of learners across hundreds of clients in nearly every major industry. We are experts at creating learning experiences that enable people to change the way in which they do their jobs, in a way that translates directly into better business results.

Reflective

We make space for learners to distil their own insights and make meaning of what they’ve learned. Our approach, too, involves reflecting on what has worked in the past and what new approaches we need to try.

Organized

We’re on top of the details. Our clients can count on us to be proactive, communicative, and resourceful. We pride ourselves on making it easy for learners to learn. Clear materials and instructions help us do just that.

Curious

We encourage learners to constantly ask themselves, “What am I missing?” while working with others. We put this to practice. We want to know what is hard for your learners and how we can help them to grow.

Practical

We invite learners to bring their real-world experiences into the classroom. Then, we make sure they can apply what they learn immediately to their job. We use activities, simulations, and stories that mirror participants’ daily work lives as closely as possible.

Adaptable

We intentionally take a side-by-side approach to our work with clients. We bring our perspectives and we are open to being persuaded. Our facilitators and instructional designers can flex to the needs of our learners and client counterparts.

Choices to Create the Most Impactful Experience for Your Learners

Learning modes / media: We partner with you to select the learning mode that will best meet the needs of your learners, whether that is in-person, virtual instructor-led, eLearning, or a blend of these approaches.

Length of training: We challenge ourselves to find the right balance between content and running time to create highly impactful learning experiences. We typically deliver training modules that are anywhere from one hour to several days in length.

Stand-alone or programmatic: Depending on the learning problem we are aiming to solve; we design and deliver stand-alone programs and full blended learning journeys. Additionally, we frequently design and deliver individual components of a client’s broader learning journey, ensuring connectivity between our modules and the full learning experience.
