When is a Custom Program an option that you should consider?
- Are you seeking to develop core leadership and management competencies for current key leaders or the next generation of leaders?
- Will new economic conditions, sustainability, mergers and acquisition activity or consolidation require your managers and executives to think more strategically and act innovatively?
- To strengthen your competitive advantage, does your organisation need to develop a greater level of skill in functional areas, e.g. Sales & Marketing, Finance or Operations?
- Have you had recent changes in key leadership positions or teams that are likely to drive a new direction for your organisation and require new capabilities?
- Is a “silo” mentality in your organisation preventing work in cross-functional teams to find solutions to complex, organisational issues?
If the answer to one or more of these questions is yes, then a Custom Program is a development option that your organisation should consider.
How do we build Custom Programs?
We use the following approach to designing your custom program:
- Engagement
Understanding the organisation’s strategy, environment and key challenges impacting the target audience.
- Discovery
Clarifying current competency levels of the target audience to identify learning and development outcomes relevant to the business challenges. Defining measurement criteria for evaluation of success.
- Design
Defining the learning methods i.e. exercises, case studies, diagnostic tools and other activities required to develop the desired competency levels.
- Delivery
Integrating content and exercises for pre, during and post-program learning activities.
- Evaluation
Measuring application through reactions, knowledge and skills, application and impact on business (ROI).
