Our Approach

• For optimum transfer of learning, the learner must be actively involved in the learning experience, not a passive recipient of information.
• Adults learn best by doing; by being involved (action learning).
• Appealing to many of the participants senses stimulates learning - particularly visual, kinaesthetic and auditory.
• People learn best in stimulating surroundings.
• Problems, examples etc. must be realistic and relevant to the participants.
• Learning is best when it can be related to the participants known information and experience, (their frame of reference).
• The learning process has an affective (emotional) as well as intellectual component.
• Emotional challenges increase learning and retention
• Learning flourishes in a win / win, non-judgemental environment.
• Behavioural patterns accompanied by an increase in self esteem will be repeated.
• Learning increases if the learner accepts responsibility for her/his learning.
• Learning is greater when a person perceives the need to learn and know.

SCOPE ~ We develop a sound understanding of the organisation, the participants, their setting, the target outcomes for a program, and any relevant logistics (numbers, dates, locations, budget etc.). We will provide a brief recommendation or proposal based on where the participant group is NOW, WHERE they / the organisation would like them to be at a given date, and HOW they might best get there. While the Scope might provide initial costing estimates, this step is provide free of fees, other than any travel expenses.   DESIGN ~ Based on the agreed outcomes of the Scope, the client might request a full program design. With further and thorough research, we will design a program which will deliver the agreed target outcomes. The design phase will be provided at a fee dependant on time requirements and any travel expenses.   DELIVERY ~ The program is rolled out to participants, through residentials, workshops or coaching / mentoring sessions as required in the design.   IMPLEMENTATION ~ We provide support for the implementation of the learning and change into the organisation, as outlined in the Design   EVALUATION ~ The program is evaluated based on the agreed KPI’s and / or target outcomes.   “NEXT STEPS” RECOMMENDATION ~ We provide recommendations on the next steps in a continuous improvement context
