Our Solutions
Our training programs:
- are individually designed, after client group
needs have been clearly identified and desired team outcomes targeted
using our six step Quest Process (click for more information on
'Our Process').
- combine current theoretical content with proven
experiential learning methods, which incorporate original outdoor
and adventure team building activities where appropriate.
By skilfully weaving engaging and innovative experiential
learning activities into the learning process we are able to 'breath
life' into theory models and allow participants to not just understand,
but also practice the application of learning. For the client, this
results in higher levels of retention and transfer of learning into
the workplace, and enjoyment of the learning experience. To this
end, we have our own experiential learning instructors, equipment
and infrastructure. (Click for more information on 'our
process').
Programs can be delivered on site, at the client's
premises, or at any of our wide range of regular conference and
training venues throughout the Asia Pacific Region.
The Quest Group Australia Team of network
consultants, trainers and facilitators can provide high value assistance
to you and your organisation in the following identified pivotal
areas:
Leadership
Development
Organisations, teams and people will all undergo
change. If that change is to be for the better, the journey needs
to have clear direction towards a vision. At the helm of such journeys
are effective leaders to provide both vision and direction. We develop
the capacity of leaders (from supervisors to MD and CEO’s),
to achieve this more effectively by providing skills, strategies
and tools. We include 360 degree feedback systems, individual leadership
development action plans, and leader coaching and mentoring.
Team Building
Great leverage can be gained developing and implementing
a common and effective Team approach. We enable clients to achieve
this by providing:
- proven methodologies for establishing new teams
- effective tools and strategies to leverage diversity
within the team
- establishing / modifying team culture
- strategic teaming
- team profiling and 360 degree feedback instruments
on whole teams
- team-based continuous improvement action plans
and implementation
- team coaching
Strategy
Once we define where we are headed, the path becomes
clear. The key to business success is to have the leader or the
leading team develop simple clear agreed upon strategies that, with
a good plan, can be successfully implemented in the medium to long
term.
Breaking Down Silos
“Divisions in organisations are often just
that, resulting in separate and, at best, non collaborative entities.
At times they are even internally competitive groups which waste
resources and opportunities. We specialise in transforming such
functional and / or geographical divisions into collaborative sub
teams within organisations by providing both strategies and the
motivation to apply them.
Communication
Communication is the link between all stakeholders
in and around an organisation. Recognising this, we tap into the
differing preferences people have for communication styles and develop
the ability to pick the best style for a given situation.
Sales
Specialists within the Quest Group team can assist
you with your sales effectiveness. We will enhance sales performance
through the application of proven sales and marketing processes.
Whether it is sales team training, strategic sales development or
sales coaching for individuals, we have the expertise and know how.
Many organisations both large and small have gained from our sales
training platform.
Customer Service
One of the few business activities we have complete
control over day to day - customer service. Customer Service can
make or break a business. We have been able to offer clients highly
successful customer service development, training, and infield refinement,
and development of customer service models.
Marketing
Quest Group Australia can provide appropriate marketing
support to organisations enabling them to draw on the experience
of our specialists and their suite of services in order to increase
sales and achieve business goals. Taking a long term view, we create,
develop and implement strategies, campaigns and programs that achieve
sustainable business growth and improve profitability by focusing
on effective business alignment, brand management and marketing
communication.
Managing Change
We believe that we all have a choice to be either
a driver of change or a victim of change! Quest Group Australia
assist individuals, teams and organisations to recognise their preferences,
develop change management tools and strategies, and make informed
choices on managing change.
Decision Making
The quality of decisions leaders, teams and
organisations make will depend on a combination of their skills
and the strategies and tools they have available. We provide cutting
edge tools and strategies, experiential learning and expert feedback
to practice them and develop the skills.
Merging
Cultures
Mergers and acquisitions present organisations
with significant challenges and business momentum is often lost
for some time during the transition. We can expedite the process
by providing the tools, strategies and motivation for separate cultures
to take the best of each and form a new identity which serves all
stakeholders.
Managing Diversity
A hinge pin for organisational success will
be it’s approach to human diversity, being potentially either
a strong asset or a significant threat. Through cutting edge tools
and innovative strategies, we provide the opportunity for clients
to better understand, value and manage diversity, and thereby leverage
from it.
Project Management
Good thinking, ideas and strategies often
whither and die due to poor implementation. Quest Group have access
to world's best practice project management tools and skills
that, coupled with the right attitude and behaviours, can ensure
that every initiative can be implemented, within the agreed time,
and with the least cost to the organisation.
Goal Setting
Without goals and objectives we have no clarity
of what is important to us. Our most valuable resource, time, becomes
a major waste. Quest Group can assist your people in setting goals
that are totally owned, achievable and will bring out the best in
your team!
Visioning
Vision is defined as ones "Preferred
Future" . Whether it be a personal or business vision,
Quest Group can assist you, your leadership team and your people
to clearly identify the future that they want for themselves and/or
the business.
Work
/ Life Balance
Growth and success, however measured, can
be a fleeting experience for individuals, teams and organisations.
If success is to be sustainable, a sound understanding and intelligent
management of work life balance is essential, not only to the organisation
and its productivity, but perhaps more importantly to it’s
people. We have the tools and strategies to assist in making your
success sustainable.
Innovation
Insanity has been described
as doing things the same way but expecting results to change! In
a competitive and ever changing world where growth is often a KPI,
we constantly need to find better ways to do things. Recognising
that innovation is a critical skill in achieving this, our specialists
will unravel the mystery of how leaders, teams and organisations
can consciously change their thinking in order to change results.
Negotiation
Negotiation is a process civilized people
use to reach agreement, not warfare. We do not see the goal of negotiation
as winning, but rather as succeeding. The mechanism of successful
negotiation is collaboration - the work of a partnership rather
than adversarial exchange. When you recognise that there is a set
process in negotiations, you can look for it, use it and benefit
by achieving better results and reducing levels of stress. We can
develop negotiation courses for teams and individuals for sales
activity, general day to day or high powered environments, where
success is dependant on good negotiation.
Presentation
Skills
Professional presentation skills go well beyond
entertaining a crowd, and are more about understanding the audience,
developing content that appeals and organising structure and transitions
that see you leave a lasting impression. We have helped individuals
and organisations present in a professional manner that wins deals,
builds business and conveys confidence and sound interpersonal skills.
Customer Intelligence
As sales teams push to find a competitive
edge, having superior customer intelligence can be the difference
between winning and losing in sales. Our specialists have perfected
a process that gathers superior customer buying, account management
and buyer behaviour intelligence and then feeds that back to sales
teams so they can build demand in their market place. This is not
just market research, but rather a whole new concept that can put
you ahead of the competition and build professional sales activity.
Waste Reduction
All stakeholders in every organisation are
wanting efficient use of dollars. Shareholders are looking for solid
returns, staff for appropriate reward, and customers are looking
for value for their dollar spent. Too often organisations "hide"
waste in their business, with the stakeholders affected by either
higher product or service prices, lower staff reward or lower dividends
to owners. The Quest approach to waste is simple and effective and
can typically lead to 15% - 25% improvement in cost elimination.
We can assist you through our proven process in identifying,
prioritising and eliminating the wastes in your business. |
