The shops

We have now expanded our bookshops

a complete range of substance and management books.

 

Commissioning an event

To commission an event all you have to do us is get in touch so that we can agree date, details and fee. The minimum details we need to know are:

course theme

numbers of participants

venue

In addition, there are some questions that it is worthwhile to work through before contacting a trainer. The more information you have the better chance there is of getting a tight fit between what you are expecting and what the trainer can actually deliver.

We are happy to work through these questions with you - and if necessary - we will carry out a training needs analysis.

Have you got  a training need? What has happened that has persuaded you to go for training now?

How precisely can you define what you want people to do when they have completed the learning?

Where do you want the event to take place?

What commitment has to be made by management to enable the desired changes to take place?

What is the likely cost to me if I don't go with the training?

How can I be confident that I have got the right trainer?

How does the proposed training fit in with the organisation's business plan?

How will we evaluate the success of the programme?

How do people in my organisation learn best?

How many people need the training?

Are there any policy frameworks or other changes that need to be developed before the training event happens?

You can download these questions as a Microsoft Word document by clicking here for a  training response form.

On the whole experiential learning works best in groups of between six and fifteen.

You may want to consider what kind of venue is appropriate. It is normally useful to take people out of their normal working environment and as far away from the phone as possible.

It may also be good if people feel a bit spoiled because this is happening for them.
