Intervention Structure
-
Placement Test
Here, we ensure that the participants are suitable candidates for this programme.
-
Pre-Assessment
This stage involves an in-depth assessment that helps us understand where participants are in terms of ability.
-
Training Programme
Once we’ve identified the needs of our participants, we create a structured learning programme tailor-made to their requirements.
-
Coaching & Practice Tasks
Practice makes perfect, and we follow this by ensuring that participants are given opportunities to apply concepts they’ve learned.
-
Post-Assessment
To measure the effectiveness of the programme, we carry out an assessment similar to the one conducted before.
-
Dashboards
It ain’t over till it’s over. We provide hard data to assess overall programme impact through periodic dashboards.
Pre-Training (40%)
L1 - Need Analysis
Our focus is to understand the impact matrix of the programme. We meet with the leaders to gain their perspective.
L2 - Need Analysis
Next we meet with some of the participants to understand their viewpoint and their expectations. We also gauge their current capability.
360 Degree Feedback
We can run a 360 degree feedback for the delegates to get a deeper understanding of their standing in the orgainzation.
Psychometric Assessment Tool (PAT)
We could also run a PAT which would help us personalise the programme for each delegate based on their communication and leadership styles.
Pre & Post Reads
To maximise the training impact, we send contextualised content in a digital format making it easy for the delegates to absorb..
Assessment Centres
We also conduct Assessment Centres to map the participants behaviour, skills and communication in difficult situations.

Post-Training (40%)
Start Stop Continue (SSC)
After the programme we get the delegates to fill out a SSC form, this helps them focus on one learning objective and usually is the basis of the post training plan.
Recognition Emails
To motivate the delegates we often send out personalised recognition emails to the delegates acknowledging and thanking them for their contribution in the programme.
Coaching
We conduct individual or focused group sessions where the delegates can focus on how they can leverage their strengths to be more effective in a given situation.
Practice Tasks
Practice tasks allow the delegates to hone their skills in a safe and private environment.
Blended Learning
To maximise the training impact, we also leverage a blended learning approach that allows the delegates access and consume the information on the go..
Retention Tools
To help recall of the content shared, we create retention tools that carry a synopsis of the key topics, these can later be printed and placed at their workstations.
