Most of the training delivered by Continuum is bespoked and tailored for specific client needs. We pride ourselves on creating tailored solutions which focus at a practical level of the skills and behaviours needed to create real change in the workplace.
Detailed below is an example of how we typically approach the design of a training initiative within an organisation.
Our approach consists of up to three stages:
1. Programme Design
2. Programme Delivery
3. Ongoing Review
Each stage would inform the next, and the client would approve each stage as appropriate.
Each Stage is briefly outlined below.
Stage 1: Programme Design
To ensure best practice is delivered in every solution, Continuum has developed a generic Learning Process which ensures all elements of effective learning are identified and achieved.
Design & Delivery Framework
Within the overall process, as a matter of course, the design and delivery of any learning solution would be based on the following framework:
- Identified business benefits/ROI
- Clear purpose and learning outcomes
- Self analysis
- Knowledge input
- Activity/skill practice
- Evaluation and review
- Action planning/learning log completion
- Follow-up coaching and mentoring
Stage 2: Programme Delivery
Pre course and post course work can be set and evaluated if required by the client and the content of this would be determined from the analysis stage.
The exact content for any training would be determined after the Analysis Stage, however, each workshop would include:
- Skill practice
- Self Discovery/Personal Benchmarking
- Knowledge Input
- Action Planning
All key messages would be supported with appropriate visual aids, content for internal learning Intranets and the option of ongoing coaching if appropriate.
All Workshops are highly experiential with plenty of opportunity for discussion, challenge and feedback. This ensures the workshops are focused and suited to the needs of the delegates. We would advise coaching sessions to be included.
Stage 3: On-going Review
There should be an on-going review process to ensure that:
- The learning needs are being met
- The programme is delivering the required outputs
- Expectations agreed by managers are being met
- Action plans are being maintained
Feedback would be collected and Continuum and the client would meet to assess any required changes.
