Why do so many organizations around the world struggle to build capable frontline leaders? Limited training on leadership skills and insufficient coaching and support are common issues.

These real-world situations provide a highly accurate measurement of a participant’s readiness for frontline leadership positions.

Approach – Training and Assessment Design

 

On the overall approach, we found the following to produce the most positive impact for the organization:

 

• Tying in the company’s values and vision, financial intelligence and business  unit/ department/ individual metrics and goals to the training.
• Forming a team that’s the best in their field to get the maximum result, less gaps, lasting impact and no need to redo or redesign because the program delivers requirements and expectations
• Organization transparency builds trust and loyalty to the success of the business
• Pre and post assessment to show improvement
• Combining different delivery models to assure sustainability

 

We Provide Experiential Learning – Learning by Doing to Positively Impact the Business’ Bottom-line

 

 

Pre-Training

 

• BG builds assessments on learning/ personality/ work styles, baseline knowledge and expectations

 

• Facilitators review assessment results before the scheduled workshop and align the workshop flow to ensure better participant experience and retention.

 

• By recognizing and understanding participant’s learning styles, facilitators can use techniques to better suit each group. This improves the speed and quality of team members’ learning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

High-Impact Learning

 

• Workshop activities integrate the four-stage cycle of learning, in which 'immediate or concrete experiences' provide a basis for 'observations and reflections'.  These 'observations and reflections' are assimilated and distilled into 'abstract concepts' producing new implications for action which can be 'actively tested' in turn creating new experiences.

 

• Participants will 'touch all the bases', i.e., a cycle of experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and acting. Immediate or concrete experiences lead to observations and reflections. These reflections are then assimilated (absorbed and translated) into abstract concepts with implications for action, which the person can actively test and experiment with, which in turn enable the creation of new experiences
