Our training approach
Our objectives in change-management trainings and seminars are
- imparting current knowledge and latest change-management trends
- maximum knowledge gain through tailor-made content
- enduring empowerment of the participants
- practice-oriented transfer into everyday management
We achieve this by
- conveying the basics, models and tools
so that all participants are strengthened and well prepared for their individual challenges “back at base” - using lively and activating coaching settings
Use of interactive methods for presentation and tuition - casework
for maximum transfer - lively presentation of topics
Real-life examples and their application in practice - safeguarding all findings and results
through detailed training documents and photo result logs of the interactive seminar sessions - case clinic
Support and coaching during ongoing change projects
Our methodological approaches:
- Alternating informative input “to the point” with in-depth group work
Different learning scenarios make learning and processing of information easier – even on long seminar days - Work on real-life cases contributed by participants
Optionally also to include collegial casework - Developing and securing new insights
Knowledge management and safeguarding the learning progress of the group - Recording of results
for optimum transfer into practice
Our approach – for optimum learning success and long-term benefits
We maximize the impact of our change-management training in three steps:
Before the training:
- Telephone interviews with a proxy group of participants in advance to explore and coordinate the actual training requirements
- In addition, e-mailsurvey on expectations and topics with all participants
- Clarification and adaptation of the above outlined curriculum to the actual needs of the participants
- Coordination and finalization of the actual contents with those responsible
During the change-management training:
- Work with real-life case studies of the participants
- “Case clinic”: What to do if…
- Bonus: lots of practical tips from seasoned change-managers with years of practical experience
- Individually designed training content: tailored to the participants’ prior knowledge and further consolidation as required
After the training (optional):
Supporting the participants in their change projects,which they themselves are responsible for in the company (ensuring the transfer of knowledge into practice, anchoring the acquired knowledge in real working life)
- through telephone coaching,
- Skype coaching,
- e-mail coaching
- or “on-site” coaching
Work on real-life cases
In the past, working with real-life case studies from each company has been found to be very useful. During the workshop, participants of our change-management trainings and seminars can
- introduce concrete case examples
- developsolutions for the case concerned
- draw conclusions for similar cases in day-to-day management (develop approaches for a common “Change-mangement Manual” as a substantive reference for the rest of the process)
- establish common management principles
- … learn together
In this way, we ensure optimal transfer between theory and practice and integrate our own learning experiences.
