Performance Consulting:
Performance Consulting, where the issues are evaluated that contributes to the
lack of desired performance, and the identification of the needed changes to
make it happen. All to often training becomes the band aid for all performance
problems, when training only applies about 50% of the time. We can help you
see the whole picture, and heal the whole problem, avoiding the band aid
approach.
Training Needs Analysis:
When training is a component of the solution, it is wise to establish a base
for which the most appropriate training methods are applied. Timing,
geography, number of learners, employee skill level, systems available, and
company learning culture are all part of the analysis to determine a
successful return on investment. We can quickly evaluate the scenario you
are facing and develop the plan that works best for you.
Training Plan Development:
The massive pending retirements of the baby-boomer generation over the next
10 years will create more job openings than skilled applicants. Only the
companies that are training their existing base to assume the next job NOW will
have the strategic edge to survive. We can train your staff to create strategic
and career training plans, or we can bring the expertise to you.
Program Development:
Are you ready to launch a customer service program, sales program, or
management / leadership development program? So often these initiatives are
left in the hands of the training class with little support for the whole effort.
We can develop not only a blended learning approach to the skills being
developed, but assist you in identifying all of the pre and post activities to make
your program a success.
Learning Management Systems [LMS]:
Learning Management Systems do not have to be a mind-numbing process.
Evaluating your present and future use of electronic systems, and the impact it
could have on your organization is the essential first step. We can help you
identify what you need, and supply you with the appropriate systems for you to
evaluate.
Human Resources Consulting:
When you outsource, you pay a specialized company to manage specific
responsibilities instead of paying full-time employees to do the work. If you
have hired companies to manage payroll, accounting, computer repair or legal
work, you are already outsourcing. The more specialized the work, the more
outsourcing becomes a prudent choice.
Trainer Coaching:
When was the last time your trainers were coached on their presentation and
facilitation skills? Assuming that they were provided with training in these
skills, most trainers will admit that without observation and coaching, time will
weather away the skills of even the best trainers. Observation, followed by
written and verbal feedback from an experienced facilitator who has managed
trainers can really ignite the fire that may have diminished over time.

Training Review:
Companies budget annually for the training function within their organization.
Thousands of dollars are paid in salary, benefits, tools and programs towards
the learning function. Yet, when was the last time the training function was put
under the same microscope as any other department?
Is training getting a free ride within your organization? Do you know if your
training produces a return on the annual investment?
