Talent development used to be about building a training program, reserving a classroom, and filling the seats. Not anymore. Leadership and employee development should focus on changing business results by helping employees behave differently. It’s all about making an impact.
That behavior change occurs when your employees gain new skills and/or develop new attitudes.
In today’s rapidly changing workplace environment, your talent develop strategies need to be flexible and responsive.
Your toolkit might include:
- One-on-one coaching/mentoring
- Cohort programs
- Experiential learning events
- Instructor-led webinars
- Traditional classroom sessions
- Intranet content (Self developed and curated)
- E-learning courseware
- On-demand videos and articles
- Developmental job assignments
- Social learning
- Job aids
And the list goes on.
Regardless of the delivery vehicle, our development services maintain two simple goals:
- Build practical skills that can be put to immediate use.
- Turn those skills into habits that improve performance.
With over 30 years and thousands of learning activities delivered, we know how to get results. If it involves people working together and increasing their professional effectiveness, we have probably developed and delivered a program on the topic.
