High Impact Training

We design, deliver, and facilitate a range of training that not only communicates content, but builds the leadership, communication, and negotiation skills required for success in the context of your organisation.  We have faciliated over 200 high impact learning events of all sizes, around the world, in multiple languages. 

Our focus is on the learner, and being their advocate, to provide them the best learning experience.  Our approach is not to lecture at people, but to be a facilitator of learning, to create the conditions, a safe space, for people to build on what they arleady know and ask any question on their mind.  

Here are few examples of learning and facilitated events. 

Simulations: This 5-day training was custom designed for Ministry staff involved in leading the Presidency of the G20.  It provided participants hands-on experience to understand complex issues by role playing the positions of different countries and negotiating a communique. Staff were then provided intensive training on communication, leadership, negotiation and report writing skills -- all crticial to their success in convening successful meetings and gaining concensus to solve global issues. 

Boot Camp:  A five-day, intensive, face-to-face learning event targetting senior staff at the World Bank. It was designed for staff to reflect on the latest thinking on the complex interactions between governance and economic and social development and provide a series of role plays around interactions with a Minister of Finance and Country Directors. A key feature was the use of story telling to convey technical information and the absence of any powerpoint presentations. 

Communities of Practice (CoP):  Successfully launched of a community of practice of senior officials from Planning Ministries in 8 countries in East Asia.  The purpose was to strengthen knowledge sharing on how to effecitively use planning and budget tools to infuence long-term capital expenditures and shift the direction of budget priorities.
