CHALLENGE - Design Learning Platform

We design a customized learning platform to target identified development needs. Learning activities are designed to challenge and stretch comfort zones, because challenge drives learning and learning drives change. We integrate a variety of learning experiences with opportunities for experimentation and practice.

We offer the following learning solutions to enhance the performance of individuals, teams, and organizations:

Skill-Based Training

Although training is not always the right approach, it is when an identified deficiency exists in a specific skill or ability necessary for current or future on-the-job success.   We provide highly professional, customized, just-in-time training in a classroom, web-based or blended approach.  We cover a variety of business and leadership subjects where we have depth and expertise, such as the EXIANCE Business Detective Series and EXIANCE Leadership Bootcamp.

Train-the-Trainer

Train-the-Trainer is an affordable and efficient option for implementing large-scale learning and change management initiatives.  First, a group of internal trainers is selected.  Second, customized training content and delivery methods are developed.  All trainers then participate in a presentation skills workshop and receive in-depth content training complete with instructor’s facilitation notes.  Next, the trainers train the organization and we work with you to measure success.

Experiential Learning

Without opportunities for practical, on-the-job experience, performance improvements are often fleeting.  We help our clients architect experiential learning events to practice new skills and close competency gaps.  These activities include special “stretch” assignments, strategic projects, action learning, or other tailored real world experiences that support the performance of the organization by simultaneously developing leaders and tackling important business issues.

Team Building Workshops

Teams perform best when they:  are cohesive, have mutual trust and accountability, share a unified purpose, set and achieve goals, communicate openly, manage conflict, make collective decisions, and have clear roles.  Our customized Team Building workshops help teams remove barriers to effective, efficient group performance.

Nature Expeditions

Work groups often benefit when they are removed from the day-to-day business environment and thrust into unfamiliar challenges that require blind trust and raw collaboration to succeed.  We lead our clients through exciting, hands-on journeys in outdoor settings that improve team member relationships and accelerate team evolution.

Strategic Retreat

We offer a customized, multi-day, offsite leadership retreat to focus on strategic planning and implementation.  Strategy development combined with group facilitation ensures your plan of action has the involvement and commitment of your entire leadership team.  We work with you to design a results-oriented agenda and facilitate a powerful strategic retreat.

Leadership Development

We help our clients build leadership benchstrength by developing a world-class leadership development strategy aligned with their strategic plan.  We assist in the development and implementation of customized programs such as:  competency models, flexible and multi-dimensional learning platforms, leadership curriculums, mentor and coaching programs, experiential learning, rotational assignments, 360 Degree feedback, and succession planning.
