consulting

Our range of consulting services are tailored to organisational and individual requirements. 

Educational Strategy

Do you need:

• clarity around what knowledge and skills are required to achieve organisational goals?
• a greater return on investment from your current education and training activities?
• a plan for managing skill development in your organisation?  

An educational strategy is your accountable action plan that will drive organisational capability, helping you achieve strategic goals sooner than expected.

We facilitate a process that results in the creation of your educational strategy, ready for implementation.

 Your educational strategy will:   

• provide vision and direction for the next two to five years for learning and training.  
• ensure alignment with organisational goals and workforce learning needs.
• identify opportunities for development and implementation.

As a result, you will be able to prioritise learning needs and determine what needs to be developed and delivered, to whom, by whom and in what format.

Program Pressure Testing

Do you need to:

• achieve learning outcomes easier, quickly and cost effectively?
• rejuvenate your current training programs?
• drive greater participation and engagement with your training programs?

Training programs are often designed with a focus on what needs to be learned without a focus on why and how. Research shows that engagement and achievement is enhanced when learning is relevant and directly linked to workplace performance and goals.  

We pressure test training programs and learning event structure, content and delivery against best practice adult learning practices and workplace training standards, providing you with opportunities for improvement. We also consider how your programs can benefit from alignment to the Australian Qualifications Framework and nationally recognised qualifications.

To effectively pressure test your training programs and learning events, we review:

• trainer delivery styles, lesson plans and learning activities.
• program resources and materials.
• knowledge and skill assessment procedures.
• how training programs and learning events are evaluated and measured.
• suitability of training facilities and learning environments.
• the learning needs and preferences of your target participants.

Learning Leadership & Mastery 

Do you need to:

• increase confidence in delivering training and assessing competency?
• equip yourself with the ability to facilitate learning in challenging environments?
• master adult learning practices for exceptional workplace performance and productivity?

We work with trainers and facilitators, helping them increase their mastery in the field of learning leadership, vocational education practices and adult learning principles.

For groups, we conduct in-house and public learning events addressing:

• role and responsibilities of leaders in the field of workplace training.
• key features and benefits of exceptional workplace learning.
• adult learning principles in action in the workplace.
• the differing skills between training delivery and learning facilitation.
• how to manage challenging group dynamics and diversity.
• how to identify and manage individual learning difficulties.
• how to deliver a range of learning activities.

For individuals, we form short-term and long-range mentoring partnerships based on specific needs
