Development Methods
Our resource allows you to take advantage of any combination of
the following services that we have used successfully in the past:
Facilitation Workshops
We have run many facilitation workshops focused on specific business,
performance or behavioural change. These have covered everything
from Inspirational Leadership and Emotional Intelligence through
Performance Management to specific Problem Solving, Teambuilding,
Customer Service and Sales and Business Development.
Experiential Learning
Psychologists’ state that we remember 10% of what we Hear,
20% of what we See and 90% of what we Experience.
It is for this reason that Progress International utilises (where
appropriate) Experiential Learning techniques where the attendees
can experience fun and serious development – ensuring that
90% of the learning experience is absorbed, remembered and transferred
into the work environment.
Typical learning outcomes would include:
There is clear measurement of
skill

Mini-Workshops and Seminars
These have varied from half hour sessions, through two, three and
four hour sessions to half day seminars and have varied from small
group meetings to company wide workshops or presentations.
Interactive and live online seminars on a variety of topics have
been run for a major Blue Chip client. These seminars have been
stored on their intranet and are regularly referred to by employees
at all levels.
Skills Development Workshops
We offer a wide range of traditional skills development training
courses covering standard material at one end of the spectrum, to
bespoke workshops that focus on, develop and measure specific competences.
The mix varies with pre-course work, design of specific case studies,
role-play, video recording and the use of actors, where appropriate.
Feedback Systems
Getting honest and accurate feedback for all managers and employees
is a challenge for any company. We have helped many organisations
increase the effectiveness of their feedback systems and have successfully
facilitated 360 degree feedback and designed subsequent programmes
based on development needs identified. We have the ability to run
an electronic and remote 360 degree feedback system.
One to One Coaching
One to One Coaching – Many coaching sessions have been run
mostly at executive level covering a wide range of leadership, change,
performance, behavioural and development objectives.
Remote Coaching
Once a development programme is completed there is sometimes a need
for ongoing support for managers or directors. Remote Coaching by
our Professional Coaches using telephone appointments allows us
to continue the support. Remote Coaching is a time efficient and
cost effective support to follow up change and development initiatives.
Supporting Your Own Development
Solutions
This involves the training and support to enable your staff to deliver
training, facilitation, coaching or problem solving workshops and
may include identifying and supporting champions for specific issues.
We have also written material and designed and produced handouts
for a range of projects.
Performance Management Systems
Over the years we have provided much assistance with design and
implementation of Performance Management Systems. Occasionally this
has been from inception to evaluation, but often it has been to
add the human elements to make a paper process come to life and
produce results.
e-learning
We have a resource library of over 1700 titles and can design bespoke
subjects. These cover soft skills, business skills and IT topics.
In addition our unique platform offers, Full client rebranding,
online performance management, appraisals, 360-degree feedback,
personal training planners, automated compliance training and testing.
Blended Learning
We recognise that a combination of learning methods can increase
the effectiveness and efficiency of development of staff. The most
common request is for online learning prior to practical workshops
for honing skills or discussing application of that learning.
Accreditation
Most of our work can be accredited with the ILM or a similar accreditation
body, subject to your requirements. We feel strongly that accreditation
is linked to the achievement of business objectives rather than
being an academic achievement. Talk to us about how we can dove
tail your business results with the national accreditation framework.
