Corporate Programmes:

There are many benefits in developing corporate training programmes using current and developing best practices. Apart from introducing change, the programme can also help in developing a culture, that is, a collective change in behaviour. This is very often a catalyst in reaching for higher performance and sustainable competitive advantages which all businesses struggle to acquire.

Externally developed courses may not capture the detail of the current systems within a business. As such, it creates the opportunity to challenge the status quo in a controlled environment - an opportunity for everyone to add the benefit of their experience in a positive examination of how to improve. There are many advantages of corporate development pogrammes:

• Greater relevance, less waste and more focus
• Timing - we can arrange the course dates and duration to suit your workload, even running the course over weekends
• There are always substantial savings to be made with in-house training. Discounts can be arranged for groups, venue, loyalty and so on
• Corporate training validates your own tools and techniques within broad best practice concepts
• The development of staff to acquire project management qualification such as the Association for Project Management APMP qualification is an excellent marketing strategy for companies involved in projects or internal change management
• Security of your business advantage by strengthening those processes which support it
• Beneficial exposure to current best practice for your professionals
• Opportunity to challenge your corporate practices against a template of current best practice
• Re-link your corporate identity to latest management innovation
• At the project level there is more efficiency, more collaboration, better control of risk, value, quality, cost and time together with a reduction in conflict

Challenging your current systems:

• Systems do not last forever; they have shelf life. They will be constantly challenged by those who use them, resulting in wasted time and effort. By modifying your systems based on current best practice, it provides the authority required to gain exceptional performance.
• If there are problems with your current systems, now is a good time to start planning the re-engineering required to upgrade them and move on.
• Habits, behaviour and confidence can all have an effect on your systems - your systems could be well considered and yet could still be inefficient. Give them a vote of confidence.
• Companies tend not to externally benchmark and so have no real knowledge of the efficiency of their systems or the alternatives available. A form of Group Think takes over from there.

We can help you develop your corporate programmes.

Themes:

Very often a single training course does not have the necessary coverage to satisfy the needs of a particular business or individual. For this reason we develop “short programmes”, a subset of topics selected to specifically cover the whole of an important issue. Project management could be such an issue though rather a large one. ...
