MOTIVATION EVENTS
At ADEPT we have experience of running team sessions which are built into "Kick-off" type events. The aims of such sessions are to increase team spirit, enhance and build on previous team development processes and to improve morale.
These sessions can be stand alone or devised to fit into the "Kick-off" theme. Examples of this are:
3) Delivery: If required, we can arrange delivery of training as identified in the analysis and prioritised in the training plan. We can also offer a partial service, being able to provide any part of the process outlined above or simply by training your own staff in the process.
- A kit pedal car building and racing competition, to complement the theme of winning motor racing teams.
- A "Panto Horse race" - to complement a "success at the races" theme.
FIELD ACCOMPANIMENT
A method of supporting and reinforcing learning through workshops which we use successfully, is for a consultant to accompany individuals in their actual jobs. Using Behaviour Analysis techniques, actual behaviours are recorded and feedback given to the individuals in a coaching environment. This has proved effective with positions such as sales personnel, customer engineers, managers and anyone who has to interface with others.MENTORING / COACHING / COUNSELLING
ADEPT's consultants have wide experience of providing an external confidential service to key people who wish to enhance their skills and knowledge learned both on training courses and on the job. An individual consultant will meet at regular intervals with the individual to discuss, monitor and give guidance on their actual behaviours. This is a highly effective and time efficient method of reinforcing changes in behaviour and skills. This includes the Management Motivation Techniques - a semi-structured interview which enable specific individual recommendations and diagnosis to be made.DEVELOPMENT CENTRES
ADEPT are experienced in designing and running Development Centres using a wide variety of assessment tools. As one of the first designers of the Development Centre, rather than the pure Assessment Centre, ADEPT can design centres across the spectrum from pure assessment by others as used in selection through to highly participative individual career workshops where the individual participants take responsibility for their own career development. The tools used include:- 3600 Feedback from bosses, peers, subordinates, customers and self
- Psychometric questionnaires
- Aptitude tests
- In-baskets
- Group Exercises
- Outdoor exercises
- Interviews
OUTPLACEMENT
Our consultants are highly experienced in providing counselling and training to individuals and groups of people whose jobs are redundant. The services range from on site counselling immediately after redundancies are announced to provision of training in the skills of job search. This would include helping individuals to decide on their career options, preparation and production of CVs, job search techniques and interview skills. The particular programmes are designed to fit individual client needs.TRAINING / DEVELOPMENT NEEDS ANALYSIS
We live in an age of change. If organisations are to survive they must make sure that their people remain able to perform alongside the best. This takes training - and training can cost a great deal of money. That is why training needs analysis is so important - to make sure that the right money and time is spent delivering the right training to the right people at the right time. The ADEPT training needs analysis service - based on many years' skill and experience - is designed to do just that. The full service is in three stages:- Analysis: ADEPT consultants are able to provide a unified training needs analysis by means of the following:
- 1:1 Interviews and group discussions with all goal-setters within the organisation.
- Analysis of trends shown up by, for example, appraisal documents.
- Analysis of investment and marketing plans for their training implications.
-
2) Planning: Having conducted the analysis, we provide a training plan which is:
- Relevant to the actual needs of the organisation.
- Timed with "train by" dates and objectives for all areas covered.
- Sourced - so that resources (including internal resources) are identified and able to be contacted.
- Costed - so that the organisation fully understands the "how much" as well as the "how" and "why" of it's future training expenditure.
3) Delivery: If required, we can arrange delivery of training as identified in the analysis and prioritised in the training plan. We can also offer a partial service, being able to provide any part of the process outlined above or simply by training your own staff in the process.
