Training Activities and Learning Tasks
Delegates learn by DOING
delegates learn through RELEVANCE
Both learning and enjoyment are enhanced if activities and exercises are perceived by participants as RELEVANT TO THEIR JOBS
delegates use and practise skills they use in their work ★
stresses and pressures simulate those at work - eg a time constraint ★
objectives simulate those at work - eg a profit (rather than "winning"!) ★
interactions simulate work responsibilities - teamwork, negotiating ★
debriefings and appraisals relate experiences to responsibilities ★
all our tasks, business games and activities have SERIOUS learning objectives tailor-made to the roles and "levels" of participants
Delegates learn by DOING - we don’t believe in slide shows or lectures! We do use them, of course, but only as necessary for introduction and direction. Our experiential resources are huge, varied and growing all the time.
Leadership Tasks & the "Leadership Millionaire"
Most of our leadership tasks have been written to be objectively measurable in terms of PROFIT, with appointed team leaders always having a CHOICE of different resources at different prices. Each member of each team is credited with his/her share of profit earned, which can be carried forward - often, depending on course objectives, towards the goal of becoming a "Millionaire" - though with money only valid with "The Royal Bank of Impetus"!
flexibility, adaptability, creativity - for RESULTS
The two illustrated below are the same task (A Floating Puzzle) but different versions - not just in terms of location, but because one was for a senior management team and the other was for graduate trainees.
Sometimes our money has real value though: eg on the Leadership Millionaire course at Great Tower, where all money earned on day one is used to buy food from "The Tutors' Deli" for the Gourmet Challenge in the evening.
below is a sample of our original experiential tasks
- those in red are selling and negotiating tasks
