THE WAY BLENDED LEARNING STUDIO WORKS

Working with new clients or projects, our process begins with exploration, asking insightful questions and analysing any key documents and information provided.  However, if a client already knows what solution they want, e.g. an employee survey, then the process is more straightforward and we move towards design.

If this is a complex organisation challenge or an innovative solution is required the we may need to delve deeper to explore and discover our options.  The beauty of hiring an external consultant is that they can offer an new and unique perspective. However, when we successfully uncover your particular organisational challenge need or want, we are then on the road to delivering your desired outcome.

This is where I either launch straight into delivery for standard product delivery or begin scoping, designing and delivering on more complex solutions.

Based on my roadmap and project plan, I now get to work on delivering your solution, keeping you informed at intervals that you request and keeping you informed about any challenges or influences that may change (positively or negatively) the scope of work.

Now it’s time to launch into analysis. Depending on the required the solution and what you prefer, the analysis can range from a brief discussion with you and/ or your team to a full blown analysis including primary (internal analysis inside your company using surveys,1:1 interviews, focus groups and desktop research) to secondary research (external trends and competitor analysis) delivered over a period of time.

This then results in the creation of a strategy and roadmap to delivering your final solution. We work in partnership to create action plans that you’re happy with it.

When the solution is delivered at the summit, depending on what was agreed upon at the outset, I can support the evaluation and analysis of the solution where appropriate. I then like to gain feedback from the client on what worked well and where we can improve.

Thankfully, my feedback is always positive, but although I reflect on my own personal performance, it’s helpful to gain the client’s perspective.

We want to help you to achieve peak performance on both a professional and personal level by supporting you to move your team and your leadership performance to a higher level.
