Instructional Design and Curriculum Consulting

Our areas of specialty are conducting need analysis, creating management and sales curriculums, and designing and developing courses to ensure training objectives match the needs of management. All of this work is done to ensure that every training experience is in direct alignment with business objectives.  Finding the right balance between motivational aspects of a meeting and providing training with impact is one of our main goals.
Our training team is one of the few in the industry where its key member has a Masters in Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation. The team will develop training curriculum and programs that follow adult learning principles, engage participants and provide learners with a worthy experience that will improve their knowledge and skills.

The Training Process:
What training needs to be done?
Conduct a needs and gap analysis if gaps in performance have not been identified

What do participants need to know or do differently to make the training successful?
Develop learning objectives that are measurable so they can be evaluated during the training.

What is the best way to get people to learn the information they need to acquire?
Determine the appropriate instructional strategy to accomplish each learning objective by examining the training methodology (case study, brainstorm session) and medium (e-learning, print-based, etc.).

How will you know if the knowledge and skills learned during training are being done on the job?
Develop an evaluation strategy that will examine if behaviors learned during training are being done on the job.

Make training something your employees want to attend because they know it will make them more successful.
