Curriculum Design and Development

One ingredient in establishing and maintaining quality and high performance is a training, education and development program. We have a comprehensive understanding of, and years of hands-on experience with, the design and development process for training, education and development programs, including:

Needs assessment

Delivery of programs

Design and development

Review and improvement

Incorporating adult learning principles

Observation and continuous revision

Pilot programs

Program and curriculum evaluation

This design and development process yields high caliber programs. Particular areas of specialization include:

Identification of applied leadership and management skills required for those in positions of responsibility from top level executives through first line supervisors;

Design of a complete curriculum of training, education and development that is linked to achieving organizational goals and objectives;

Training effectiveness: determination of the most effective methods to "get the message across and make it stick;"

Program design: formulation of individual programs to accomplish specified objectives in accord with principles of instructional design and adult learning;

Program development: complete development and documentation of educational programs including, materials, specifications for equipment and logistics, program leader selection criteria, piloting, and continuing evaluation methodology;

Train-the-trainer: complete design and delivery of inspiring and energizing preparatory programs for the facilitators/instructors; and,

Program delivery: highly effective and energetic presentations that are particularly valuable in communicating difficult concepts and relating those concepts to the business experience of the program participants.
