Training Consultancy
The Business Development
Consultancy undertakes a significant amount of work, which would fall
under the banner of Training Consultancy. This can involve quite small project,
perhaps lasting one day, helping specific work teams to identify issues
and solutions to larger assignments lasting over a period of months. Often
this work will include the design of management development programmes,
which again may last anything from half a day to several months. However,
in broad terms training Consultancy is covered under the following headings:
- Training needs analysis and training strategy development
- Bespoke programme design and deliver
- Accredited programmes
Training Needs Analysis and Training Strategy Development
Training and development although commendable concepts, if mis-directed or poorly focused will prove to be a wasteful both to the learner and the organisation. Identification of training needs provides the basis for the provision of focused training and development activities aimed at achieving impact and helping the organisation meet its objectives and purpose. The BDC has assisted several organisations develop an approach to training needs analysis and in designing a robust training and development strategy. Often this entails obtaining the right information, establishing the purpose of training, normally linking into the Business plan objectives, establishing policy and finally designing and delivering a training plan. Our approach is clearly designed to meet:
- Organisational needs
- Group/team needs
- Individual needs
Experience suggests that by taking this approach organisations have designed and delivered a robust training and development strategy which stands the test of time.
