Hi Martine,

Alexis is spot on with the breakdown and it really does depend on what you're looking for in terms of support, set up report admin...development and training to be able to deliver in house in the future..or just a straight forward consultant / trainer feedback on the report.

You might be interested in this as an option

together with this pricing list..

 Hi there,

Well where to start as there's a lot to consider with Grad Dev programme. We have extensive experience of working with grad schemes for large multi-nationals.

 www.toojays.co.uk/index.php  gives some detail.

But if I were to advise on some key points based on our experience I'd say..

1. Educate the rest of the business - let them know as much about the Grad programme as possible (Expectations / purpose / high standards / credibility of grads etc etc.

2. Educate placement managers - Line managers often don't know how to utilise or engage with grads during their secondment and as a result this can massively impact on the grad experience...limiting their learning and effecting their motivation.

3. Have a clear structure of Development, (Business & Soft Skills) that evolves and grows with the graduate. I.e no point giving them knowledge on handling change and conflict as a last workshop on their programme- they will have benefited from knowing from the start!

4. Performance manage them transparently...and get the Grads feedback...and act on it.

Plenty more after 10 years of supporting Grad programmes...let me know if can help further.

 hi Sair,

We use all the 'traditional' approaches that you mention MBTi, Belbin, SHL, Drexlar-Sibbett, Tuckman etc.....and they do serve a purpose but we're strong advocates of SDI (Strength Deployment Inventory) and Lencioni's 5 Dysfunction. 

We find these to be great at moving away from 'heavy' theory and analysis and quickly on to 'so how do we apply this awareness'.

Combined with our experiential outdoor (and indoor) tasks to embed the behaviours and explore the application we have great feedback on how effective they are.

Take a look for yourself...youtu.be/6QrG90e3orI or the other videos we have on the site.

Or if interested in the SDI and Lencioni I'd be happy to let you have some details / sample material.

Here's some info on the SDI www.youtube.com/watch

 Agree with Jenny,

Although you need to also ask both the sponsor (who engaged you to put this together) and the potential audience of expected and desired outcomes, in order to tailor your content / format / duration / measurement for success etc.

happy to advise on our experience of desiging and delivering HPT courses in Europe.

 Hi Nick,

For our Advanced Management Development Programme (open programme - series of module workshops) and our Heineken graduate Development programme, we have integrated the use of social media into the programmes.

Specifically we set up unique forum groups for attendees to access on our website prior to and post workshops.

The intention was to act as an additional blended learning approach...enabling facilitator engagement outside of the formal workshops and for attendees to continue conversations and debate, sharing experiences amongst themselves. 

It is also an opportunity to post documents, set tests and pre-workshop work.

Access to the course forum group is restricted to attendees only. On our team development programmes we post videos and pictures on our facebook page and invite comments, likes and discussion.

Take up on all aspects is varied. 

It depends alot on the value individuals feel they are getting form the engagement. The times where we've 'led' groups to the discussion are where we get most interaction. However, we're yet to see discussion and engagement continue long after the programme is concluded.

Yet to figure out what we need to do to continue to hold the interest....but initally the engagement can be very useful. We are also looking to combine m-learning engagement to this process as a further way to engage learners pre and post course.

Happy to demo the forums set up at any time.

Regards
