Training

MORRIS • ASSOCIATES INC. takes an active role in designing and customizing presentation and training agendas and materials with you so we can address the key needs of your organization.

Our full-service, before-during-after approach ensures that participants maximize time at the event by focusing on pre-defined learning goals, channeling activities and producing desired results from the moment training begins.

PRE-EVENT:

Define Learning Goals, Set the Stage
  • Listen to understand organizational culture and context (who and what) and to define specific training focus and relevance (why and how).
  • Develop preliminary workshop objectives and agenda.
  • If appropriate, hold an informal meeting or call with a focus group of participants to refine and reinforce workshop objectives and agenda and to set the stage for an effective event.

EVENT:

Fun, Fast, Productive
  • Promote a high-energy interactive environment, with participative exercises and discussions punctuated by focused presentations of key points.
  • Facilitate learning, goal-achievement and skill development through practice and practical application.
  • Capture and reinforce participant input and learning through review and post-event process.

POST-EVENT:

Follow-Through and Follow-Up
  • Format, edit and word process results from the event to be distributed to participants after the workshop.
  • Review training results with management to help structure follow-up communications to participants. Depending on your goals, we can set another meeting and hold a 60 – 90 minute review and reinforce training with participants to insure skills learned are effectively being used on the job.
