Evaluation and Assesssment

For all of our services, we offer customized packages including preparation, delivery and follow-up.

Preparation

• Needs Analysis
  We analyze the learning needs of the organization, team, and potential participants, and then develop the right mix of learning experiences to meet those needs.

• Pre-Workshop Questionnaire Or Interviews
  We design, collate, and analyze pre-workshop questionnaires and conduct interviews.
  Low cost/high yield tools to:
  • Ensure that the session meets the needs;
  • Determine issues critical to the success of the workshop;
  • Identify important workplace or organizational issues to address.
  • Engage participants in the learning process before the workshop begins;
  • Use responses to ensure commitment and a sense of ownership in the workshop and workshop results;
• Self-Evaluations
  In many cases, participants complete self-evaluations to focus on the portion of the learning experience that most effectively addresses personal, team and/or organizational strengths and weaknesses.
• Pre-Workshop Reading
  In some cases, pre-workshop reading material or online research prepares the participants for a richer learning experience.

• Coaching for leaders and/or workshop sponsors helps them play their roles effectively before, during and after the session.  This is often important in organizational initiatives and team-building.

Follow-up and follow-through

Maintaining momentum of the initiative is a critical factor in enjoying ROI in any OD, team-building, or personal learning experience. 

An initiative maintained becomes a habit, a normal way of doing business, and then an organizational culture.  Therefore, your initiative may require any combination of follow-up sessions:

• Follow-on session to build on skills, strategies, vision, practices and plans;
• Coaching;
• Integration of learning and/or plans into performance contracts, feedback sessions, performance evaluations, team charters, compensation, recognition, rewards;
• Development of in-house facilitators and coaches;
• Lunch time “brown-bag” learning sessions.
