What is a Training Academy?
A Training Academy is your organisation’s executive education centre. This means that you have access to experienced trainers and industry experts. These training professionals ensure every training programme adds value to your business. Every aspect of the training reflects your organisation's values and culture. Every delegate on the Academy brings new learning to your business.
By using Bladonmore’s proven training capabilities, you will achieve real results.
How does it work?
Outsourcing Training - First Step
First, we look at the priorities you face in your business over the coming years. We look at the individuals in your organisation, their needs and what the organisation wants to achieve. From this, we help you determine how best to train people to deliver against those objectives.
Outsourcing Training - Second Step
Bladonmore provides an experienced course creator and leader to design a programme that meets your requirements. Bladonmore assembles a team of industry experts and trainers, and develops courses to match your business requirements. These are fully integrated with your business and the training is positioned as an essential aspect of your employees' development.
Outsourcing Training - Third Step
We review the skills of your staff and provide training assessments. Each course is crafted to the individual’s requirements. The courses and individuals are discussed with senior management so that maximum benefit is derived from every session. Every course is accompanied by feedback and ongoing assignments to ensure the training delivers long term benefits.
Outsourced Training - Case Studies
Case Study 1 - Developing Core Skills and Improving Recruitment
One organisation is looking to develop the core skills of potential high-fliers within the company. Bladonmore developed a three year training academy that involves the delivery of one course per month to different tiers of individuals that work for the company. Generic programmes such as account management and negotiation skills have been re-built, based on developing the tailored approach that the organisation has now adopted as its standard operating procedure. The performance level of the team has already improved. The Academy has become a vital recruiting tool for the Company.
Case Study 2- Succession Planning
A second organisation faces succession issues. It appointed Bladonmore Training to interview all its senior executives and create an in-house wisdom centre. This centre physically sits on the executive committee’s password protected intranet site. It contains a series of written and filmed interviews that provide a ‘how to’ series of answers for the next generation of business leaders within that organisation.
Case Study 3 - Preparing for Increased Competition
A third organisation is faced with a highly competitive industry where the quality of their interaction with customers and potential customers is key to their continued out performance. Bladonmore has developed an ongoing programme, working with every client-facing member of staff, to improve the quality of their team skills. After 7 months the Company is already noting increased skill levels and increased sales.
Next Step
The solution for every company is different. Bladonmore has a huge roster of experienced business experts to call upon. Every course is tailored to match your organisation's needs.
The Academy programme is likely to involve blended learning, mixing on-line, screen and traditional training techniques to maximise its effectiveness. Nothing survives without evolution and it shall evolve as your business changes.
