OPTION 2 - TRAIN-THE-TRAINER CERTIFICATION:
Your designated personnel attend a two-day certification process and receive credentials to facilitate workshops, or workshop modules for groups, teams and departments throughout your organization.
Prior to certification, QuestMark will consult with your key personnel to determine, design and develop the most appropriate workshop agenda for your designated facilitators to be certified to deliver throughout your organization. Depending upon your current business realities and desired outcomes, the finalized workshop content and agenda may include modules, principles, tools, models and methodologies from a variety of QuestMark intellectual property (Ex: accountability, change, culture, execution, leadership, employee engagement).
Once certified, your facilitators have the flexibility to conduct the entire workshop, or modules of the workshop, to teams, departments and business units throughout your organization as needed.
OPTION 3 - LICENSING AGREEMENT:
The move to a peak performing culture can be accelerated by integrating our tools, models, principles and language into as many of your systems and processes as possible. This immersion embeds the principles to a greater degree of precision. This approach results in the shifts in behaviors and beliefs you want to realize being accomplished quicker and to a deeper degree of impact.
This ‘licensing agreement’ includes access to all of our intellectual property (accountability, change, culture, execution, leadership, employee engagement), tools, models, principles, as well as onsite consultation support by senior QuestMark consultants to help identify and determine appropriate systems and processes where integration/linkage can be made (for example: with any rewards and recognition systems, performance management systems, etc.). It also includes customization of content to integrate seamlessly into your unique culture.
The licensing agreement provides additional flexibility around when, where, and how the tools, models and principles are used within your organization. The tools, models, principles and language become part of the way you do business. The result is an organization comprised with employees who are aligned around your must-achieve desired results and who possess the perseverance, ownership and accountability to ensure those desired results are achieved.
Additional benefits of the licensing agreement approach:
• Flexibility in design and delivery – Choose which models and tools you would like to focus attention, and then build custom learning experiences to integrate into the way your organization currently operates. These could be one-hour ‘brown bags’, half-day workshops, full-day workshops, or whatever works for your employees, teams, departments, work groups, project teams, or organization. You have the option to custom assemble a workshop and use only the models, tools and principles most needed for a particular target audience. You are not forced to use a ‘one size fits all’ solution.
• Integration into current systems and processes – Accountability becomes the way you do business. Ability to integrate models, tools, principles and language into all of your systems and processes. For example, integrating the 20 ‘best practices’ into your performance management or your rewards and recognition systems.
• Flexibility to consider all intellectual property available, and then choose and start with the models and tools that are most needed and that will have quickest impact and highest return on your investment.
• Rights to train all of your employees as well as all ‘turnover’ (new hires)
• Achieve critical mass quicker – realize desired culture change sooner
• Broaden and accelerate reach to all levels of the organization – Multiple internal facilitators are quickly certified allowing you to achieve critical mass in a shortened timeframe. The result is an organization using common language, tools and principles that heighten individual and organizational accountability.
• Greater ownership – When multiple champions and internal facilitators are in place, increased ownership for the solution is elevated.
• Significant Savings in Training Costs – Because the learning and development is integrated and takes place through existing mechanisms and the way your organization currently operates, there is no need for employees to take time ‘away from their job’ to attend a workshop.
• Pragmatic/Practical/Memorable – The learning and development is delivered in easy to embrace and short segments. Significantly adding to retention, sustainability and application of the learning.
• Not overwhelming for those leading the sessions – Internal facilitators are not burdened with ‘memorizing’ or becoming ‘expert’ in a full-day, or multiple days worth of content. Rather, they focus on only one or two key principles or models during each experience - making them more effective, competent and capable with that area of focus.
• Ease of implementation and coordination - Deliver training and development as part of or during existing meetings and structure of the business. No additional meetings, workshops or events to schedule. No interruption to your business.
• Sustainability – learning over time through immediate application through bite-sized segments.
• Ability to customize to your culture, your learning systems, and processes. The content can be tailored based upon what you believe will work best for your organization.
OPTION 4 - CONFERENCE EVENT PARTICIPATION:
QuestMark is available to participate in conference events and other offsite meetings. We partner with our clients in a variety of ways during conference events. Some, or all of the following can be incorporated into your conference and offsite events:
• Custom Keynote Speeches: 60, 90 and 120 minute versions (accountability, change, culture, execution, leadership, employee engagement, brand, mindfulness, new world for work, leading your career, disruption).
• Breakout Sessions: Take a deeper dive and create additional awareness and understanding into any of the focus areas and topics that are of most interest to you and your team.
• Concurrent Breakout Sessions: Participants choose from multiple breakout sessions focused on various topics from which to attend.
• Half-day Workshops: The step beyond awareness and understanding. We equip your participants with additional knowledge and then develop their skills and competencies. They leave the workshop fully prepared, confident and capable.
