We deliver programmes following 2 routes:
1. You choose the programme that you feel best addresses your challenges and needs, which we will then tailor specifically to create a solution for your context OR
2. We conduct a thorough Needs Analysis and then create a bespoke programme for you.
In either case, we will ensure that we understand where you are now and where you wish to be, so that we feel confident that we can build the bridges and design the bespoke solution that will take you to your desired new state or desired destination.
Albert Einstein was once asked how he would spend his time if he was given a problem upon which his life depended, and he had only one hour to solve it. He responded,
“I would spend 30 minutes analysing the problem, 20 minutes planning the solution, and 10 minutes executing the solution.”
He advised that for those overly prone to jumping into action, a bit more planning would be worthwhile. We wholeheartedly agree with Einstein and have a strong belief in the need to conduct Needs Analyses prior to implementation of any solution. This is a key part of the process that takes care of your investment and gives you the quality results that you are seeking.
Many solutions are rapidly implemented before people really understand what they are trying to achieve and importantly why they are trying to achieve it. Without understanding your key challenges, current state and starting point, a clear rationale and purpose to any programme, how can we know whether we will be successful? Also, how can anyone justify the investment on a programme that has not got clearly defined outcomes? We would not be honouring our value of integrity if we did not take care of your investment.
Whether you are looking for solutions as an individual, as a team or for a whole organisation, our key focus is to support you to address your current challenges, your needs and priorities and to start working towards your desired future.
Any successful project must have clear outcomes and a clear plan. Therefore, once we have honed your greatest needs, and decided which elements of the Driving Success Suite are most pertinent for you to address, we will again assess your situation in relation to this topic. That is why every programme includes a thorough analysis of a) where you are now and b) where you wish to be. We will then focus the programme so that it directly addresses your challenges and creates the solution to our agreed outcomes.
Here is a bit more important information about our approach here at Investors in Learning…
Our purpose at Investors in Learning is to help you to discover and to realise your true potential as an individual, team or organisation and to support you to develop a Continuous Learning Culture, as this is fundamental to ensuring that we live the values, create the environment and the expectations that will lead to genuine and sustainable engagement. In order to fully understand ourselves and be able to identify our current state, we often do not know what questions to ask ourselves as we all live in our own skins and we only see the world through our own lenses. It is therefore difficult to be our own healthy, objective, constructive, well-intentioned critical friend. This applies when assessing ourselves, our teams or our organisation. Objective data will throw new light on your understanding and insights.That is why we have created our Learning Culture Needs Analysis tool with the explicit purpose to help you to assess your key challenges and to explore the questions which are focused around core elements that we know will help you to drive your success. The factors are drawn from research and practise in Occupational Psychology, studies of business success from around the globe, and represent some key elements that we all need to consider in order to create engagement, motivation and to drive a Continuous Learning Culture.
Psychology has taught us there are core human elements which we all have in common and that need to be met in order to need to be considered by all of us as humans for all of us so that we can be fulfilled. Every individual and organisation will deal with these factors differently and will be in a different place of learning and awareness both in terms of knowledge and the application of this in practise.
We carefully consider and design all programmes around four steps as outlined above.
Here they are again:
Step 1 – Your Current State – Needs Analysis - Where you have been and where you are now
Step 2 – Your Desired State - Your future desired vision, what that success will look like and your specific criteria for success
Step 3 – Planning for Learning and Change - Design of your unique Learning & Development Programme
Step 4 – Making it real and Sustaining the Learning - Ensuring long term success - Regular monitoring, learning & success criteria reviews and check – ins.
We will help you, through our carefully chosen tools to explore your desired future, outcomes and success criteria. We will then create the bridge between the two so that you can start building your desired future, with clear success criteria.
With that clarity we can start designing the content of the programme ensuring specific focus on your results from your needs analysis, desired future and success criteria. Our solution or programme is the bridge that gets you from your current state to your desired future state.
Once we are implementing any solution, we ensure that we monitor progress regularly at planned intervals. As we go on any journey, we learn to see the world in a new way, and crucially as we then reach some results, we may then decide that we would like to take a different path to the one we planned before starting the journey.
The essential need of monitoring impact and review as we are working towards your success criteria and desired future
Learning is dynamic and by its very nature creates change; as we learn one thing it will influence us to see things differently. So, we can plan, but as we are implementing the plan, we then may wish to decide on a different course of action.
Therefore, our approach includes monitoring and review. We will monitor and review the impact and progress any change programme is having at regular intervals and will often recommend you do the Needs Analysis a number of times so that we can collect clear data and see clearly the progress we are making.
We believe in the principles of good project management; any good project manager respects the learning and change during a project and embeds regular Plan – Do – Review cycles into the project to adjust tasks dynamically , mitigate risks and maximise success.
Nothing ever stands still. Learning is dynamic and therefore we need to harness the power and impact learning can have to see new things that we never saw before. This is why we include regular reviews to ensure that we are all still travelling in the right direction, as of course we may deliberately want to change course as we learn and discover new truths. A good navigator is aware of the need to review the terrain all the time and to ensure that we change course as we learn that certain obstacles or risks lie ahead.
We will be by your side throughout the programme and beyond; we will ensure you have tools and strategies specifically designed for your long term success

We ensure that we respect and carefully consider your specific history in designing your bespoke solution. When creating any tailored solutions we are mindful of the fact that we are all unique and that we firstly need to understand your current state. This then determines the starting point of unique learning journey.
