F.L.O.W.TM
(Facilitating Learning
through the Outdoor World)
F.L.O.W.
is a creative, engaging, fun and experiential-based
learning programme. The learning methodology in
F.L.O.W.
brings participants through a simulated experience that
enables a depth of learning at the Knowledge,
Skills
and Attitudinal level which most indoor and classroom
sessions may not achieve. F.L.O.W. which is a highly
specialised
knowhow developed by Training Vision, is used in workshops
focusing on:
Anchored
in a sound conceptual model that simulates team
development, leadership development, vision building,
change
management cycle, F.L.O.W. is an effective learning method
that integrates theory into practical applica-
tion
through a process of action learning and self discovery. The
F.L.O.W. framework foundation is based on the following
understanding:
Experiential Learning
is:
-
-
Just
tools to generate participation
-
Just
dependent on "the more the better" i.e. quantity of activities
and variety
OD
Approach
A strong organisational
development (OD) approach is used. Experiential training without an OD
perspective will simply be another feel good session. OD techniques and
tools are used during the workshop include:
-
Family
Group Meeting (intergroup feedback)
-
Wishing
Well Exercise (an exercise on feedback and self disclosure)
-
T-Group
(leaderless group)
-
-
Transfer
of Learning
Transfer
of learning is always a key element, yet sadly neglected in a training
initiative. Without transfer, most of all training efforts will be at
most neglected or at best marginalised. This is all the more true in an
experiential-based program. Post workshop audits and action plans are skilfully
designed to ensure the link between the experiences to the real-life work
context. Action plans can take the form of:
Self
Facilitated Follow-up
Research
into experiential training shows that follow-up is important to ensure that
learning is internalised and perpetuated even long after the initial intervention.
While follow-up by consultants or the Management is good, research affirms
that self facilitated follow-up by the team will even result in better transfer
of learning. Self-facilitation skills will be taught during a post workshop
session to enable the team to assume ownership of their own sustained learning.
