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:

  • Leadership Development

  • Developing High Performance Teams

  • Change Mastery

  • Organisation and Team Culturation

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:

  • Structured to link the experience with the organisation's context.

  • Anchored in a sound conceptual model that simulates a team development, leadership development, vision building, change management.

  • Degree of difficulty in the activities is intentional so as to surface existing gaps in group's operating behaviours vis-à-vis desired behaviour.

  • Emphasis on the group's management of the interaction process and the associated learning which is related to real issues and problems currently faced by group or organisation.

And not:

  • Just games and fun

  • 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)

  • Psychometric instruments

  • And many others…………

     

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:
  • Communication plan
  • Continuous Improvement plan
  • Change Management plan
  • Personal Improvement plan
  • And many others…………

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.
