Integrated Training
F.L.O.W. (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 application 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.
