The Process

All of our sessions are totally interactive. At MacFarlane (Leadership) Ltd we recognise that people do not learn by sitting, listening and taking notes alone. We ensure that the delegates participate in the learning process – they will be expected to interject, participate in activities and use the sessions to learn from each other, not just from the trainer.

Our approach to “doing it” is through staged development, based on our own RD3 mechanism:

Research, Development, Design and Delivery

Research:

There is no substitute to excellent preparation. We initially spend time with you researching your current processes, gain an understanding of your knowledge and gather information on your leadership competencies, key competencies and other performance management procedures.

Back at base, we spend time researching other commonly used competency matrices and systems, as well as performance systems.


Development:

From our research we then develop a positive and interactive process with which to design the programme detail. The development also includes: agreeing module outcomes and objectives, as well as agreeing the management process and reporting mechanisms in detail.

These will lead to developing bespoke document procedures as required by the client and the project.


Design:

On completion of the process development, we will design the individual module contents. These will be specifically targeted at delivering the outcomes and objectives agreed in the preceding stage.

In addition to designing the content, we will also work with you to design an appropriate format and image, which brands the product, as your process in conjunction with MacFarlane Ltd.


Delivery:

The fourth stage in RD3 is delivery; this is not the actual delivery of the product to your delegates, but the planning of how the delivery is going to be undertaken.

This key stage looks at group dynamics, location of the event, group numbers and how best to deliver the content. It also includes the presentation of information i.e. workbook, handouts, PowerPoint etc.

This fourth stage is critical as many programmes get great content but fail to present it the right way.
