Why ‘3D’ Development?

You may be wondering what the ‘3D’ means. The 3 D’s stand for:

Diagnose
Conducting 360° research to clarify the change in knowledge, skills or behaviour required.
Design
Creating the highest impact training or development solutions for the issues and opportunities we have uncovered during the diagnosis stage.
Deliver
Implementing our agreed solutions to develop your people and affect the business change required as effectively as possible.

This outcome driven strategy, bespoke strategy delivers sustainable results every time which is why our business has thrived and grown continuously since its inception in 2003.

What is the 3D Difference?

I care

I really care about getting the results you want, which means I invest quality time in understanding your training needs and focus our input entirely on achieving your desired outcomes.

I conduct proper research

I conduct thorough research prior to working with any group to ensure we understand the issues and opportunities from all perspectives before attempting to address them.

Each solution is tailor made

I have no “off the shelf” packages as I believe passionately that tailoring each solution to the target population makes a dramatic difference to the impact we can have. This means all our training solutions have relevant case studies and organisational specific exercises which engage the delegates right away.

Results you can measure

I encourage you to build in robust measures of our shared success at the outset and I incorporate these into our design. This means that you can easily evaluate impact and identify future priorities for training.

Accelerated Learning Techniques

I use a variety of accelerated learning techniques which I tailor according to our audience and topic. This has been scientifically proven to increase retention rates to up to 75 percent meaning you get real return on every hour your delegates invest.

My Associates have been there and done that

I only work with Associates who have a breadth of corporate experience which ensures they can supplement our innovative materials with real life examples to enhance the learning experience.

Flexible solutions

I have both the expertise and the experience required to develop flexible training solutions which may involve large group seminars, smaller team workshops, one to one mentor support, executive coaching or a combination of any of these interventions.
