Specialty Programs

While our main focus at Communication Consulting is on unique, highly customized training solutions; we also offer a range of highly interactive, informative and fun business simulations, workshops and other programs. These programs can make excellent additions to a larger course, or work extremely well as a short, standalone workshop.
Specialty Courses
Train the Trainer:
 
Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein were brilliant. Despite this they were also considered by their students to be the worse teachers on campus. What this illustrates is that having knowledge does not necessarily mean that we have the ability to share that knowledge with others. In train the trainer we demonstrate to prospective facilitators how learners learn and how knowledge is successfully transferred from one person to another. Don’t gamble on your internal training. Make sure that all your trainers are armed with the skills to get your people to really learn what they need to know so that you can optimize your business. Contact us to learn more.
HR for non HR managers
 
Are your managers under the impression that staff recruitment, development and motivation is the task of HR? Do you think that your managers need to be more involved in people management issues which truly is one of their most crucial responsibilities? Ensuring that HR and line managers work in partnership where people issues are aligned with business issues is a necessity to succeed in a world where there’s a war for talent and the competencies and motivation of your people are the most essential ingredients to build your competitive edge.

Finance for non-Financial Managers:
 
Do you feel that too many of your managers lack a common sense comprehension of the financial aspect of the business? Are too many managers unaware of what truly makes your business profitable and how to contribute to your bottom line? Making both managerial and non-managerial staff willing and able to improve the profit margins of your business is easier than you think. We customize our finance programs based on your company’s KPIs and make finance more fun, interactive and engaging to learn by using a simulation like Apples & Oranges (for non-managerial staff) or Decision-Base (for managerial staff).

Medici Effect: Creating Conditions for Breakthrough Innovation
 
The Medici effect is good to incorporate into training related to Innovation and Change Management. What do goat’s milk, spiders, and fishing line have in common? Music records and airlines? Ant behavior and telecommunications routing? Most of us would assume nothing. But out of each of these seemingly random combinations have come radical innovations that have created whole new fields.
Based on the bestselling book “The Medici Effect” by Frans Johansson, the Medici Game takes participants take on a fascinating journey to the Intersection – a place where ideas from different fields and cultures meet and collide, ultimately igniting an explosion of extraordinary new innovations.
