Customised Training
Aidias Consulting Group firmly believes that effectiveness and efficiency of any individual needs to be constantly monitored and enhanced for organisations to remain competitive in their respective marketplaces. Investment in training for enhancing life skills, functional skills, managerial abilities and leadership qualities are the hallmark of globally successful organisations. However, training cannot be a ‘tick mark’ function in any HR or L & D department whose KRA is often linked to the number of training programmes conducted instead of measuring the impact of training.
Aidias Consulting Group takes pride in the impact that it has created on business results in innumerable organisations. The governing philosophies towards training within Aidias Consulting Group are responsible for this high degree of success. These governing principles are:
- Training must impact business results which can be measured
- Lectures, workshops and trainings serve different purposes
- One-off training is a waste of efforts and money
- Training need assessment is must for curating customised content
- Adult learning principles must be adhered with to enable learning
- Aidias believes in facilitators of learning instead of ‘trainers’
- ‘Trainer independent’ content minimizes difference between trainers
- Multiple trainers needed to train at different locations need special training
- The onus to change lies with the person undergoing the training
- The demand to change is the responsibility of the supervisor
- Post training monitoring and mentoring is key to drive change
T-O-R-C-H™ is the patented process by ACG to ensure that trainees are observed post-training by their supervisors who demand the changed behaviour based on the training inputs provided during the training.
T-O-R-C-H™ is also purchased by client organisations on a SAAS model to monitor the training delivered by the internal teams of such organisations.
The three levers around which the training programs are designed are ASK (Attitude-Skills-Knowledge) of the Centre Managers. The program design addresses all these three levers.
The training methodology deployed by Aidias Consulting Group is suited and customised for the person(s) undergoing the training intervention. Broadly there are the following classification of different training which are designed and imparted by Aidias Consulting Group:
- Executive Coaching– This is mostly for CXO level people which include the ‘next’ generation in family run businesses.
- Group Mentoring– B2B sales teams undergo group mentoring where participants with similar challenges are mentored as a group for applying learnings at workplace. This mentoring is also done remotely using video technology.
- Distributed Training for large number of participants in multiple locations- Several large organisations have such requirements who have employees spread across the country. Aidias Consulting Group has identified competent trainers in all states so that the travel cost and time of the trainer to the training location is optimised. More importantly, the inter-trainer variation in training delivery is minimised through innovative techniques deployed for ‘Training the Trainers’ and content creation.
- Outbound Training– Several organisations engage Aidias Consulting Group for team building; reducing fear of failure; developing leadership qualities and developing out of the box thinking.
- Train the Trainer– This is a unique programme designed by Aidias Consulting Group. While the direct beneficiary of this programme are trainers and faculty members (especially in education sector clients); Aidias Consulting Group has used this programme to improve the training ability of managers. This has produced dramatic results and enhanced team motivation and on-the-job skill development of team members.
