This is business-critical stuff. Set out your strategy, strengthen your team, define your culture and plot your course for the future.
When your leaders believe in themselves, your teams pull together and you know where you’re heading, incredible things can happen. The right training provider can help make all of this a reality. Weald Learning has helped leaders and managers at some of the UK’s fastest-growing businesses. Here are some of the ways we can help you.
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is a hands-on training process that helps people work together more effectively. Breaking down barriers, exploring new ideas and boosting business performance. Making your team faster, better, stronger.
In the right hands (Weald Learning’s of course), LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® builds confidence, develops problem solving skills and turns individual players into high-performing teams. It’s a lot of fun, but it’s seriously good for business.
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® works brilliantly for all sorts of training:
Strategy Development
Just when you thought you’d cracked this business thing, the world turns and everything changes.
How do you keep up without burning out? One word – strategy. And LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is unbeatable when it comes to strategy development.
You’ll turn strategic ifs, buts and why nots into 3D models. Exploring every foreseeable strategic angle and a few that no one would have bargained for. You’ll deconstruct your business challenges, look at where you are now, where you’re heading and work out how to get to where you really want to go. It’s interactive, creative and incredibly powerful.
Scenario Planning
No one knows exactly what tomorrow will bring, but it pays to be ready all the same.
Scenario Planning involves a similar approach to Strategy Development. But this is more about predicting what the future might throw up and how you’d deal with it.
It’d be great to operate in a world of absolutes. Black or white; yes or no; left or right. But business is often grey, maybe and somewhere in the middle. Scenario Planning will help you forecast what’s around the next corner. It will also tool you up to tackle it head on.
Team Building
When people work together properly, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. And that’s what makes the magic happen.
After years of working with businesses of all shapes and sizes, we believe there’s no better team building tool than LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. It turns dysfunctional groups into high performing teams and high performing teams into even more cohesive units.
Under our expert facilitation, your team will dive deep into their strengths and weaknesses. They’ll look at different approaches to previous business challenges and figure out how to take on whatever the future brings. As one united force.
Innovation
Innovative thinking is what separates the exceptional from the mediocre.
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® has been dubbed a ‘hands-on, minds-on’ approach to business training. And that’s why it’s perfect for developing new innovations. Inclusive. Non-hierarchical. Inspiring. It brings out the absolute best in all participants. Allowing them to share abstract concepts and turn them into outstanding business ideas.
You already have the talent in your team; we know how to bring it out. Local governments, NGOs, Multinationals, Tech start-ups, Non-profits… any kind or size of organisation will benefit.
Value Proposition Design
Who’s your ideal customer? What keeps them awake at night? How can you make their problems disappear? Value Proposition Design workshops ask difficult questions and deliver simple, but profound answers.
You’ll look at what makes your customers tick. The real-world problems they face. The deeper psychological issues that impact their buying decisions.
Value Proposition Design will help you visualise the products and services that your customer’s really need. And it will put your business smack bang in the middle of their sights.
Leadership development
Great businesses need great leaders. But it’s tough at the top. Especially when everyone’s looking at you, asking “what now?”
Individual leaders need a ton of self-belief. Even more critical, leadership teams need to have unshakable belief in each other. Supporting team decisions and pulling in the same direction.
Delivered with, or without LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, our Leadership Development programmes work business miracles. Your people will walk away fired-up and working as one well-oiled machine. Bursting with ideas and strategies that will transform the way they lead your organisation.
Interactive workshops to help your business fly.
Pragmatic, outcome-focused and tailored to your particular needs. Your workshop will be designed to fire-up your people and kit them out with skills they can use every day. The exact shape and length of programme will depend on your circumstances, but whatever we deliver, you can expect fireworks.
“Weald helped us enormously last year, at a pivotal time in our business. They designed a workshop for our leadership team to support us in making some business critical decisions. The speed and effectiveness of our actions since, owe much to that workshop. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”
