Who Is This Programme For?
If you’re responsible for resolving problems, preventing re-occurrence, and supporting the improvement of business performance then this programme can really help you to excel at what you do.
Improvement Technicians are responsible for the delivery and coaching of improvement activity within your organisation, through a keen understanding of compliance, project and change management and process mapping and analysis.
Our programmes are completely flexible in terms of delivery with minimum numbers of 1!
We can run this as an internal in-house training programme for a cohort or we can use our eco-delivery method all through virtual training and online coaching enabling us to run the programme on a personalised, individual basis.
What Will You Learn?
This programme is all about business and process improvement. You’ll learn approaches, techniques, and strategies to analyse processes and performance and how to improve them in the short, medium, and long term.
You’ll understand how to make the change happen and how to manage it effectively as well as how to break down problems and using data to make improvements.
The programme will cover all the essential knowledge, skills and behaviours that are required to make improvements within your organisation.
How Will You Learn?
This is a 14-month programme and with our flexible delivery model, the choice is yours on how you’d like to learn.
If you have several managers within your organisation that have the same needs then we can run this programme as a cohort with a mixture of face to face, virtual and/or blended sessions – we’ll work with you to determine the right mix. Conversely, we can run this as an individual programme.
Our eco-delivery model is a mixture of regular one-to-one virtual training and online coaching sessions removing the need for learners to leave the office or their home.
Delivery Options
In-house, customised delivery for a number of you from the same company. Choose from face to face, virtual and online delivery methods.
Monthly 2 hour virtual training and coaching sessions for individual learners. Flexible, remote learning that is personalised to your role.
