Learning Lab Series in Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle upon Tyne is metropolitan city located along Northumbria's coastline in the north of England. Newcastle is a city which is full of energy, any corporate event or teambuilding is sure to come to life.

We have taken current "hot topics" and developed a series of "Learning Laboratories" around these.

Our Learning Labs is a series of team development programmes that provide both practical and applied learning in areas currently rated as "High Priority" for organisations, no matter what sector they are in.  Each Learning Lab is a participative and involving half day (4 hours) to full day development workshop that combines the latest thinking with opportunities for your people to experiment with new skills and behaviours. 

What sets these dynamic interventions apart from traditional classroom-based events is the incorporation of specially designed participative activities and simulations that harness the power of experiential learning techniques to support management development and improve organisational performance.

• Would you like your people to provide inspirational leadership, create high performing teams and drive through change?
• How often do you send staff on expensive training courses, only to find that there is little difference in their performance or motivation?
• Do you get frustrated by the gap between management theory, motivational seminars and the practical application of ideas in the workplace?

If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, we compel you to read on ... 

How we do it

Learning Labs are designed to be delivered as standalone interventions or as a series of two or more over a number of weeks.  Deploying a series of Learning Labs allows for interim course work and a higher degree of control over outcomes and results. Labs include:

• The leading edge
• Navigating change through team work
• Innovating for success
• Creating effective teams

• Creating a coaching culture

A bespoke approach

Whilst the Learning Lab Series presents a number of hot topics, each Learning Lab takes a bespoke approach.  We will spend time consulting with you and then agree a programme which will realise your required outcomes.  The programme scope, format and content will be adjusted to support this and the profile of your group.  Learn more...
