 THE LABORATORY:

The Laboratory is where ideas are turned into reality; training is demystified and explored through a whole new perspective. At The Laboratory, we turn the impossible into possibility. We go beyond theory into practical. Our training goes beyond the classroom, it is hands-on. 

In the laboratory, the participants, or learners as we fondly call them, are empowered to explore ideas, apply them, and make connections to their everyday work and life.

At the laboratory, we employ the 40:60 approach wherein our faculty facilitates the training and not lectures in the training.

Our philosophy at The Laboratory is to Create, Connect, and Innovate (CCI).

Create: The participants create their own learning as the facilitator guides them.

Connect: During the training, the participants can connect what they are learning with their job roles and responsibilities in their organization as well as in their personal lives.

Innovate: The participants are empowered to innovate concerning their various job functions/roles thereby increasing the productivity of your organization.

We deliver training in the following areas:

  1. Leadership and Management
  2. Human Resource Management
  3. People Development: Under people development, we train in the following areas.

  • Emotional Intelligence

  • Personal Effectiveness

  • Communication

  • Team building and

  • Service Excellence

Pro Tip: In your discussions with department heads, shift the conversation from “What skills do we need” to “How will this training improve the business?” This shift will not only improve training design but also provide measurable metrics to track its success. Example: If the operations team requests training on improving efficiency, ask deeper questions about how operational inefficien...

Before we move on, let us take a deeper look at how to solidify this foundation.
