Training Design

According to a recent Harvard Business School study, fully 92% of US companies currently develop or customize their own training sessions. If yours is a smaller company, or if you lack an in-house training department, Guila can help you design and implement world-class training.

“Design Your Own Workshops” is an umbrella term that covers both a customized, 1-3 day training session and individual consulting. Depending on your organization’s needs, “Design Your Own Workshops” enables people to:

  • Understand how adults learn and how to address diverse learning styles.
  • Design engaging, interactive training sessions of any length—on any subject.
  • Implement an in-depth Training Needs Assessment in the organization.
  • Develop evaluation strategies that actually tell you something.
