Six Essentials
for Business Success
in Good and Bad Times
Training Programs
Our focus is on "performance based" learning.
To accomplish this we use a variety of means to
deliver the training. In some situations, we might
suggest traditional classroom seminars. In this
case, we typically incorporate self-study text
materials to be completed prior to the seminar so
that the classroom time can be used most
efficiently. Often we include some kind of online or
computer assisted instruction as part of a
pre-course and post-course assignment.
If the skills being taught are analytic, we might
suggest using diagnostics and/or simulations to insure
that the learning closely targets skills that can be
transferred successfully to the work environment.
In other projects, the training is primarily
informational, or even behavioral (rather than technical).
For example, if you are
introducing of a new product or procedure,
the message might be focused around sales and
marketing objectives and the most effective training
might use interactive role playing exercises.
We always strive to make learning enjoyable for
students who may come with very different cultural
backgrounds or skill sets. This might mean using audio,
video, or animation to engage the student in programs
that are customized for your unique content and implementation
needs.
The following websites provide examples of
the kinds of training programs we have developed for
clients:
One of the
Hughes Associates more experienced partners is
Dr. Rex Beach. Rex is well known in the
financial services industry for his work in
developing software and training programs to
evaluate credit risk. Most recently, he has
been working with a number of clients to provide
online learning that allows bankers to
personalize their credit training
curriculum with diagnostics and modular courses that target
each student's specific learning needs.
In addition to
teaching bankers how to evaluate businesses,
we also teach businesses how to improve their
chances of getting approved for bank
financing. This subscription website allows
business owners to input their own business data and
discover how a banker is likely to respond to
their loan request. Subscribers get to see the kinds of reports that
bankers look at when evaluating how much
financing a business can service, and what
price they should charge, based on the risk
that is revealed. Members also gain
access to online workshops, newsletters,
articles and interviews with entrepreneurs
who talk about the "Six Essentials for
Business Success".
