Taking Ownership

In the famous children’s story, The Wizard of Oz, the Yellow Brick Road was a path towards change for the story’s characters. As in any “road” story, to reach their destination and to get what they were traveling for, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman, and the Cowardly Lion had to approach their problems and challenges in a different way. To reach their destination, achieve their goal, and accomplish the desired result, each of them had to think and act in ways that were different from those that had been familiar and comfortable. While initially, all of them believed that the problem was “out there” – they eventually realised that by learning new ways of thinking and acting – by taking accountability – they got the results that they were seeking all along.

The Oz Principle: Getting Results Through Individual and Organizational Accountability by Roger Connors, Tom Smith, and Craig Hickman is a book that uses the story of The Wizard of Oz as a metaphor for accountability.

Every single workshop (except the asynchronous self-paced modules) is customized to the precise customer need and brief. Our client advisory team will work closely with you to understand your context and pass it on to the execution team.

We are glad you asked that question. Every learning intervention starts with "Why?" and "What is the difference you want to see at the workplace because your learner attended this session?" Once we are clear, our learning designers put together a thoughtfully curated learning journey that could be a mix of different methodologies chosen to suit your learning environment. Besides this, to aid learning, we can (optionally) buttress it through:

• A pre-learning assignment for learners to know where they stand before the journey
• A post-learning assignment helps learners know where they stand after the journey. Assessing the gap in learning helps learners in bridging it.
• Pocket insights—a ready reckoner with the key concepts that can either be carried along or be pinned up as a ready reminder.
• Manager Essentials—tips (for the managers of the learners) to recognize behavioral changes and create an environment that encourages the learners to put what they have learned to practice.
• Post-learning application of learning at the workplace through a specific project.
• We try to capture the impact of every learning intervention through an impact report that is then shared with clients.

For each workshop, we can help you with three different teasers you can customize and share periodically with participants to build excitement and get traction.

You can download a program overview from each of the topic pages. Do note that while this will give you a broad structure of the workshop, our learning designers will still need to talk with you to customize the workshop to your context.
