Manager Hard Skills:
Our flagship program in this space. This 2 day program equips your managers with ‘hard skills’ from number crunching to reading data to finding patterns and makes them ‘business ready’.
The Consulting Kit:
Yes, there are many consulting skill trainers in the market – but we have the inside view on how to make consultants and this kit is intended to get you there. We train you in what goes into consulting skills – Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, Decision Making, Creative Thinking, Change Management, Storyboarding. We leave you with toolkits, cases and help you through the process. These can be run as individual modules depending on your need.
The Strategy Kit:
If you want to wade into strategic waters, this is for you. Upto 2 days of deep dive into the world of business strategy – and we promise you will come up looking for newer vistas to conquer.
All our programs are hands-on and you will work hard through the session. What we can promise you in our business sessions – is intellectual stimulation, not the usual Apple, Google gyan which everybody knows about. And we customize – to your business - with data - and not just changing the colour of the slides and rearranging them.
And we have just completed a year in this journey...

Neel
With a technical and HR background –and a solid experience across multiple sectors – Neel brings a pragmatic yet personal approach to designing learning experiences that deliver real impact to business. He has worked on innovation core teams driving and facilitating innovation. He has built and delivered learning games, simulations and out of the box learning experiences that make for great learning environments.
This is a difficult area to define, because while issues appear to be common, the methods are different and contextual. Delivery can range from Workshops to Sessions to Multi level engagements to Individual Coaching. One module here has met with significant success.
Building a Culture of Continuous Feedback: This 4 to 8 hour module, takes the team through role plays and tools to train them from the basics to the advanced feedback methods. And does it in a simplistic way. Also included are a few tools to make the feedback process easier. This is one module that has worked its magic at multiple clients. When we have followed this up with a ‘Feedback lab’ – it has resulted in even greater stickiness.
Apart from this, we are certified in a variety of tools – from DISC to LIFO to Hogan to Gallup Strength Finder to EUM to Lego Serious Play to Competency Mapping to Executive Coaching (ACC). We are also in partnership with a few subject matter experts in this space as well who we engage depending on your need.
Design Thinking is a tool that can be used in many ways. We have worked on creating Design Thinking sessions and content and TTTs for global innovation teams and continue to do so.
