Experiential Learning + Business Results

Did you learn to drive a car from some guy standing at a podium?

Did you learn how to tie your shoes from a PowerPoint Presentation?

Did you learn to ride a bike from some worksheets in a big, dusty three-ring binder?

Well, neither did we. Experiential Learning simply means: Learning by doing. All Operation Explore team building sessions are based on that simple concept.  Do you want to improve your team’s communication skills? Well then, let’s give them an opportunity to actually do it in a situation that feels like work (but more fun), without any risk of wasting funds or alienating customers. Does your department need to run more effective meetings? Then let’s set up and practice a fast-moving, Real-Time session, and solve some actual business problems. Do your leaders need to improve their skills? Let’s have them lead a simulated manufacturing plant complete with deadlines, equipment malfunctions and production quotas.

Now here is where the Business Results come in: Your people will leave an OE session with a concrete understanding of where, when, how and with whom to apply learned skills - in the real world - where your business results happen.

 

three_tiered_methodology.001.pngAt OE we’ve enhanced the performance of organizations around the globe since 1992. Our methods work because we customize them around your obstacles, your pinnacles and your people. From esprit de corps to culture change, we offer solutions and get results through our proven three-tiered formula:

Tier One: Assessment – we use a variety of tools to expose challenges and reveal potential. This includes: Individual, Team & Organizational Assessments.

Tier Two: Focused Learning – the assessment helps us boil the learning process down to precise modules. Our group problem-solving model, for instance, moves teams from interacting as a collection of individuals to working as a high performance team. Then we shake everything up in a learning lab geared to an issue like change. How your employees interact helps us pinpoint what needs improvement. Knowledge becomes your power tool.

Tier Three: Accelerated Learning Labs – here is where we enroll the participants, teams and organizations into the process by allowing them to live it. We use action to create a microcosm of the behaviors and bring it to life through action. We have the most skilled consultants in the industry who are incredibly talented at drilling down on the real challenges and getting the people charging in the same direction with the tools for success.

Developing organizations one interaction at a time. How is this possible? With a little patience, close observations, careful listening, add in some passion, experience and a strong drive and it is not only possible, but it is probable. We ask 5 Simple questions to reach this probability with all of our clients:

1.    Have we done what the client wanted… better?
2.    Did we provide useful tools?
3.    Did we use novel and/or cool techniques?
4.    Was the look, feel and content of the program high quality?
5.    Was the program interactive and engaging?
