Introduction

We want ensure that we offer the highest quality program that will meet your needs and fulfill your desired outcomes. In order to achieve this we will need to look carefully at outcomes, terms and other parameters before we can suggest a suitable proposal and quote. Since clients have varied perceptions of what team building, training and development programs are, and have differing expectations in terms of facilitation, content, production and extravagance, it is important for us to ascertain each client’s individual needs.

There are many different ways people interpret our programs, and we get a variety of requests ranging from activities for pure enjoyment through to in-depth experiential based learning, exploration, seminars, keynote talks, facilitation and consultancy.

The table below may help you to chose the perfect combination of program for your group needs. (more details are in the appendix B).

Process and Evaluation Method options

The most successful programs are a combination of pre assessment, delivery, and follow up. Each of these can vary according to the client’s needs and budget.

1. Assess: Consult to identify needs and chose suitable face to face programs This can include as required: Discussions, meetings, phone calls, emails, Needs Analysis and/or even Psychometric Evaluation).
2. Deliver:  Present the program

Appendix B

Appendix B: Different level of programs available

Tirian has found that program participants need a memorable, engaging and motivating experience. The greater the impact, the more the experience stays at the front of their minds and can be applied back at work. Outcomes can be achieved by choosing the appropriate level of 1) method, 2) facilitation and 3) production. These areas can be divided into three levels, allowing organizers to make the most suitable choices and combinations.

Options and levels – choose your method, facilitation and production level for the perfect program.

The facilitation example below shows how the same activity can be used in different ways to achieve different purposes. Note that the facilitation methods used to introduce and reflect on the experiences (not the action events- activity) are the instruments of change. (Model adapted from Simon Priest, PhD)
1.  RECREATIONAL: Designed to change the way people feel (to entertain, re-energize, relax, re-create, socialize, teach and learn new skills, etc.); ratio of staff to participants low. Example: Tirian facilitators use an activity at a conference/program to make attendees happy and to get them mingling
2.  EDUCATIONAL: Intended to change the way people feel and think (to gain awareness of needs, to add knowledge of new concepts, to understand new ways to look at old or familiar concepts, etc.); ratio medium. Example: Tirian facilitators use an activity to demonstrate the value of teamwork and to introduce new team strategies.
3  DEVELOPMENTAL: Designed to change the way people feel, think, and behave (by increasing positive functional behaviour, by improving interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships, etc.) ratio high. Example: Once the benefit of teaming is evident; Tirian facilitators can use an activity to actually build new teams or even address dysfunctional behaviour.

We are able to offer a range of programs, all of which can be individually tailored. However, to keep it simple, we have packaged up the levels of Facilitation and Production into 3 main packages and can price a program with 3 options:
Tirian can provide three quote options ranging in price and outcomes, based on different combinations
(Note: there is approximately 20% price difference between Lite to Standard, and 30% difference between Standard to Executive/Hollywood programs). It can sometimes help to compare these levels to:  Economy, Business and First Class plane travel.
