We want you to have the best and most
suitable program possible. If you are having trouble choosing a company
for your program and are looking at comparing Tirian to other companies
please consider the following:
Are your facilitators experienced? All Tirian facilitators have a
wealth of corporate experience and or an educational /academic
background. Our facilitators are hand picked and bring with them their
own experience and are trained by Tirian. We are only prepared to grow
as a company at the rate at which we can find good facilitators.
Do you really understand the term
Experiential Learning? Although cheaper in terms of paid out money,
we believe that games for the sake of it (often perceived as childish)
are not a good use of a companies resources and participants' time.
Experiential learning is a skill both in design and delivery that
engages every participant and helps them internalize their learning so
they can act on it.
Can the learning's be applied back at
the workplace?
Programs and sessions must be designed to be relevant and internalized
in a way that the learning's can be used in the workplace.
Do you intrinsically understand the
value of the learning experience?
At Tirian we design all our own programs. By designing our own programs
we understand the content and how it applies to the workplace.
Do you understand the local culture?
Tirian facilitators have worked in over 20 courtiers to more than 30
different nationalities. We understand both 'East' and 'West' cultures
and area able to use examples from the local cultures we are working in.
In a mixed team (example Asia Pacific) of multi speaking participants
where English may be a second language our facilitators can work with
small countries groups to help them understand the content. Our
facilitators are fluent in English, Chinese, Bahasa and Greek.
Can you engage the cynic and motivate
all participants with stimulating content and engaging methods?
Its easy to convince and motivate the 'convert' but in most cases what
holds back a team are the cynics. These are the hardest but most
important people to motivate in a session. A poor facilitator may not be
able to reach this type of person and polarize the team in the process.
To what degree does your pricing
reflect your program content?
Tirian does not do mass programs. We hand pick a limited number of
clients each month that we will work with to ensure that each client
gets personalized and exceptional service. Tirian is large enough to be
able to offer a international standard program but we keep our overheads
as low as possible to ensure we hand on the value to the client.
Have you been established long enough
to be able to deliver what you promise?
Tirian has been established in Australia since 1990 and in Asia since
1997. We now have teams/representation in most major hubs in the region.
We like to work in teams when presenting ensuring that the team dynamic
we have will be able to reach all participants, and should illness
occur, our team is well positioned to continue to cover the event.
Why are programs with the Directors (Andrew and Gaia Grant) more
expensive that other companies who offer their directors? Andrew and
Gaia Grant are know internationally for their creative ideas and quality
of their unique programs. They are in high demand round the world as
keynote speakers and facilitators as well as consulting about education
to other companies. They have written several books on education and
have been interviewed in the media including the Asian Wall Street
Journal, BBC, ABC-TV and the Australian Financial Review. They spend
much of their time now writing and designing new programs.
What is your core business?
Tirian's core business is to develop leaders and their teams which we do
through experiential learning, business simulations, seminars and
keynote talks. This is all we do and we do it well. We are not an
agency, event organizer, consultancy firm or entertainment company.
