INTEGRAL ™ Extension Programs
Changing the way people THINK

Tirian’s ‘INTEGRAL’ ™ Extension programs encourage the practical implementation of new information and ideas, ensuring there is an effective ripple effect throughout the organization.

 

1. About the needs assessment and evaluation process

Statistics show that learning experiences need to be reinforced over the long term for maximum effectiveness. To assist with this Tirian is able to include custom made pre-assessment and follow up plans for all programs. Pre-assessment can include: interview meetings, one-on-on sessions, needs analysis questionnaires, articles for participants, customizing and designing of the teaching component of the program to suit the specific needs of the group. Follow up can include: goal setting and implementation, business facilitation, coaching, strategic implementation with customized implementation compass.

2. About the business facilitation process

Business Facilitation is designed to get people working through issues cooperatively and effectively. Meetings can move much faster and with less stress through the guidance of an external facilitator. With a professional Tirian facilitator constructive dialogue can replace debating, and individuals can be carefully guided through each stage of the process. Good facilitation ensures that outcomes of meetings are effectively achieved and the individuals involved maintain both ownership of the process and the outcomes. (Note: Tirian does not provide CONTENT for facilitated sessions, but can work with the client on additional days* to design content & or agenda.

3. General facilitation outcomes:

• Providing motivation and flow to a program
• Helping people get to know each other better, providing opportunities for positive interaction, and assisting with working across boundaries
• Reinforcing the team / group spirit and a sense of identity

Our facilitation can assist with:

• Tying a program together to ensure there is an effective flow towards the outcomes:
• introducing the program concepts
• linking the sessions through highlighting key themes and outcomes before and after presentations
• facilitating discussions related to presentations
• Advising on how to prepare the different learning settings to provide positive environments that could change as different needs evolve and to maximize interaction
• Preparing presenters for presentations to ensure they are clear and confident in what they need to present
• Helping design / adapt the presentation methods to ensure maximum impact and to ensure they are engaging
• Facilitating the general discussion processes to allow for full participation and to ensure the discussions remain focused and productive
• Keeping the group motivated and involved through spontaneously providing relevant exercises, games and input where appropriate
• Assisting with evaluating the success of the program

Facilitation can achieve the following:

• Provide a productive context for positive change
• Introduce important factors to consider in the context of the relevant issues
• Nurture discussions towards positive outcomes
• Assist with processing information and integrating concepts towards a constructive conclusion

About the coaching process

One-on-one individualized coaching develops individual skills in effective communication, presentation, leadership and self-management. This is a focused way to deal with personal and organizational issues. Coaching is a valuable tool for success. It is vital to have an independent unbiased person available to mentor you (confidentially) and assist you with the skills you need to get where you want to go.

Integral programs can be “stand alone”, “ongoing”, or “integrated” into a conference program. They can take place either before (pre assessment), during, or after (on the job follow up) a program.

4. About the A.C.T.I.O.N Planning process

Tirian’s A.C.T.I.O.N Planning process ensures key concepts explored are solidified and the ideas are transferred into practical action to ensure outcomes are reached. Through a simple analysis technique, individuals and teams are shown how to isolate important factors and how to move from their current state to the desired state, as well as how they can convert needs into action steps for follow up. The three-step process ensures that major issues are identified, goals are specified and action steps applied.
