how can we help you?

Our leadership development programs are customised to you or your enterprise’s specific workplace needs. They are practical, allow you time to apply your new ideas and skills and are designed to:

• stimulate improvement and
• embed changes in your workplace
  

we have used leadership training to:

• Prepare those next in line through succession planning
• Capture critical know-how through workplace systems so it is not lost through churn
• Break down silo thinking
• Develop awareness of personal strengths (and weaknesses)
• Grow potential
• Increase staff participation in continuous improvement
• Improve workplace relationships
• Manage priorities

nationally accredited courses

in-house programs

All in-house programs can be customised to meet different workplace needs and priorities. WLI’s consultants will work with managers and course participants to design a program based on the interests of your organisation and the needs of your staff.

public programs

Our public programs only differ from our in-house programs by being held on our premises and include people from different workplaces. Public courses still have the flexibility to meet the needs of individuals (and their workplaces) through the flexible design of course content and the practical workplace improvement projects that participants will undertake during the program.

general information

Both in-house and public programs can be designed and facilitated to include any mix of face-to-face delivery, on-the-job training and e-learning.

What can our management and leadership courses cover?

A key aspect of our programs are the practical workplace improvement projects that are designed to provide participants with an opportunity to practice what they learn in the program’s workshops. These projects typically involve staff at different levels of the organisation and deliver real improvements to the workplace.

At WLI we don’t just settle on the simple transfer of knowledge. Knowing something is not that same as being able to do it. Our innovative training programs are customised to each enterprise’s or participant’s specific workplace where your workplace becomes a second classroom. Participants learn how to understand the processes they are involved in and the importance of the standardisation of practice.

But! Continual improvement means continual change and once our program participants have a strong enough understanding of what they do and why they do it they quickly move into improvement mode. In close consultation with their management the program participants, under the watchful eye of the WLI facilitator and the full support of management, they start to plan then implement productivity improvements.
