How does PPC Worldwide design training?

From an organisational perspective:
PPC Worldwide's training is based on our extensive experience and long-term relationships with many organisations. We have gained expertise in training by providing a comprehensive range of organisational solutions including Employee Assistance Programs, Psychological and Consulting Services. When we deliver a training program for your organisation, we provide an effective blend of training services designed to suit the specific developmental needs of your organisation and your staff.

From an individual / participant perspective:
Our methods are designed to increase participation in and the long-lasting effects of training. To generate and maintain an individual's commitment we encourage the involvement of participants in the tailoring of training programs for their specific needs and interests.

What if training isn't enough?

A training program is not always the answer to an organisation's needs. That's why we employ skilled consultants whose industry experience can help them identify the right solution for the specific workplace. Sometimes consultancy is the precursor to a training program, but often it leads us to recommend other approaches, such as mediation, coaching or performance management.

Consulting Services

What is the value of PPC Worldwide's Consulting Services for your organisation? Our consultants have two outstanding qualities that an organisation needs: they have objectivity, and business expertise.

Many of our clients have identified the major issues affecting their productivity and performance using our skilled consultants. We can highlight stumbling blocks to efficiency and identify innovative ways to capitalise on new opportunities. When hard decisions need to be made our consultants, who are independent arbiters, get tangible results for your organisation.

How does consulting work?

Our initial approach is to listen thoroughly, to ask questions, then to make an assessment of the critical issues followed by recommendations. Our consultants are focused on your business objective. They understand the complex interaction between organisational values and business priorities. A critical part of our consulting strategy is to follow up changes that are implemented and ensure outcomes have achieved their desired objectives.

Why do you need PPC Worldwide to expedite change?

Change in organisations can sometimes go smoothly, at other times major problems arise. Problems such as:

• The self-interests of the people delegated to implement the changes
• A lack of skills in leadership change management, or
• The goals of the change are not accepted by staff.

Through experience we know that consulting works best when we form partnerships with our clients on a medium to long-term basis. In this way we are able to take a holistic and strategic view of your organisation and work with key personnel to achieve agreed objectives.

The measure of our success is in the tangible results we achieve for your organisation.
