Spaces for Learning
The world around us has changed significantly in recent years. Organisations want to invest in learning as much as ever but are increasingly more cost conscious. The training must be of a high standard and must deliver the desired results. With this in mind, every element should contribute to its success: design, delivery of course, but even the environment plays its part. Space is expensive, and it needs to pay its way.
I can help venue providers and the L&D community ensure that the environment makes a positive contribution to the training event, meeting learning objectives and as a satisfactory financial outlay.
Hired Event Space...
is a common option for organisations and L&D providers looking for an environment to host training events. But so many hospitality spaces cater for the meeting market in preference to the training market. Of course these spaces can work, but their emphasis is wrong: furnishings are often corporate and inflexible, there is limited if any attention to creativity and innovation, staff do not understand the less homogenous needs of the training community.
Venue providers, I can help your properties become the ones that trainers choose to go to.
Pop-up kits...
are perfect for those trainers that are on the move a lot. Maybe you regularly use hired space to deliver learning solutions but you cannot make permanent changes. A pop up kit can be as big or little as you want and comprise of elements to surprise your people and help them to quickly get into the ‘learning zone’.
are a rarity these days but if your organisation has dedicated space then you could be the envy of so many trainers, especially if done right.
Imagine classrooms that provide flexibility and creativity. Using inspiring colours, fun and functional furniture and modern technology to create environments where people want to learn. They can be designed to meet every budget, and can demonstrate real value to the organisation; space that earns its keep!
I can help you do this.
Collaborative & Individual learning spaces...
Temporary spaces...
with a sense of permanency about them. Marquees etc are great for hosting landmark training events or launching culture change programmes but you want pizzazz, impact and energy; so your people are talking about it months later. Using my experience I can help you achieve this result.
pods and kiosks are also great for coaching and blended learning. Using furnishings, zoning, branding and artwork that facilitates that impulsive desire to learn during the working day, with operations and infrastructure to ensure the learning continues without distraction. Let me help you create space that works.
