Why our training is different

Our courses are designed to maximise your learning outcomes. They are designed to enable participants to connect the learning to their own context, provide time to discuss and question using real-life stories, and to practise the concepts to demystify the theory. All of our courses heavily rely on case studies, group discussion, and practical scenarios-based exercises.

Our expert facilitators are able to spend more or less time on particular concepts as guided by participants so learning can be prioritised where it will be most valuable, and make sure that the core concepts are covered in the program.

Delivered virtually or in-person through back-of-the-room facilitation, we offer different training programs and courses that are engaging and interactive. Participants can sign-up for the publicly offered courses or private in-house sessions can be organised for groups within an organisation.

Join the movement and enhance your skills to deliver value sooner and safer with happier teams. Don’t wait to take action, start learning now!

“At The Smith Family we have been looking for ways to improve how we work with the aim to deliver more outcomes more quickly to the families and students we support. When the offer was made to me to take part in the BVSSH Patterns and Anti-Patterns course, I viewed it as a chance to be exposed to a new way of thinking about business transformation. The structure of the course, based upon anti-patterns and patterns struck a lot of chords and highlighted that we could improve our approach in many areas. The course materials, which includes the book Sooner Safer Happier by Jonathan Smart et al., are based on reusable templates which can be translated to your context and are easy to understand and apply. The training itself, which was delivered virtually with attendees on my course from Europe, S.E. Asia and Australasia, was clearly and expertly delivered by the facilitators.”
