About
Clients have been applying Bob Pike's Participant-Centered Instructional System to
build their learning organizations, to strengthen retention and to enrich
desired results for over 30 years.
The key focus in our
participant-centered training approach is to assist participants in developing
their own answers, applying tools and techniques, using reference materials, and
tapping their own resources (as well as those of their colleagues) to reach
solutions that work in the training session as well as on the job. By using the
structure of small groups and interactive training sessions, participants are
given experiences that make it possible for them to apply the content back on
the job, when the trainer isn't readily available to solve every problem or
answer every question.
In our
participant-centered training workshops, we provide a supportive environment for
participant exploration, struggle, and discovery, so the insights they gain will
truly be theirs, as well as the self-confidence that comes from those
discoveries.
This is what's at the
core of participant-centered training. The key results of this training approach
are:
