Our approach to learning and development

Building impactful learning journeys the Tack TMI way. As you seek to address your business challenge through learning and development, it’s important that your needs and those of your learners are put first. From one-off training interventions to Global Academies or Business Transformation Programmes, we offer complete flexibility – both in terms of learning content, design and delivery modality.

Our proven, research-based content, offers ready-made learning that can be easily deployed and quickly scaled across the Globe. If you’re seeking something unique, we have an unparalleled understanding of what makes learning and behaviour change stick. We can design and deliver fully bespoke learning, built around your organisation’s values or specific competencies, as an extension of your in-house Learning Team.

Consultative Approach

Understanding your business is critical to our approach and enables us to be an effective learning partner. We do that through our 5 “I”s Consulting Process:

INVESTIGATION: exploring your purpose, discovering your business reality and understanding your aspirations.
IDENTIFICATION: getting specific about your desired state, including the hard metrics, scope and strategy to deliver it.
IMPLEMENTATION: establishing the teams, systems and language for getting things done.
INTEGRATION: ensuring momentum of any learning intervention by exploring how learning can be readily applied into the day-to-day thereby ensuring ongoing sustainability.
INSPIRATION: our north star in ensuring that we ignite interest in learners and project teams alike, engaging hearts and minds maximising potential.

Learning Design

We believe in the individual. Our engaging, learner-centred programmes reflect just that. Using the latest in blended learning design and technology we make learning and behaviour transformation stick.

Our approach to learning design ensures every solution is orientated around your learners’ needs. In practice, (informed by Malcolm Knowles’ four principles of adult learning) this means:

We involve learners in the planning and evaluation of their own learning
We provide a safe environment where mistakes can be made within experiential learning activities
Relevant learnings are applied with immediate impact and value in either a professional or personal context
Learning experiences are problem-centred rather than content-driven

The Making Learning Stick (MLS) is the framework from which we build every Blended Learning Journey. Our MLS framework is sustainable, learner-centric and positively impacts business performance by being:

Relevant – both in terms of content and application
Flexible – in time and format
Goal-orientated
Measurable- in terms of business impact

Context

Understanding your business context, extrapolating the desired behavioural shifts and uncovering any barriers to change.

Motivation

Creating a personal connection with and answering the question “what’s in it for me?” Without continuous learner motivation, commitment to investing time and energy.

Learn & Try

Provide flexibility in time and format, including learning that is Self-Paced, Instructor-Led or Peer-To-Peer. The focus is on practice, application and active participation – using digital learning as a primer.

Perform

Bridge the knowing-doing gap. Build sustainability through reinforcement and practice. We support learners and their leaders to implement new habits, overcoming barriers and performing at their best.

Learning Delivery

Recognising that not all Learning & Development requirements are the same, we can build a programme together with you, with flexibility at its core. We regularly adapt our learning delivery methods based on the latest learning trends and technologies.

In-Person Training

Through years of growth and change, Tack TMI has never lost sight of the values and vision of our founders – it’s about YOU, not us. The concept of ‘YOU Appeal®’ is a way of life at Tack TMI. Changing people’s behaviours, attitudes, and mindset can often be challenging. That’s why most training organisations tend to focus on models, theories and processes. Instead, at Tack TMI we get to the heart of the matter whilst respecting that people are all different and have different learning needs. Our training begins and ends with the individual. We use parodies, stories and demonstrations to highlight the inherent emotion of situations. Humour is our trademark and it can make the difference to the way people choose to live their lives at home and at work.

Train the Trainer

Where you have the talent development resources in house, we will train your trainers and can license our content. It’s cost-effective and can often be a great way to invest in people and grow internal talent. You can license content from a catalogue of hundreds of Tack TMI courses, thereby eliminating the need for in-house design. In-house learning teams can save time and effort, focusing their efforts on delivering to learners.

Experiential

There’s no better way to learn, than to learn by doing. According to research, and the feedback we receive, this is best achieved by incorporating an appropriate experiential training activity or hands-on experience. Through metaphors linked to your business, learners can (for instance), explore individual & team dynamics, strengthen team spirit, apply leadership behaviours or put management practices to work. A typical learning experience can involve hands-on practice, sport, play, art, or connection with the community – and embed learning lessons for a lifetime.

Digital

Digital learning comes in all shapes and sizes. You may be seeking new way to deliver learning at scale, or means to connect with learners on the move, through their device of choice. Not only can we offer a growing library of off-the-shelf content, we have expertise of creating bespoke assets for our clients, at a fraction of the cost of a Digital Agency. Find out about our instructor-led and learner-led solutions in our specific Digital Solutions section.

Professional Coaching

Whether you’re taking on a new role, looking to effectively engage others, or seeking to be more fulfilled in your professional career, our coaching programmes encourage fresh thinking and break down any barriers preventing you from realising your true potential. Knowing your potential is important – unlocking that potential is essential.

Assessments

Curious to understand the best development path for your team? Interested to receive a complete picture of your leadership effectiveness from direct reports, peers and your line manager? Deciding on whether a high potential is ready for their next move? We work with both external Partners and design custom-built proprietary assessments, to measure and assess talent. They range from simple self-assessments to complex 360 assessments, deployed organisation-wide.
