Learning Principle
The High Impact Middle Manager learning approach of is based on the action-oriented learning model that emphases self-awareness, relevance to real-life issues and experience-based learning. To enhance participants’ capacity to make long-term, positive behavioural changes, they are challenged to understand the way they conceptualise, learn effective behaviours and unlearn ineffective behaviours.
Below is a graphical representation of the reflection process or Experiential Learning Cycle.
The HIMM Learning Principles are based on belief that learning should be learner driven, where the participants themselves are in charge of the learning process. The design of the HIMM sets the learning platform to guide the participants in effectively achieving their learning objectives.
|
Reality |
The design of learning processes addresses real needs and current challenges of both the participants and their organisation. This holistic approach enhances learning and the motivation to apply the learning on the job. |
|
Reflection |
Through a process of guided reflection, participants put actions, experiences and reactions into perspective, to gain an understanding the underlying premise and complexity of their leadership and management challenges. |
|
Challenges |
The programme challenges participants’ basic assumption and stretch their boundaries of thinking to achieve a higher standard of learning and behavioural changed |
|
Dialogue |
The participants and the facilitator collaborate as equal partners contributing to the learning process based on mutual respect. |
|
Action |
We apply the 70/20/10 learning principle: 70% of learning and development takes place in real-life and on-the-job experience, 20% is from on-going feedback, coaching, peer learning, and from working with role models, and 10% is about acquiring new theory and occurs in structured classroom based training. The development process require that participants take action prior to, during and after workshop interventions. |
|
Variation |
The learning format incorporates a varied and dynamic blend of instructional methods designed to challenge participants thinking and deepen their understanding of leading in the middle and to meet different learning styles and needs. The three phased learning approach, the preparation phase, the intervention phase and the follow-up phase, fully engages the participants for the highest impact. |
