Red Sky Learning : About Us

What makes us different from other training providers?

All interventions are bespoke to your business, taking into account your language, jargon and culture.
Programmes are designed to achieve business outcomes. This means we design interventions and materials which impact on how people behave and the results they achieve
The delivery of all programmes, workshops and coaching sessions is very learner centred, responding and adapting to the needs of the participants during the event
We specialise in the development of leaders at all levels
We will spend time in your business, working alongside your teams before designing programmes, ensuring we really understand your needs and challenges
We measure everything we do, both quantitatively and qualitatively and most importantly, your Return on Investment

How will you measure Return on Investment?

The Return on Investment will be clearly measured through behavioural changes and leadership effectiveness and also through profits added back into the business by programme participants. At the beginning of the programme set up we will work closely with you to agree the outcomes and financial and behavioural measures you want to see on completion. On average, programmes pay for themselves six fold in the first year alone.

What Leadership Model do you use?

The leadership development programmes develop skills in three consecutive areas:

An individual's leadership style and capability
The ability to lead others
The skill and talent to lead your business

It is key that these skills are gained in the above order so that their impact on the business is maximised.

Our model uses blended learning including workshops, coaching, masterclasses, shadowing and external guest speaker sessions.

How do you actually transfer the learning to the workplace and embed the learning as new ways of working?

Redsky work to build lasting relationships with clients and prefer to be involved in long term development programmes which are specifically designed to meet clearly defined needs. We take time to understand our clients' profile and culture so that the programmes we design for them are uniquely tailored to deliver relevant learning. We use language and materials that fit the clients' culture, are understood and can quickly be applied in practice to ensure improved performance.

In addition, the solutions we deliver involve working with you over a period of time, between 6 - 12 months. This enable us to support your teams on an ongoing basis through workshops and coaching until they have embedded new ways of working. At the start of any programme, as well as inducting the programme participants, we brief and involve their line managers so that they understand their role to support and encourage their teams to apply their new skills, knowledge and attitude. 'Real time' coaching by our consultants also enables us to observe the extent to which new skills are applied to 'live' problems in the workplace and allow us to give further individual support or challenge where required.

How do you evaluate Leadership and Management Development Programmes and Executive Coaching?

Level 1: Reaction, satisfaction and planned action
Measures the extent to which the participants enjoyed the learning experience and establishes how they plan to apply their learning. This is measured through completion of individual action plans and objective driven feedback forms.
Level 2: Learning
Measures the extent to which participants have increased their knowledge and improved their skill levels gauged through individual and line manager feedback.
Level 3: Application and Implementation
Measures the extent to which the participants have applied to their working practice what they learned from the learning. Each participant has to identify 6 objectives, agreed with their line manager, prior to commencing the programme. These include two leadership style, two team impact and 2 KPI (e.g. financial gain) objectives
Level 4: Business Impact
Measures the results that the participants have achieved by applying what they have learned from the programme. This would include measures such as output, quality, cost, time, customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction etc. Quality, cost and time measures are collated on an individual basis but also through a team project which measures profit or savings added back into the business.
