Our approach
The Sustainable Development Compass (SDC) based on Action Learning
Our approach encourages change at both individual and organisational level by developing people and organisation in parallel using the SDC model. This model is based on Action Learning. With it, we accurately identify the challenges, facilitate the learning process at each level with practical cases from the participants and support practical application for sustainable impact. The SDC model transforms theoretical knowledge into concrete practical results, focusing on each participant’s unique challenges for measurable progress and lasting organisational growth. This model strengthens organisations and individuals in six steps.
The introspective phase
This is where all parties gain insight into their unique talents, competences, obstacles and motivations.
Our process strengthens organisations and individuals.
STEP 1
Requirements analysis
We work with the client to identify organisational challenges and requirements.
STEP 2
Action Learning Session
Together with the team and stakeholders, we define the challenges, resulting in an action plan.
The development phase
In this phase, we translate the challenges, desired impact level, capabilities, talents and drivers within the organisation into an effective customised programme.
STEP 3
Programme development
Based on a thorough analysis, we design a customised learning or development programme, tailored to the goals and needs.
STEP 4
Implementation
We launch the programme with hands-on projects and personal action plans.
STEP 5
Evaluation and coaching
Through an evaluation session and coaching, we support personal development and achievement of results.
STEP 6
Presentation and reflection
Participants present their action plans and results, followed by an (anonymous) evaluation to identify developments and trends.
