Officer Conferences
How do you get the most from your Officer Conferences?
Officer Conferences are a great opportunity to bring together some of the most important people in the organisation and spend time motivating them; listening to them; working with them; and developing them. They are often the only forum where such a combination of people will be brought together and are tremendous opportunities. For many companies they also represent a significant investment in design, planning, facilitation and management. They have the potential for great benefit, but need careful design and regular review to maintain their life and impact.
We have worked with shipping companies to support the design and running of a variety of conferences, ranging from supporting the design, planning and management through to providing individual sessions focused developing key skills. Our understanding of the industry enables us to design and tailor approaches that will be relevant to the participants and reinforce the aims of the event. Examples of the services include:
• Assistance in the design and planning of the event
• Facilitation of discussion, planning, problem solving and case study sessions
• Training sessions on specific skills:
• Management
• Leadership
• Teamworking
All training is based on a mixture of: practical tasks, skills input, and discussion . These approaches provide an opportunity for participants to be actively involved and relate skills to their working environment.
Our experience suggests that people rate conferences highly if:
• They are actively involved rather than just talked at.
• Their views are included and listened to.
• Real questions are dealt with honestly.
• They can work on real issues that they recognise as being significant.
