JDA Approach to Delivering Skill-Based
Training Programs
Perhaps the most important thing to know about our programs is that they are model-based and skill-oriented. JDA is committed to developing individuals through skill-based training. A major strength of ours is supporting training to ensure that the participants become confident using the skills that have been taught. Three factors that contribute to successful learning and to the transfer of skills are the design of the course, its reinforcement and our consultants.
We design our programs to promote behavioral change—change that is seen by participants during and following the seminar. All programs are based on actual business experiences and combine lectures, skill demonstrations, interactive activities, realplay practices, feedback, and discussions to ensure that new behaviors are learned.
Our training methodology has achieved lasting behavior change in participants because our programs are designed to be:
- Practice-Driven—Participants complete several skill practices in each module and receive personalized feedback by our highly skilled consultant.
- Model-Driven—Participants learn the skills within the context of practical models that help make personal application easier and more consistent.
- Reinforced—JDA works creatively with clients to find ways during and after a project to support its integration into the organization's culture and management objectives. Options include designing practice role-plays for coaching sessions, coaching managers on how to support the skills, and reinforcement training days following the program.
