What is the Vanilla Effect?

Training can simply be described as increasing the skills and knowledge of individuals.  in return, performance improves. However there are numerous examples of individuals and teams attending external training courses only for the brief burst of enthusiasm to be forgotten two weeks later

However, there is a further dimension to the training process.  Highly motivated individuals seem to 'lap up' knowledge and even a small increase can have a dramatic effect on performance.  Conversely, those with a low level of motivation can absorb a large amount of knowledge with only a minimal effect on overall performance

The Vanilla Effect is achieved when, through the training process, individuals and teams move from the 'low motivation' curve to the 'high motivation' curve

By working with your own personnel, over a period of time, assisted by their colleagues, we make the training process a 'rite of passage' during which individual and team motivation dramatically improve.  Unlike external courses, however, the performance is sustained

Using your own Resources

There is a group of people who know better than anyone how to make your business tick.  You and your own staff. Individually, your key people know what makes your business work, but collectively they may not be sharing that knowledge with others Our starting point is always to identify the skills and competencies needed and then to look within your business to see who best can share these.

 We can then provide a Work based Instructor course that can give each the skills to share this knowledge, primarily on a one-to-one basis.  In this way it helps to minimise the costs but more importantly, we develop team working and extend motivation beyond those already trained.

We can then provide the skills, for example interpersonal skills, not necessarily available in your Company.  Since we charge only for the days our facilitator is on your premises, the number of trainees is at your discretion making it a highly effective way of improving performance
