Our Philosophy - Productivity through Effective Business Engagement

Effectiveness, not just efficiency

Since its inception in early 2003 JHW has established a solid reputation for delivering high quality, high value, and enjoyable events for its clients. While the corporate world has been pre-occupied with efficiency over the last 20+ years, JHW puts greater emphasis on effectiveness. It doesn’t matter how cheaply you do it if it is ineffective. We believe that in order to be truly effective, you need to build strong engagement with your stakeholders. Most of JHW’s events, are aimed at doing this. We are convinced that there is a compelling return on investment for most organisations (see RoI on Training). We look forward to discussing your specific circumstances and helping you find an effective solution.

Change of Behaviour

Unless your staff change they way they conduct themselves in their jobs, no amount of theoretical training is going to provide a return on investment. JHW utilise an effective methodology to ensure behavioural change.

Solutions

JHW does not deliver "canned" training courses. We are keen to provide our clients with solutions to business requirements. We bring a base of proven material delivered by experienced facilitators, with an ability to grab the attention of an audience, and hold it. Prior to a workshop, we spend time with stakeholders to understand the outcomes they are seeking to achieve, and the constraints within which they are working. We then jointly put together a solution, often involving the input of the stakeholders and participants. For most events, we try to arrange face to face workshop briefing sessions (usually over coffee). This is designed to get to know one another, to set expectations, and to start to understand the aspirations of participants. We find workshops are far more productive as result.

 

Life Balance

JHW workshops provide participants with life skills, not just skills for work. We believe strongly in an appropriate balance between hard, conscientious, effective work and recharging the energy levels. We encourage proactively making time to do the things that you want to do.
