What it’s about & the benefits of participating
Your success as an Insight team depends on your ability to “land” your insights and inspire your stakeholders to act on them. Otherwise all your hard work leads to nothing.
This course will encourage your team members to work as hard on communicating their findings as they do on finding them. It’s largely about mindset, planning, and preparation. We share tried and tested tools to help you engage better with your stakeholders and deliver the clear communications that they need, to help drive and support their decisions.
What it covers
- Why the communication element is so important for Insight teams and their organisations
- How to engage with your key stakeholders as a pre-requisite to effective communication
- How to flex your communication style to increase your impact with different people
- How to structure succinct messages using SCQA, the consultants’ tool
- Understanding how stakeholders make decisions, and how you can use Behavioural Economics techniques to encourage them make full use of the insight you share
- Beyond PowerPoint – how to plan and use of different media to reach and impact different audiences.
How you’ll learn
All our workshops focus on developing skills, changing mind-sets and developing action plans and involve a combination of theory, interactive sessions and practical exercises using real examples.
The delivery style is based on the principles of Do-Review-Learn and Apply, so all sessions start with a practical task where attendees are expected to use the tools for themselves before reviewing the benefits and refining their application.
