Train-The-Trainer Programs
Our Train-The-Trainer Programs teach your instructors how to bring the power of Common Ground's programs to your employees. When large number of individuals are to be trained or where classified, privileged, or critical proprietary information must
be discussed—organizations may prefer to use internal rather than outside training resources.
We certify your trainers to conduct many of our most popular programs, including Negotiate to Win®, Advanced Negotiate to Win, International Negotiate to Win, all adaptations of Negotiate to Win, and The Conflict Resolution Workshop. Highly-regarded organizations such as McCormick, Black and Decker, Keebler, the FDIC, and many others continue to reap tremendous benefits from Common Ground programs taught by their own trainers.
Important Considerations
Before purchasing a Train-The-Trainer Program, clients should carefully weigh the advantages of internally-taught programs against those of Common Ground-instructed sessions. Some of the benefits of having Common Ground conduct your workshops include:
- Subject-matter expertise. Every Common Ground program leader is a distinguished subject-matter expert and active, full-time practitioner
with years of relevant, hands-on experience.
- Curriculum expertise. Because our instructors conduct our programs somewhere virtually
every day of the year, they know them better than anyone. And, since we constantly update and refine every course, they
know all the latest enhancements, too.
- Training expertise. Every Common Ground program leader is an exceptional teacher with considerable training experience and first-rate platform
skills.
- Client and industry
expertise. Our program leaders aren't employees
of your organization, but your attendees may think they are!
Before the session, your Common Ground instructor will spend hours
in interviews and research, learning your business and the issues
confronting your attendees. We make a special effort to
learn and use—correctly—the unique vocabulary and "buzz-words"
of your industry and organization.
- Tailoring.
If you've ever put together a tailored training program, you know
just how difficult and time-consuming a task it is. When
Common Ground conducts your session, we do all of the tailoring
for you. At no additional charge. we create the unique,
convincingly realistic case studies that are so central to high-impact
training. We prepare the written and multimedia materials
that reflect your organization's priorities, concerns, personality,
and style. We target the materials to thoroughly and specifically
address the interests, circumstances, and problems of your trainees.
- Price.
Common Ground continuously strives to keep its training affordable.
Our no-advertising policy, exceptional referral rate, and limited
full-time staff allow us to price our programs far below those
of our competitors. Our workshops are so cost-effective
that even our largest customers — organizations that could easily
conduct Common Ground programs with staff instructors, or even
create their own programs—overwhelming choose not to do so.
- Confidentiality.
If security is your concern, you can relax.
Common Ground zealously protects its clients' privacy and confidentiality.
Both the Company and each individual instructor will execute a
strict Nondisclosure
Agreement before any work is undertaken.
The Bottom Line:
Common Ground programs conducted by Common Ground instructors are
the right choice for the vast majority of organizations in vast
majority of cases. However, in special circumstances, the best solution
may be a Train-The-Trainer Program
to qualify your trainers to conduct Common
Ground programs.
Tailoring
Common Ground works with
you to ensure that the program thoroughly and specifically addresses
your organization's priorities and concerns. We interview
your people and (confidentially, of course) we learn your business—who you are, what you do, how you do it, what your corporate culture
is, where your industry stands and where you stand in your industry,
what your short- and long-term objectives are, and what issues,
problems and circumstances affect your target audience. With
this information in hand, we prepare unique training materials for
you.
Tailored case studies—lifelike scenarios that students can instantly relate to—are
the best way to clarify, validate, and reinforce classroom concepts,
and make them immediately transferable to the workplace. Common
Ground is unsurpassed when it comes to the creation of unique, client-specific
exercises. At no additional charge, we work in partnership
with you to develop convincingly realistic scenarios that will excite
and inform your attendees.
