In the second of our series of blogs, Niamh McIvor discusses the unique Electra approach to Change Management. In this edition you can learn all about the second phase of this process: ‘Train’.
Progressing onto stage two of our methodology: ‘Train’, we will explore not only how we provide training but how we empower our clients through the process.
THE WHY
Our clients approach us with a distinct goal: to gain the knowledge, expertise and practical skills essential to achieving success, this is their ‘why’. At Electra, our clients are the backbone of our ‘why’; we want to see them succeed. Our role is therefore, to seamlessly convey our expertise in a manner that ensures easy comprehension, maintains knowledge retention rates and sustains client engagement.
STAGE 2: TRAIN
Training is the bridge that transforms knowledge into success. However, it’s not simply about sharing knowledge; it’s about empowering our clients to harness their full potential. To seamlessly deliver this transformative training, we follow our internal PMP framework. This project management process enables us to intricately design our client’s training journey from start to finish.
The project commences by conducting a comprehensive training needs analysis, gaining insights into our client’s unique business environment and forming the basis of a tailored training proposal. With this foundation in place, we initiate the process by designing an appropriate timeline, gaining system familiarisation and developing relevant training materials. These efforts ensure the attainment of the project deliverables.
Finally, our training is delivered within an open, encouraged and relaxed environment, fostering an atmosphere where questions are welcomed and confidence is instilled. As the training concludes, we evaluate our success, often through an extensive ‘lessons learned’ activity. This identifies successful project components and potential improvements, enabling us to adapt our strategies accordingly.

TRAINING CHALLENGES
Our primary training challenge stems from clients limited experience in Change Management. This is evident through their lack of awareness regarding how their job will be impacted after training, creating a resistance towards change. Additionally, insufficient communication results in unset expectations on both our client’s and trainer’s front’s. Our Change Management services address these issues, setting clear expectations, enabling change to be embraced seamlessly.
