Consultants
and training solution provider TMI has introduced a new method of course
delivery designed to develop the skills of those who are short of time.
"TAKE90
is a new learning concept which came directly from talking to the people we
work with and understanding their needs," says Susanna Mitterer, director
of sales. "Few employees can afford time away on long training courses so
we created sessions which would break down complex issues into bite-sized
chunks."
As
the name suggests TAKE90 sessions last 90 minutes and Mitterer claims they can
deliver more than 60 topics anywhere in the UK at any time."
The
roster of topics is growing at a rate of around two per week and each falls
into one of nine categories – interpersonal skills, innovation, 21st Century
working, customer service, time management, personal development, management
and business skills.

During
one session led by TAKE90 programme director Claire Straddling, delegates were
given an insight into improving their creative thinking.
The
session included sufficient content to inspire and interest participants
despite its brevity, consisting of a clear structure, practical exercises, a
brief and a handout which could be filed away for personal reference.
