Experiential training
What is experiential learning in a model company?
Experiential learning is the most natural and powerful form of learning.
That is why learning in the field, or ‘learning by doing‘, can be used to acquire or develop skills.
A method for learning by doing
To learn a new skill, our brain has to process information and organize it.
Experiential training involves learning based on the experience of real situations and practical exercises, in which participants have the opportunity to ‘learn by doing’ what they will then apply in the company.
Benefits of experiential learning for organizations
Precisely because it enhances and stimulates analysis, action, involvement, and learning, experiential education differs markedly from other types of training.
Through the guidance of qualified lecturers, members of a corporate or inter-company team recreate business situations and problems, analyze and develop new solutions to real challenges, and take inspiration from national and international best practices to achieve operational excellence in the organization.
Here are five concrete benefits of experiential education:
1. Increased efficiency and performance levels
Experiential training gives trainees the opportunity to immediately apply what they have learned to solve daily work challenges in their own business context.
2. Real-time feedback
The experience requires practice and focused coaching on what is observed during the action.
Each activity includes a session dedicated to feedback from the trainer and the participants who are part of the team.
3. Developing effective organisational and thinking habits
Not just training, but a learning experience.
Because being part of the transformation leads to a change of mindset and organization that can then be transferred to your company.
4. Testing and developing solutions to internal problems
Immersion in a real business environment allows one to recognize oneself in the proposed problems and to explore and test efficient solutions in a risk-free context.
5. Immediate understanding of one's own improvements
Participants’ commitment can receive immediate feedback: they can see if they are improving thanks to continuous feedback, resolve their own shortcomings and return to challenge themselves. A continuous learning-action-feedback cycle that brings immediate results.
