Getting the best from Inspirations

Once you have made contact with us there are a series of steps that help us to identify the most effective solution for you and your business:

Our first meeting

At this meeting we will have an in-depth discussion about your requirements and collect sufficient information to prepare a proposal. Sometimes this may mean talking to other people within your business.

Proposal

We assimilate the information gleaned from our first meeting to present an accurate picture of your requirements. Our proposals are then written highlighting a range of options and contain all the details you require to show how Inspirations will deliver the results you require. If you wish, we can meet again to talk through the proposal in more depth.

Costs

The proposal will contain a full breakdown of the costs for each option. Our charges are based on the time it will take to prepare and deliver each assignment. For example a tailored 2-day workshop for 12 managers usually works out at around £200 per delegate including design work.

Research

The amount of research will vary according to the nature of the assignment and those involved. Some examples of the research we use include: focus groups, interviewing managers and team members, attending management and board meetings, and shadowing key people. We ensure that we understand the people, culture, products, markets, competitors and environment.

Design

You may choose to be involved in the design phase. Some clients ask us to work side-by-side with their training team so that they are able to learn from the design process, others prefer Inspirations to take control of the design - in either case we use our knowledge and experience to create a solution that fits.

Raising the Profile

Once the event or Programme is designed, experience has shown us that briefing stakeholders and line managers is the next step to success. The business then understands what you are trying to achieve and can lend its support in a variety of different ways. Whether it’s an interactive launch, a presentation to your board or a series of briefing packs, we will work with you to help you achieve your objectives – we can help you with sourcing your venue, the design, planning and administration of the whole of your event.

Delivery

We will deliver your Programme at a time and location convenient to you, whether it’s on or off site. Depending on your preference we can provide facilitators to manage the whole event, we can co-deliver with your facilitators or we can train your own team to undertake the delivery.

Review

Following on from the assignment, with you we will agree what the successes of the project were and what we would change next time round.

Evaluation

Evaluation methods and processes are agreed with you up front. Whichever methods you choose we will work with you to ensure they are undertaken at the appropriate and agreed times.
