- The Thornbury Approach
Investment in People has been around as a buzzword for decades and is an essential requirement for successful organisations.
At Thornbury, we have an approach to the training and development of individuals that we believe can deliver seriously above-average benefits to you and your people.
Everyone has had the experience of being lectured at; and everyone knows that lecturing is not the most effective way to help anyone develop new insights and skills. We have developed an approach to personal development based on some simple truths.
- People get higher value from their own experiences than from the tutor's.
- People learn more by working in small groups discussing real issues than by sitting listening to an "expert".
- People learn more if they know they can use what they are learning in their daily work.
- People get high value if they are given permission and time to say the unsayable and think the unthinkable in a risk-free environment.
- People thrive on effective feedback.
- Self-awareness is the first step in effective personal development.
- The Learning Event.
- Taking the Learning Back to the Workplace.
AND Thornbury's big plus ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
All our programmes are delivered by consultants who have practical experience of their subject matter as practitioners - we do NOT use "trainers".
In this way, Thornbury meets the two great challenges of training:
- How to help participants get the best out of their learning experience:
- How to transform that learning into more effective personal behaviour and better organisational performance.

"When I asked Thornbury to deliver a Finance for Non-Financial Managers course, they didn't just deliver, they excelled. By spending time with our FD to really understand the nuances of our business, they ensured that they focused on the issues that were pertinent to us."
