A leading supermarket chain wanted to up-skill its workforce in a range of personal effectiveness areas such as communication skills, presentation skills, negotiation skills, planning and improved team-working.

However, because of the sheer amount of training programmes their staff attend, they wanted something that would not only cover all of these areas, but that would also be completely different to anything they've ever done before.

They also wanted the event to be energetic, fast-paced, exciting, innovative and something that would be talked about for years. Enter Righttrack...

The solution was a custom designed redhotactive development programme called The Theatre Event. This was purposely designed to not only be challenging and fun, but to cover a broad range of different learning experiences and outcomes, including:

Day one starts with a briefing on the challenge ahead and the different objectives that need to be met. Delegates work together to create their ideas for the theatre production. However, this event operates at two levels, creative and processes. Delegates need to sustain their creativity with a sound business case and then negotiate for the items they need. The group work through the day and early evening in preparation for day two.

The morning of day two is spent finalising the production and completing the performance/s. During the afternoon, delegates go through a very thorough review of the activity, reflecting on actions and consequences, behaviours that helped or hindered, skills which contributed to meeting objectives. Trainer input is targeted to the fill the gaps and all delegates prepare group and/or individual action plans.

In the evening delegates actually perform their production in front of a live audience.
