Aspiral Learning international - catalyst for change

Organisational Learning Audit

The Learning audit is an integrated and transparent process mixing external, self- and peer-assessment based on dialogue and co-operative inquiry. The objective of the audit is to ensure that the future development of tailor-made training activities or the sourcing of off-the-shelf courses address existing problems, are tailored to the strategic plan and operational objectives, foster organisational learning, encourage behavioural change and are delivered in an effective and cost-efficient manner.
Through this process we identify, analyse and report on:

the alignment between the mission, vision, strategic objectives, collective values, governance, and management of the organisation and the expressed and hidden expectations, the behaviours, and the capabilities of its people
the alignment between staff competencies/skills and job requirements
the way structures and processes in the Human Resources function support organisational, departmental, and line management objectives
the organisation's capacity for learning (processes, culture and climate)

Tailor-made Courses

When an organisation has a staff development plan, our consulting team seeks to understand the recommendations and guidelines of this plan to ensure that future training activities are fully integrated. When such a plan does not exist, we recommend that the client conducts a proper Learning Audit to inform the training needs assessment and achieve full clarity about the training brief.

Capacity - Our capacity to create custom-designed training builds on our experience in participative facilitation, learning design, experiential training and work-based/self-managed learning materials. Depending on the identified needs our consulting team can design experiential workshops, short courses or programmes (with possible internet-based components) which are initially delivered face-to-face. Once the pilot is completed to satisfaction, the consulting team trains and hands-over the delivery and operation of the new training to the HR team of our client.

Method - First, the consulting team forms a small co-operative project group of directly interested parties, always including a member of the management team. As a group, they engage with various organisational stakeholders in cycles of work in order to research and fully understand the current training needs and objectives, custom-design training activities, and deliver and refine these activities before handing over future delivery to the client.

Content - We have so far designed and delivered inspiring and experiential trainings such as:

Induction programmes
Skill-share workshops
Gender and diversity workshops
Project management courses
Stakeholder dialogue
HRD Workshops
In preparation - frame for a "campaigning course"

We can also supply level 3, 4 and 5 (UK undergraduate and postgraduate levels) work-based modular self-study materials for all areas of management training. These paper-based course materials benefit from the best learning design in the field of flexible learning and can be supported by professional tutors.

Ethical Supply Chain Workshops

We combine our expertise in CSR and training to help international companies implement their sustainable development strategy in their supply chain and offices in Asia, Europe and Africa. Based on the company's supply chain policy, we custom design and deliver workshops for suppliers and various office staff members. These workshops can have a research, information or training purpose.
