Learning Expeditions : intense, original, personalized
WHAT IS AN
EXPEDITION ?
EXPEDITION
METHODOLOGY
The learning process during an expedition is a
result of two dimensions of thinking, divergent
and convergent.
Learning comes from immersion into
stimulating content and an inspiring
environment, combined with the emergence of
reflection and creative output.
This particular approach allows participants
to become agents of their own learning and
champions of the resulting transformation.
Learning Expeditions are discovery
programs that extend over several days
in carefully selected locations, and are
designed to allow the emergence of
new ideas and creative solutions.
A variety of activities - exchanges and
experiences – are sequenced to create
an intense program in which every
detail is taken into account.
Expeditions have an original approach
to treating a subject via a multitude of
varied interactions with stakeholders.
Tailored to the specific needs and
interests of the client, they can address
a variety of themes, whether broad and
strategic or specific and operational.
HOW WILL MY
COMPANY BENEFIT?
The multidimensional experience of a
Learning Expedition generates results at
several levels:
Individually, as participants are exposed to
new ideas relevant to their function and
sector, they develop a better contextual
understanding and a willingness to change.
Collectively, expeditions allow groups to
form around a common experience, to align
their vision and deepen their relationships.
The contributions of the expedition help to
enrich and refine strategies and develop
new ideas for the existing businesses at
large, whether radical or incremental, that
will strengthen the competitiveness of the
organization.
