Design

Each programme is designed as a 2 day module followed by a day for learning circles. (To understand the value of learning circles please see blended learning.) All MDS programmes are designed for adult learning so include only 30% trainer delivery, with 70% of the time spent in interactive learning including:

·         experiential exercises and reviews

·         case studies and reviews

·         scenario discussions

·         role plays

·         team discussions

·         individual and team presentations

·         DVD clips

·         pair work

·         dramas

·         quizzes

Several of the subjects (such as coaching and presentations) have levels of programmes to suit the experience of people at different levels of leadership.
