Learn to Learn - How we are different
Danaher Development makes six distinct learning methods available for use where appropriate. These may be combined in various ways according to the client's needs.
1. Workshop Implementation Sessions
Workshop-oriented implementation sessions are designed to put practical application behind the material studied. The number, duration, and timing of sessions will be determined based on each client's own unique situation.
2. Spaced Repetition
Psychologists tell us that if we are exposed to a new concept or idea one time after 16 days we may remember as little as 2%. We use a method called spaced repetition, where we consciously expose your team to the same concept or idea for six different repetitions over a period of time. We increase retention rate of information to as high as 62% for a period that exceeds sixteen years.
3. Learning Materials
Because of the effectiveness of spaced repetition, many of our processes involve the use of written and audio materials. Here participants conveniently make use of the power of spaced repetition. These tools are used along with an action plan that contains extensive evaluation sections and goals planning sheets, provided to each participant. Exercises and handouts are used where appropriate based on the specific needs of the participants. We custom facilitate every client.
4. Break-out Groups
One of the best ways to develop the commitment of the participants is to insure that they are actively involved in the learning process. Creating break-out groups and then having each participant act as a group leader and present the ideas of their group keeps the participants actively involved.
5. Practical Application
During the course of the process the participants are responsible for writing what they think the major and secondary ideas are as well as how they are actually applying these concepts and ideas.
6. Built-in Motivation
One of the key elements of the process involves the integration of personal goals with organizational results. As a result, the participants want to learn from the process because of the satisfaction and benefits they will receive through the realization of their personal goals.
