WHY CHOOSE
FIG TREE?
With the fast pace of technological advancements, organizations and their employees need to constantly update their skills and knowledge. Fig Tree Learning can help bridge this gap by providing consulting coupled with customized training solutions tailored to your specific needs.
In certain organizations, learning and development may occur informally through on-the-job training, mentorship, or self-directed learning rather than through formalized L&D programs. While informal learning can be effective, it may not always fill the gaps of your current training needs or align with the organization's goals to provide effective results.
Unlike generic or off the shelf training programs, Fig Tree Learning designs customized training experiences. This personalization leads to more effective learning outcomes by focusing on results-oriented training which can provide measurable improvements in employee performance, productivity, and engagement.
HOW IT WORKS
1. SEED
The first step in the process is a meeting to discuss the specific challenges that your organization is facing. After this meeting you will receive a proposal outlining how our solution can solve your unique challenges.
2. WATER
During this phase you will receive a Statement of Work (SOW) outlining the scope of the project including the specific objectives, deliverables, and a proposed project timeline.
3. SPROUT
In the sprout phase we will conduct in depth interviews with the appropriate stakeholders and begin gathering content. This phase will include initial storyboarding or scripting, depending on the strategy or solution proposed.
4. FIG TREE
During this phase we begin the detailed training strategy or solution design and development. For training design, this includes review cycles and any additional editing that may need to take place.
5. FIG
This is the last phase of the process where the training solution is finalized, delivered and deployed. Any additional testing will conclude and a measurement strategy will be put in place.
*CONSULTING
If you pursue consulting services, we continue the conversation over a particular time frame until services are no longer needed.
VALUES
CREATIVITY
We encourage innovation, experimentation, and forward thinking to develop advanced training solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients. Creativity and innovation are key drivers of learning and growth, inspired by the fig tree's ability to adapt and evolve over time.
GROWTH
We are committed to continuous learning, development and improvement for both ourselves and our clients, similar to that of a fig tree continuing to grow and bear fruit over time. This includes looking beyond the present to deliver future impact with performance driven results.
NURTURING
We have a nurturing environment where clients can feel supported and empowered to thrive and reach their full potential; just like a fig tree's enduring presence in the landscape, which symbolizes stability, continuity, and nurturing care over time. We foster a community of collaboration where everyone can share knowledge, experiences, and insights to support your organizational learning and development needs.
ROOTEDNESS
We are grounded in knowledge and expertise, like the deep roots of a fig tree. This signifies our commitment to delivering quality learning solutions rooted in adult learning principles. We use learning measurement and data analytics such as surveys, performance analysis, observations and data from various technological tools to assess training effectiveness and continually improve our offerings based on these metrics.
SUSTAINABILITY
Similar to a fig tree's longevity of living as long as 100+ years under the proper conditions and care, we have a commitment to sustainability, ethical business practices, and long-term relationships built on shared values, goals, support and integrity.
