The Situation

My client was spending an inordinate amount of money sending staff on public courses that were expensive.  General feedback from attending public courses was there was no relation or context to the candidates own business and ways of working.  Courses deemed as “poor value”.

The Task

Design and tailor targeted SAFe® training to match the context of the client programmes and staff backgrounds.  Find ways to save the client on training costs for >200 staff.

The Action / Approach

I created specific ‘vignettes’ tailored to the clients’ own business needs such that they were relatable.  I facilitated joint client and supplier training to support the need for greater collaboration.  I negotiated and procured SAFe® Enterprise Subscription training licences in order realise very large cost savings and greater value for money.

The Result

I brokered the use of the SAFe® Enterprise Subscription (SES) licences for significant cost savings to clients over sending candidates on individual public courses.  Courses were delivered as cohorts and were specifically tailored, targeted and impactful through the use of business specific vignettes and exercises to support better learning.
