Introduction to Our SuperNet Programs

Our extensive inter-connected SuperNet training programs build competence and confidence to maximize the potential of organizations. Those we train learn to develop top-performing teams who are crystal clear about:

1. Bringing out the best in people
2. Developing the self-starter mechanism
3. Building and using core relationship competencies

Listening to our clients
Our award-winning SuperNet for Supervisors and Team Leaders program was born out of a client’s request for “a targeted, skills-based training program that uses a long-term process rather than a scatter-gun, hit-or-miss approach.” Our other SuperNet courses followed specific requests from our clients in response to their organizational needs.

We know your needs change. Let us know what you need. We’ll be happy to custom-design a training series to help you accomplish your vision.

The consortium model
Some of our clients participate in our consortium model of training. They join other companies from similar industries and send a few participants at a time to a particular course series. Benefits include:

• Ongoing training, which means new employees can “catch up.”
  
• Cost efficiency.
  
• Participants sharing experiences and learning from each other (We’ve even had participants make sales to other participating companies!).
  
• Reduced travel times and costs when courses are held at a local company.

We have offered both Management Development and Supervisor and Team Leader Development as consortium training.

If you are interested in consortium training, let us know and we’ll work together to get it set up.

The process approach
We assume the reason you are providing learning opportunities is to support participants as the needs in your organization change. That’s why we take a long-term, process approach to learning. By “process” we mean:

1. Each course pinpoints techniques and methods that support long-term behavior change.
2. All of our training is done in courses of at least 10 hours.
3. Courses are offered over several months to two or three years.
4. Each course builds on key concepts, which interconnect.

Train-the-trainer
Our SuperNet training includes an optional train-the-trainer process for organizations that want to develop internal talent to facilitate ongoing SuperNet programs.

Our Team Development Process™ for senior team members determines trust levels and works to align purpose, vision, values, and roles.

This course builds trust and alignment within your organization by creating a clear focus from the top down. This comprehensive program targets senior team members and focuses on ways they can improve results and relationships throughout the organization.

SuperNet for the Senior Team first measures team clarity and agreement on the organizational purpose, vision, values, and goals. Using that information and the results of a trust survey, the course goes on to identify specific barriers to achieving team goals and strategies for increasing and modeling trust throughout the organization.

This course helps the senior team get crystal clear about:

• The vision, values, and goals of the team and the organization
• The connection between what is modeled and what gets done
• The productivity power of alignment
