About
As part of their revised graduate development framework, The Miller Group recognised their graduate intake would benefit from recognising the importance of key behaviours within their property development and construction business.
Impact designed a challenging three-day experiential learning event to provide opportunities for the graduates to explore and develop these skills in a safe learning environment.
By the end of the programme, the graduates needed a clear understanding and have started to develop the ability to take personal ownership of:
- Trust and self-disclosure – the relationship between the two and risks involved in each
- Values – how to live the Miller values, and how this translates into actual behaviour
- Personal influence – what you can take responsibility for individually and as part of the wider business
- Networking and relationships – how to use the relationships developed with your peers on the programme effectively as your career progresses
Impact UK designed a challenging three-day residential programme that incorporated a high level of experiential activities and review sessions. Throughout the programme, the graduates progressed from operating in small groups, to collaborating in larger groups.
Impact facilitated an in-depth action planning session to help the graduates focus on and commit to practical outcomes they could implement back in the workplace. This crucial session culminated in a one-minute pitch to camera detailing the nature of their learning. Impact edited this film, which was subsequently used to demonstrate to Miller's board what the graduates gained from the experience.
"Working with Impact on the design and delivery of this programme was certainly an enjoyable experience. I particularly valued their ability to creatively interpret ideas into activities, their willingness to share their extensive learning and development knowledge and their flexibility in responding to our ever changing requirements. The dedication and commitment the facilitators demonstrated throughout the actual event went above and beyond. The result ~ an experience that challenged our graduates, exceeded my own expectations and provided real value for our business.”
