How we work with you.
We start with a no-obligation phone call to start with.
DunlopShaw first listens to you about what challenges you would like solved. We call this our discovery phase - what you’d like assistance with. We are available to meet in person, communicate by email, discuss via a phone call or meet virtually online, and in many cases a combination of these.
This allows yourself and DunlopShaw to precisely define what you are needing. We then develop/create/build the learning materials you need. We can then deliver and provide you with what you really need.
We use a process of:
1. Discovery
2. Define
3. Develop
4. Deliver
Here at DunlopShaw, we know our learning ‘world’ and you know your organisation. Let us help you create growth through our learning.
Feel free to reach out to us for a no-obligation call.
We will let you know of some options for how we can help you.
