- How To Choose A Management Training Partner

Partner Selection Tips

Choosing an external management training company to be your learning partner can be a daunting task. How do you know who is the best fit for your organisation and its particular training needs?

The purpose of providing professional development is to deliver lasting value to your organisation, long after the training course is over. But it cannot be taken for granted that just any provider will be effective at optimising the long-term efficiency, productivity, and engagement of your teams. 

With that in mind, here are our top ten tips for choosing the right training partner and ensuring your organisation receives maximum benefit from the partnership.

  • Be clear on why you need the training now. What organisational pressures or goals are you facing and what contribution are you expecting from your management training partner?

  • Make sure your organisation is clear about WHY you are looking to outsource. Do you need external expertise and skills? Is it a project deadline you can't achieve on your own? This clarity can help when determining which partner would best suit your specific needs.

  • The consequence of a poorly chosen PC repair service provider might only cost you a couple of computers and a few annoyed colleagues. However, outsourcing management training means putting your organisation’s standards and values in the hands of an external company.

    Be very careful about outsourcing your training project to a company that can't demonstrate a consistent level of competence and client satisfaction.

  • Word of mouth referrals are almost always the safest way to select a development partner. A recommendation from a trusted colleague, acquaintance, or advisor is far safer than simply seeing who appears on an internet search. But don’t think this recommendation means you don’t have to do your homework on the company yourself – you still have to ensure that the provider has the credentials to meet your organisation’s requirements.

  • The bait-and-switch is one of the most annoying practices employed in the outsourcing sector. Providers show up to the sales meetings with senior personnel, but when the contract has been secured, you never see them again - unless there is something else they can sell you. Establish early on exactly who will be allocated to your training and development programme.

    Ask about this person's expertise, track record, qualifications, and level of authority within their company. Don't take a CV or personal profile as a statement of fact. Dig deep and check client testimonials.

  • A long client list full of respected brands can look impressive. But to ensure your potential partner can actually deliver on their commitments, look for client testimonials. Real feedback from real people in a similar situation to you. If verifiable testimonials aren't available, perhaps you would be best not to make such an appointment.

  • Beware of providers who promise you the world. Their intention may be genuine and well-intentioned but even the most impressive sales pitch will end in frustration (and possibly litigation) if agreed deliverables aren't achieved. Don't be so relaxed that any results, however small, are considered a success, but don't expect so much that even very positive changes are deemed to be failings.
