Business Skills

Proposal Writing

The truth is that no proposal, however well written, can win business unless the product is right. However, a poorly written one can most certainly lose a lucrative contract. This workshop is most effective with an in-house team of five to eight people who work on responding to tenders and writing sales proposals. [Course outline]

Report Writing

Reports usually have many busy readers who need to be able to grasp a complex message quickly. There is no one correct way to write a report, but there is a clear process that you can follow to make the process easier, the result more effective and the starting point more accessible.

Trainer training

It is likely at some point that you will need to deliver training to your people using internal trainers.

We can train your people either in small groups or on a one to one coaching basis. [Course outline]

Action Learning Teams

There are occasions when a training course per se is not the best option. An Action Learning approach can often prove beneficial. This involves you in setting up a small team of staff to consider and work on a specific work-based project or issue. JBM Training can provide a Facilitator to work with your Action Learning team over the period of the project (Most teams meet on a weekly basis over for example a 6 week period). We can offer support in areas such as tools and techniques for problem solving and creative thinking; coaching and input in specific skills such as presenting recommendations to senior management.
