Delivery

We followed the Six Seconds’ process of engagement, activation, and reflection to deliver the training. Highlights included:

• Engaging participants in the topic and with each other through activities to find the fastest creative solutions as a group
• Fostering individual flexibility and fluent thinking by having the courage to step up in stressful situations that are outside the comfort zone
• Exploring personal brain snapshots and talents to leverage strengths for creative thinking
• Gaining insight about the “operating system” of brain and experience differences by thinking creatively within the group
• Cultivating awareness about the importance of different perspectives
• Using the EQ competency of Exercising Optimism to explore new opportunities.
• Collaborating for optimum results and being part of innovative solutions

Results

At the end of the training, participants were divided into three groups to move forward and convert the learning into practice. To stay on the right path, they will find a topic related to their specific line of business and prepare a group presentation that they will give to upper management at Hyundai.

Reflecting on the day, all participants shared their opinions and, collectively, they evaluated the training as successful. The outcomes included, “Giving them different perspectives that are adaptable to their daily life,” “fostering effective teamwork for innovation”, “choosing to stand on the positive side of situations,” and “solving problems with creative and innovative approaches.”

The HR representative responsible for the project shared her opinion as well, saying “The flow was great. The messages reached the participants and they enjoyed the entire day. Thank you very much; it was clear that you worked very hard to prepare it. Well done.”

Key learnings from the Field Leaders included:

• It was a good and valuable training. It gave us clues about using our brains better and sharing our ideas. Erdem Ercan is really an expert on the subject and his facilitation was really good. Thank you.
• Subject is great and adaptable to our business life. Thank you very much. I can say that my perspective has changed.
• It was a very educational and fun training. I realized that I need to look at situations without getting bored and from another perspective. The facilitator is an expert on the subject; he did a great job. Thank you.
• Much valuable information that I can use after the training. I realized the importance of different perspectives. 
• The subject of the training is important and we received much information on how to develop ourselves. Examples and activities are catchy. We received information on how to improve our mindset. Informative and well prepared. The team is successful and we received positive energy from them all the time.
• I realized in the training that I need to re-check myself over and over again.
• We need to care about ideas and humanity. It was great to learn things fully. I’ve participated in many trainings before and they were boring. I’ve slept in some of them. But today was the contrary. I thank you so much.

From the consultant’s perspective, creating this project, preparing all the details from scratch by collaborating with a highly-talented network of people and then facilitating it was a great pleasure. We are looking forward to continuing this exciting work as there are 11 groups to go!
