One-on-One

Perhaps the greatest skill that a manager can possess is the ability to communicate effectively.  The Irons Group Ltd. offers communicating laboratories where participants develop their skill at communicating one-on-one with another human being.  Through a series of exercises using the Creative Clarification Method addressing specific subject matter, the skill of communicating is honed until it becomes almost naturally and is transferable to any given subject matter.

Creative Group Consensus

Group clinics are offered for those who have mastered the Creative Clarification Method in the Creative Communicating Laboratories.  In these clinics, participants develop their skill at leading a group in defining and resolving either problems or opportunities, using the group to arrive at a solution.  In effect, each group member sits in an advisory capacity to the person presenting.  This is possibly the finest forum for the resolution of problem situations or the capitalizing upon of opportunities that exist.
 

Logic says that the creativity of a group will always be greater than the creativity of any one person.  As that creativity is focused, the issue under consideration can be addressed and solutions found.

Key Questions:

Are you faced with issues which may require the use of creative input from other persons?
Are you faced with some possible opportunities that could benefit from creative input from others?
Do you feel comfortable leading a group?
Are you skilled at developing teamwork within your organization?

Deliverables include:

The ability to work together as a team.
The ability to develop leadership skills and lead a group.
The ability to resolve problems and capitalize on opportunities.
