“Leadership is practised not so much in words as in attitude and in action.”

Harold Geneen

Measurement & Evaluation

The measurement of training outcomes is crucial in ensuring that your training meets your expectations. Kameleons will measure expectations before and after the training program to ensure that you have achieved a return on investment.   Kameleons can achieve this high standard of training evaluation in one of two ways:

1. Standard Training Evaluation. In the standard evaluation, measurement of expectations is taken before the course and at completion, with result being provided to management within 24 hours of the training course being completed. Feedback is immediate, and course outcomes and satisfaction are reported on in a timely fashion.

2. Integrity & Values Profiling. Kameleons – Developing Leaders is a licensee of the Integrity & Values profiling system, the first of its kind in the world. This fully-tested, fully-benchmarked profiling tool, used before and after training and work experience, provides detailed and comparative data regarding participant behaviours. Due to the depth and detail of the Integrity & Values profile, it is recommended that this evaluation tool be used as part of an individual personal development plan for each participant.

Designed for: Aspiring, entry or middle managers/ leaders

Duration: 2 day or 3 day program
