Here's how TWST makes your cMBE program even more successful

The first enthusiastic responses to our new corporate MBE program (cMBE) are already in. Now, together with our partner TWST, an innovative organizational consulting and training firm, we are taking the next step. Indeed, with 10 years of experience as a successful agency, TWST is the perfect candidate for guidance on the cMBE program. Dictus Nicolai, founder and partner of TWST, explains in this interview how they approach this.

Help from within

Dictus: "As consultants and trainers, we want projects within organizations to succeed so that ambitions are realized. With our experience and personal approach, we get to work. This way we get to know the organization from the inside out and help clients achieve their goals in a focused way. When I heard that a corporate MBE program would be offered by SkillsTown, I immediately saw common ground to contribute. This is based on our purpose: to let all executives realize their ambitions SELF."

The right approach

With SkillsTown's cMBE, employees work together on theories and practical business cases from their own organization about leadership. Dictus says: "The corporate MBE program looks good: it is complete and practical. I expect participants to start with great enthusiasm. We learn from our consulting projects that enthusiasm is an important condition for success, but unfortunately often proves insufficient. Training and improvement efforts offer only a temporary boost. We think that's a shame. And especially unnecessary."

"With more tools and with personal guidance, we ensure that the participant successfully puts what they have learned into practice."

"The trick is to make it as contagious as possible, so that the participants and their organization are inspired and go along with the management program and apply it in their daily work. With more tools and with personal guidance, we ensure that the participant successfully puts what they have learned into practice, so that it contributes to a better business result for the organization. In this way you get a guaranteed return from the program."

The guidance process

To help participants within the organization with this proper approach to the program, TWST starts the mentoring process. Dictus says, "The content of the program depends on the company and the participant following the program. Therefore, we help put the cMBE into practice in a way that fits the context of the client."

"Based on what was learned and applied, participants make presentations to other participants and their supervisors."

"During the process, we guide both the participant individually and in a group. For example, we schedule several intervision and coaching moments, in which we determine what they are going to work on and what they want to apply in their work. During these sessions, we spar about the assignments and discuss what they are up against. We conclude our coaching with a master's thesis. Based on what has been learned and applied, participants make presentations to other participants and their supervisors."

Choosing efficiency, choosing TWST

Dictus: "Our advisors and trainers have a positive attitude. This is how they get participants moving, towards results. With our 10 years of experience, we have developed an approach based on our BILT Model®. This allows us to get the process started quickly and with fun. With SkillsTown providing the right knowledge, we will improve the business together and the client will more than earn back her investment."
