How We're Different

Discover A Results Orientated Approach To Strategic Development

Difference in Approach
Consulting		Facilitated Development
Dispensing advise through *telling* from an expert or an informed, researched, analytical perspective.		The practice of listening and guiding subject matter experts toward the client's desired outcomes. *Asking* the right questions to allow participants to discover, internalize and develop ownership in the execution of their answers.
Tactical Differences
Traditional Seminar Training
Measurable Results
Difficult to establish quantitative measures.		Proven	Consistent track record for significant measurable results
		Customization	Projects are tailored to meet specific stated quantifiable objectives.
		Goals Focus	Vista's Goal Achievement Process generates measurable results in personal, professional and organizational categories.
Strategic Approach
*Spray and Pray*	Build skills and hope for results	Targeted, Define and Refine	Our processes focus on your specific issues. We determine what success looks like before we begin. We then tailor a process to focus on the key deliverables to assure quantifiable ROI and clear deliverables.
Application of Learning
Taught	Teaching a new skill or concept.	Facilitated	Applying the use of skills to individual needs and circumstances.
Retention
One time exposure to concepts and ideas	Like drinking from the fire hose. With the rapid flow of valuable information, only a few swallows are retained. The average retention rate of information typical seminar attendees is only 2% after just 16 days. It's not because seminars are poorly presented, but because one-time exposures don't incorporate effective learning methodologies for long-term retention and application.	Spaced Repetition	Retention levels of 62 to 75% for 15 years and lifetime.
		Follow-up Sessions	Reinforcement for lasting implementation.
Motivation
Outside-In		Inside-Out	Participants internally develop a personal agenda for sustaining positive change and execution of their action plan.
Attitude Development
Not typically addressed		Implementation	A process for replacing unproductive habits with new productive behaviors.
		Spaced Repetition	Repeated exposure to positive concepts to develop new habits of thought below the conscious level where attitudes reside.
		Personal Goals Development	Develops a connection between professional and organizational achievement and personal gain.
		Discovery and Self Awareness	Builds a deeper understanding of interior and exterior motivation through behavior assessments and self discovery.
Delivery Convenience
Fixed Locations and Times		On-Site Facilitation	Eliminates travel time and expense
		Flexible Scheduling	Minimum interruption of the business routine.
Once and done		Follow up Sessions for 12 Months	Commitment to generating measurable results and assuring sustained success.
