"I just wanted to say the Urban Design + Placemaking course was excellent, you have the IT factor. I have become a placemaker, analysing every location I see, my wife thinks I have gone nutty !!!" Ray Gordon, Lawyer, Melbourne, July 2012.

"I found it important that there was a cross section of our Council attending your course - as you clearly insisted. In this sense I was equally surprised to acknowledge that the “voices and views” of my colleagues had found a way of entering my essay of the Mall. So thank you Andrew! Your course did have an impact on me!" Elio Gatti, Gosford City Council, June 2012

Endorsement

Revenue

Income for your organisation

Sime Darby Training Course Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

Host our Two day "in-house" corporate course and invite members from your organisation to cover your costs.  This could also help to align your organisational goals with your members. 

This model assumes a ‘organisation’ would organise the venue and catering and share the costs amongst the participants. The host would act as the client and pay our invoice. We minimise your risk by not committing unless you have the numbers required. We would be happy to help with marketing. For example - allow a budget of $10,000 for our two day course, venue, catering and equipment. You charge 25 participants $1,000 to attend (the amount is up to you) with the following benefits:

  • a saving of $500 (our public course is $1,500 per person);
  • shared learning within your membership;
  • opportunity to network; and
  • improves viability of course - particularly relevant for regional areas.

This enables your organisation to generate $15,000 to cover your admin costs and further support your members. 

Alternatively, consider online training at $599.00 per person ex GST.

Action

Facilitated Workshops

Seeking maximum interaction between participants and an endorsed outcome? 

Urban Renewal Taskforce Vision Workshop BCC 2009

Several clients have asked us to merge our training course with a workshop format. They might already have a solid platform and are seeking learning combined with an action orientated plan.

We have specialist expertise in facilitating meeting and workshops. Stakeholder endorsement, innovation, transparency and creativity must be key outcomes. Almost certainly improving the likelihood of shared decisions and the effectiveness of the solutions. We work with clients to increase their innovation capability - developing skills, organisational structures and mechanisms, and identifying and developing their process of successful innovation. Andrew Hammonds is a recognised facilitator of group dynamics, with experience over the last 15 years. Our clients seek effective stakeholder endorsed outcomes, generated though a structured workshop or meeting, often in a matter of hours. More group discussion, discussion, exercises and active involvement.
