Irvine & Wilson Journal of Management Development highlights six Key Components for Successful Experiential Programmes.

Irvine & Wilson Research says.
Training should take place using an environment and / or activities which are novel to the participants.

Sabre Corporate Development.
Takes great care to ensure that all learning experiences take place with unusual and highly memorable locations and / or activities whether locally or internationally. Our unique range of concepts and approaches ensures impact.

Irvine & Wilson Research says.
People should be encouraged to take psychological, but not actual risks through experiential learning methods.

Sabre Corporate Development.
Designs inclusive programmes and events that encourage participants to move away from their comfort zones at their own pace by experiencing new situations in a non-threatening environment. We do not throw people off towers!

Irvine & Wilson Research says.
The choice and make-up of activities should match initially the needs of the individuals and the organisation.

Sabre Corporate Development.
Carefully designs each programme or event to match the specific aims and objectives of each client and their people. This does not rule out flexibility when it is sensed that a change of tack or emphasis will enhance the learning and the outcomes.

Irvine & Wilson Research says.
The programme of activities should ideally reflect the workplace environment.

Sabre Corporate Development.
Is careful to understand the client's real objectives and takes the time to understand the team, the culture from which they come and the activities that will best relate to the people and the organisation. Activities are designed to mirror real issues.


Irvine & Wilson Research says.
Activities should not be skill - but multi-task oriented. The emphasis should be on areas such as decision making and communicating.

Sabre Corporate Development.
Approaches each programme or event afresh and ensures that content addresses a myriad of team and leadership behaviours. Projects mirror the workplace and demand genuine team based approaches along with considered decision making and quality communication.

Irvine & Wilson Research says.
Reviewing processes used in trying to achieve the desired outcomes in tasks should make links and connections with the workplace. This is essential if transfer of learning is to be achieved.

Sabre Corporate Development.
Uses the data and information captured during our diagnostic process with the client to make all activities relevant to the workplace. Process reviews and discussions follow each activity with programme facilitators ensuring that these links are made.
