Why do a Splash Project
Why do a Splash Project?
Professors Loïc Sadoulet and Jens Meyer of Insead Business School have used Splash Projects on a number of their training programmes. Here’s what they believe are the most important learning outcomes to be delivered from a Splash project.
Effective Management Skills
- Back to basics: Re-enforcing essential management skills – defining goals, roles & the required process management
- Goal Setting: Stretching personnel and team targets – learning to focus on the problem, defining the target and challenging our own assumptions about it
- End Customer Focus: Market based values – differentiating between what we can (want to) do and what’s needed
- Project Management: Delivering results in an unfamiliar setting – recognising relevant signals of unanticipated changes
Leadership and Corporate Social Responsibility
- Leadership vs Followership: Contextualising leadership opportunities and styles – real life illustrations of the varying operational roles a leader has to play
- Individual & Corporate Responsibility: Sustainable targets – visualising one’s role in the context of the common good
Team Building as a component of a management development course
- Communication across Teams, Cultures and Functions – project “humanises” the others, developing an efficient platform for classroom discussion
- Building Trust – an experience in joint problem solving, enabling constructive discussion between function and roles of even sensitive subjects
