March 15th - L&D intervention with a European client

A eventful March 15th 2013 for me
The client is a specialist and technology partner for plant, equipment, and services for processing basic foods and for manufacturing advanced materials.
Got the opportunity to work on this project through a sub contract from the Training Firm engaged to execute this training. We met the Training Firm on Monday , March 11th at their Office.
We understood the business context in which this European food processing was organizing its sales meet at a Resort in Bangalore later this week.
We understood the brief was to get the younger /newer members to bond with the rest of the team . The focus was to build cross functional communication, bring in a sense of urgency to the sales team,to go to market instead of analysis of the upside and downside of approaching clients.
Build Trust within and between the R & D team , Sales team , customer Team and fulfillment team.
We spent a few hours designing the learning interventions with the Senior trainer and coach at this training firm who has Decades of international Facilitation experience .
We decided on the interventions and the brief and the debriefing points over the next few days.
On March 15th , We worked with the training team from the international training firm to deploy the discussed learning interventions mostly according to plan with a few tweaks for the European client at their annual sales team.
The training audience was a mix of different nationalities with most participants from India, the next set of participants were from Europe and a delegate from South east Asia. ,
We had a three tiered point system for the learning interventions resulting in a self managed assessment system for performance evaluation across the 3 learning interventions we deployed for 4 shuffled teams.
A key insight provided by a Senior Expat Employee at this sales meet training .was Leaders might Collaborate between teams however what holds the key for organization success is day to day cross functional team work at all levels.its important even followers collaborate
