Arden Consulting believes training programs are best designed in a collaborative relationship with the client. Working together the consultant and client identify the desired outcomes of the program. In addition, specific ways participants and the organization will benefit from the training investment are detailed. All training programs are customized to address the most important issues that managers and staff face. Language and terminology that communicates clearly within the organizational culture is used.

Participants in training programs should be exposed to management concepts and theories, as well as acquire practical tools and skills that can be immediately applied. In designing training programs Arden Consulting draws on the latest and most pertinent information from organizational development and related fields. These teachings are combined with Arden Consulting's extensive experience working with organizations of all types. We ensure that training programs are not generic, but that they are carefully adapted to the situation at hand. As a result, participants learn applicable tools and processes for the unique demands they face in their organization.

Arden Consulting programs are action-oriented, based on the effective process of "learning by doing." Experiential exercises are provided that simulate the challenges facing participants and their organization. Consultant and participants focus on transferring key learnings directly to the workplace. Practice is provided in sustaining learning processes in the workplace, and reducing the cycle time involved in learning and implementing improvements.

Arden Consulting's approach is to assist training participants in building a "toolkit" of models and techniques they can put to use when they return to work. After training activities are completed, Arden Consulting can support clients in developing follow-up processes that assist participants in applying the tools and skills they have acquired.
