The Coverdale Learning Method

Learning by Experience

Special about the Coverdale learning method is the conscious and goal-oriented learning from experience. We enable participants to build on their different levels of knowledge and experience, while at the same time
and at the same time use them for the benefit of other participants.

The tasks that the participants work on are either directly tailored to the respective company or have a practical structure as neutral tasks and must lead to real, verifiable results with limited resources.

In contrast to everyday work, however, in the training situation we take extensive time to reflect on leadership and cooperation. We check the results against the goals set and evaluate the approach with a process review.

In the Coverdale process reviews facilitated by the consultant, the participants work on the following questions:

• Which approach/methods and personal behaviours were helpful – and why?
• Which procedures/methods and which personal behaviours were rather inhibiting – and for what reason?
• How can these findings be usefully transferred to the next work situation in the course and in everyday work?

Regardless of the training topics, participants can take away conscious and goal-oriented learning from experience as one of the most important tools for continuous development.

In the theory sequences of the training, the consultants then build on the experiences of the participants. They give suggestions, offer new methods, provide explanatory models and encourage participants to try out new methods and behaviours.
