Government and Institutional Training for Operational Success

Leveraging people to improve quality, speed and efficiency of services.

The model for successful improvement in service organizations is shifting from programs to people.

Research from Vanderbilt University’s Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions reported that 39% of government executives surveyed think that the skill of their workforce is a significant obstacle to their agency fulfilling its core mission. Complicating matters are budget cuts, lack of leadership buy-in for new training programs and pressures on available time.

One important aspect of the improvement model is a shift toward people instead of programs. We believe that people are a smart start because they are integral to many of the solutions for government as well as institutional and service organizations.

The TWI Institute is a people business that coaches and trains. Our programs generate results and value in government and institutional workplaces by advancing skills, contributions and self-respect among supervisors and workers. The work we do with you and your teams provides the ideal foundation, or complement, to continuous improvement training, lean, kaizen, operational excellence or talent development initiatives.

 

  • Building skills and reskilling as technology evolves
  • Working to regulatory and compliance standards
  • Finding better ways of delivering training
  • Creating a collaborative improvement culture
  • Adapting to changes in process and people
