Honeycomb Consulting Skills Training run regular webinars and workshops. These provide an open opportunity to experience some of our training content and benefit directly from the guidance of one of our MDs or senior trainers. However, we recognise that life is busy and attending in person isn’t always feasible, so we make the webinar recordings freely available here. If you’d rather listen than watch, the audio can be accessed as a podcast through all major podcast apps instead.

This webinar was led by Deri Hughes - Founder and MD of Honeycomb. It focuses on the intricacies of designing a training curriculum for consulting firms and emphasises the importance of structured skill development to build efficient teams.
What to expect:
The session is designed to help you:
Simplify the training curriculum design process.
Identify priority skills linked to business strategy.
Conduct a self-assessment to determine the next steps based on your training design maturity.
Why Training Curriculum Design can be a challenge:
Need for Skilled People: Effective consulting firms require well-developed skills, which necessitates formal training.
Apprenticeship Model: While on-the-job training is crucial, formal training accelerates skill development.
Complexity of Design: Creating a comprehensive training curriculum involves many moving parts and decisions.
Building Blocks of a Training Curriculum
There are four main categories: who, what, how, and when, with an additional focus on measurement and impact analytics.
Who: Identifying the roles and seniority levels of those to be trained.
What: Determining the necessary skills and behaviours that align with business goals.
How: Choosing the modalities of training delivery (workshops, e-learning, self-serve), the instructional strategies, and the content formats.
When: Timing the training in an individual's career and within the business cycle to maximise effectiveness.
Summary
This webinar provides valuable insights into simplifying the complex process of training curriculum design. By breaking down the process into manageable components and emphasising strategic alignment, Deri equips consulting firm leaders with practical tools to enhance their training programmes and ultimately, their firm's performance.
