Training

Everyday’s a learning day, right?

Research shows that individuals only retain 10% of what they learn on a training course, and only put into effect 10% of what they retained. These figures show a return of only 1% on an annual investment of £34 billion by UK plc training and development. Innovative and radically different approaches to training and development are needed to have real business impact and return on investment.

Here at Optima, we get under the skin of your organisation. We learn what keeps you up at night, what drives your vision and what motivates your people.

We combine these insights with careful analysis of your goals, aspirations and needs. Then we develop the right tailored solution for your organisation and employees, and help to deliver measurable improvements in your business.
