Sage Portfolio Group’s learning and development programs transfer learning to the work place in a way that ensures clients get value from the dollars and time invested.

Signature Programs

Sage Portfolio Group offers three signature programs that can be delivered to your organization. These programs focus in three areas that we see as key to organizational change and vibrancy over time. The programs are:

• Building a Legacy of Leadership
• Sales Outbreak
• Creating a Coaching Culture

Curriculum Designed with the Learner in Mind

Sage Portfolio Group’s leadership programs offer robust courses for all levels of management, from the first-time supervisor or the mid-level manager to the executive. Our comprehensive programs are specifically designed to ensure success at each level of leadership.

Sage Portfolio Group’s learning and development programs also provide excellent value because they are designed to meet the needs of adult learners with a variety of learning styles. Whether a participant learns best through analysis, problem solving, movement, writing, experimentation, small group work, individual reflection or through others’ experiences, Sage Portfolio Group’s programs will deliver a responsive educational experience, designed to meet a diversity of learning preferences.

Training Plus Coaching: A Powerful Combination

In a study done by Showers in 1987 and since supported by recent studies such as Linda Pfeiffer’s of Informatica, only 5% to 10% of the knowledge and skills imparted by typical training and development methods are transferred into the work place.

The Xerox Corporation found that the impact of using follow-up coaching after formal training gave a massive 87% increase in the effectiveness of training when compared to training alone. A 1997 study by Olivero, Bane and Kopelmann concluded that a three-day interactive training program on management competencies followed by eight weeks of follow-up coaching increased productivity by an astonishing 88%, while training alone increased productivity by 22.4%.

Whether your organization chooses from our catalogue of leadership curricula or our customized learning and development programs, we follow up your training with individualized coaching to ensure you have received value for your investment.
