Sales Superiority
Establishment of Strong Customer Relations & Significantly Increased
Business
Due to the acquisition of a large insurance company by a client dta was
commissioned to provide assessment protocols and performance development
strategies for Managers and Representatives within the newly acquired
organisation.
The project included the identification of core competencies for each of the
roles, the development of an Assessment Centre for potential Managers and
an analysis tool for incumbent and potential Sales Representatives. This
resulted in clear identification of strengths of the sales teams and ongoing
development to increase sales growth.
Innovating Solutions
Deadly Problem Solved
A major Middle East chlorine manufacturer had a major issue with plant
maintenance. This could have potentially had deadly consequences if left
unchecked. The issue was mainly from the perspective of the 18 team
supervisors working together rather than lack of processes or knowledge of
systems.
The issue was how to regularly perform the correct maintenance at the right
time in the most efficient and effective way. dta worked with the client to
create a leadership culture within the maintenance supervisory group. This
was followed by a program to enable those leaders to work effectively with a
more creative and collaborative approach to problem solving.
Customer Loyalty
Poor Performers become High Achievers.
The finance department of an organisation was experiencing poor feedback
from internal customers due to delayed payments, conflict and
misunderstandings. dta’s customer service diagnostic identified areas of
customer focus and interaction effectiveness that required significant
development.
A series of short performance accelerator strategies to improve these areas
were implemented. Almost immediately the team began receiving positive
feedback. Nine months later the team won the “Team of the Year” awarded by
management and staff of the organisation.

Our Approach to Adult Learning
The Performance Diagnostics and Performance Accelerator Strategies
dta WORLDWIDE offers have been designed with contemporary adult learning
theory in mind.
Tertiary qualified designers with many years of experience in our industry
work closely together with our consultants. Together they ensure that what
gets implemented links to the client organisation goals and what people learn
is transferred to the job.
We recognise that people learn in different ways and that both affective as
well as intellectual involvement needs to take place for learning to take hold.
Our Learning Philosophy is based on the principle that 'Inquiry Learning' (i.e.
stimulating the inquiring mind of the learner), combined with “Experiential
Discovery” is a most effective way of learning new skills that get transferred
directly to the job performance. Therefore we:
challenge assumptions
stimulate discussion
engage learners in experiences
present models and constructs to stretch the intellect
encourage practice the skills in safe situations
reinforce transference of skills to the job
