Lunch and Learn

Q: How many participants does an ExecutiveMind training program usually accommodate?

The ideal head count for any program ranges from 12–25 participants. Our favorite number of students is 17. At this size, a group can maintain a strong instructor-to-student ratio while engaging in lively interactions and group discussions.


Q: What value can a Lunch & Learn deliver?

Here at ExecutiveMind, we like to think of L &L as microlearning, a way of teaching and delivering content to learners in small, very specific bursts.
A 90-minute interval is usually broken up into three parts. In the first part, we present a concept to a group. During the second part of the Lunch and Learn we apply or practice the concept or technique. In the third part of the lesson, attendees teach the information back to the instructor, ensuring understanding and retention of the material.
Some popular topics for a Lunch & Learn include

 Return On Investment

Q: How does ExecutiveMind demonstrate the value of your training programs?

We use Kirkpatrick's Four-Level Training Evaluation Model:

  1. Did participants enjoy the training? We issue surveys to training participants and sponsors at every stage of our training process. We then carefully review the results at each stage, with a strong focus on NPS (net promoter score).
  2. What did the participants learn? To track progress against your learning objectives, we conduct surveys and interviews with participants to measure how well they comprehend the program’s lessons and subject matter.
  3. Did their behaviour change? To ensure our training programs result in a change in organizational mindset, we schedule a check-in with your team 30 days after the completion of a training program. During check-ins, we use surveys and interviews to track participants’ progress.
  4. Was there an impact on the business? After completion, we conduct interviews with your team’s training sponsors and executives to measure the business impact of new goals and initiatives that were defined during training.
