Training Programmes

In MFA we believe, based on the past 20 years of working with different organisations, that capability needs vary depending on the role the person plays within the organisation. With this in mind we have developed a range of training programmes in Sustainability, targeted at satisfying the differing needs of various groups within organisations, to stretch the company vision from “current practice to best practice”  

The Managing Director/CEO/Executive Team- The leaders /direction setters at the top

Executive Sustainability Session ½ day workshop to help align the understanding of sustainability as it applies to organisations and to define the process of implementation. We will:
Plan: We will work with you to plan and customise the session to maximise the sustainable benefits for your organisation.
Facilitate: We will manage the process to uncover insights that will influence the organisations approach to sustainability.
Develop: We will develop a sustainability plan to augment your current business model.  

The Sustainable Champion – The drivers who can and do make things happen.

The 1.5 day Sustainably Champion programme is designed to awaken the spirit of sustainability within organisations, identify the skills required to build a process “greening” and give participants practical techniques and tools to begin the process within their organisations.

Before partaking in this programme the participants will be facilitated to complete a Sustainability Organisation Audit. This assessment will enable participants to identify to what extent current activities can be changed to make contribute to the competitiveness of the organisation.

The results will be correlated by the programme tutor, prior to the programme, to focus aspects of the programme to ensure individual participants receive targeted inputs. The output from the programme will be a Strategic Green Action Plan for each organisation.

The tutor will visit each participant for half a day in their organisation to conduct in-company mentoring to reinforce the Strategic Green Action Plan to enhance the implementation of a sustainable strategy.

The Changers- Those tasked with continuous resource /business process improvement

This 2 day activity based programme focuses on giving people the skills, knowledge and attitudes for more flexible thinking and creative techniques to search for sustainable improvements that yield parallel economic benefits. It will stimulate innovation and creativity in the search for new ways of doing things not only within the within the organisation’s existing boundaries but will examine both the upstream and downstream activities.

The format is flexible - programmes are often customised to address the unique issues facing cross-functional teams, divisions, function or business units, or groups of individuals from different organizations. Case Studies are used to illustrate fundamental theories and applications.

The programme is conducted on two separate days to facilitate participants implement learning within their organisations, with feedback from tutors, after day one. The second day focuses on more in-depth modules to prepare participants to develop and implement an organisation wide eco efficiency improvement programme.
