About Us
We are delighted to have this opportunity to introduce MTa International. Established in 1982, we have developed a reputation as a world leader in activity based learning.
Initially our specialist areas were leadership and team working, but now our expertise encompasses assessment and lean manufacturing processes and most aspects of 'soft skills development' for adults and children from age 8.
Aim:
Our aim is to improve business performance through people development.
Our Business:
There are two distinct but closely related arms to our business:
- We offer consultancy in our specialist areas and personal coaching for MD's and senior managers
- We design, develop and sellactivity based training and assessment materials, and advise in their effective use.
Our Approach:
We believe that people learn more and subsequently use their learning if they:
- want to learn
- are actively involved
- identify areas for personal improvement for themselves
- can see personal benefits in applying their learning in daily life
- develop their own strategies for improvement
- receive appropriate encouragement and support
- enjoy and are stimulated by the learning process.
Therefore all our materials are based on the same experiential principles.
The Learning Process:
Although activity based, our approach appeals to a wide range of learning styles. Learning is achieved through:
- thinking: individual, one to one and group reflection
- discussion: sharing and challenging ideas within facilitated groups
- experimentation: trying out new approaches and assessing their impact
TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT MATERIALS:
Topics Covered:
The topics our materials address include:
- leadership and teamwork skills: e.g. planning, critical and creative thinking, decision making, communicating, sensitivity, valuing and capitalising on diversity, change.
- making the most of business opportunities and resources: e.g. fundamentals of business, lean manufacturing, customer focus
- personal attitudes towards others:
- working effectively with colleagues, customers, and suppliers
- living alongside other people no matter what their background, interests or abilities
- personal impact.
