HRDQ - Great training materials

HRDQ has some of the highest quality training material available anywhere. What makes me like them so much?

1. The material is easy to use, with complete materials for the facilitator as well as the participant.
2. The facilitator guides give the information that the trainer needs to deliver a high quality workshop.
3. The assessments are very useful and well researched.
4. The pricing is reasonable.... not cheap, but a good value for the money.

My favorite HRDQ Training Programs:

Mars Surface Rover (facilitative leadership)
I have used this program several times. Teams compete by building toy cars from a jumble of tires, screws, motors, and rods. At the end, you race the cars to see who wins! But the task isn't just mechanical... the team learns the benefits of facilitative leadership, with trust, respect, open communication and productivity. This program, and other HRDQ programs, includes facilitator instructions including handouts, PowerPoints, and facilitator tips.

Jungle Escape (team skills)
This is a program that I have used at least 20 times! The problem to solve: you are stuck in the jungle with only a bunch of plastic pieces and you need to build a helicopter to escape... and the time is running out! The team that builds the perfect helicopter wins. Lots of fun and hands-on.

Team Effectiveness Profile
A good basic team assessment, based on research on what a team needs for success: Mission, Vision, and Goals; Team Roles; Operating Processes; Interpersonal Relationships; and Interteam Relationships.

Supervisory Skills Questionnaire
The Supervisory Skills Questionnaire is a comprehensive and practical assessment tool that helps supervisors to focus on the 5 most critical skills for effective supervision: Guiding the Work, Organizing the Work, Developing Your Staff, Managing Performance, and Managing Relations.

Conflict Strategies Inventory
Conflict Strategies Inventory gives participants valuable new insights into the strategies they use in conflict situations. Presented with 10 short cases of typical, work-related conflict, respondents choose the actions they are most likely to take.

Team Conflict Strategies Inventory
Sometimes team disagreements can become serious conflicts, threatening the productivity or even the life of the group. But if a team can use effective strategies for handling conflict, conflict may afford new learning and eventually deeper, more productive relationships."

Mastering the Change Curve
Recurring change is the norm in organizational life today. Still, most of us have difficulty dealing with it. To successfully master change, individuals must pass through 4 phases: Denial, Resistance, Exploration, and Commitment. Mastering the Change Curve uncovers individual reactions to change and provides an understanding of how behavior affects success.

Breakthrough Creativity Profile
The Breakthrough Creativity Profile is based on the personality research of Carl Jung. This assessment reveals one’s dominant and auxiliary preferences among the 8 creative talents and helps individuals define what is needed to achieve their creative best.
