SYDNEY, Mar 26, 2008 - Following an intensive selection process The Synergy Group has been chosen as the preferred Learning Partner to one of Australia’s leading Banks.

 

Synergy will be delivering the bank’s Business Effectiveness Suite: A development curriculum which equips banking professionals with the strategies, processes, and skills to transform individual and team effectiveness.

 

The customised series of modules are designed to help participants understand meeting and business etiquette and to develop their personal impact, business writing and time management skills. The program will support the career development pathway for staff of all levels from Graduate up to Executive level. 

 

The face-to-face training programs include:

 

·           Business Writing Essentials

·           Creating Impact

·           Time Management – incorporating Microsoft Outlook 

 

The program has been co-branded by both parties, and development of the format and content has been a collaborative process between the bank and Synergy. Utilising the capability of the Synergy Learning Portal and Synergy’s training infrastructure, the program will be deployed globally.

 

The bank is a diversified international provider of banking, financial, advisory and investment services. As it expands its operations overseas it has consulted with Synergy to support the skills development of its business in the United States and Europe.

 

Mike Almond, Synergy Key Account Director, commented on the roll-out: “The client implemented a rigourous selection process. They wanted to have complete confidence in all aspects of our operations; from the calibre of our instructional designers and facilitators to the speed and efficiency of our deployment team. Now that we have earned the right to be their learning partner we are being consulted upon to support a variety of business challenges”.
