Lord Devon's Demise™
Mastering the Skills of Meeting Management
Lord Devon's Demise focuses on process management and communication. The programme introduces seven key principles for running an effective, results-focused meeting and presents a process to quickly gather, evaluate and organise information. The programme impacts team dynamics by highlighting the value of a leader, encouraging input from all individuals and demonstrating that shared understanding leads to enhanced productivity.
The Programme
As representatives of Scotland Yard, participants in Lord Devon's Demise work on a realistic crime scene investigation set at a grand English estate. The intense, information rich environment forces participants and teams to share, evaluate and organise an abundance of information in a short period of time using the tools provided. They have the opportunity to hone their abilities in a hectic fact-finding mission that challenges even the most organised and detailed investigator.
