New Tactics offers a variety of training workshops in the Strategic Effectiveness Method to meet differing needs. They are described below from the shortest to the longest. We also offer the opportunity to train individuals to become Strategic Effectiveness facilitators for their organization or network, which includes extended on-the-job mentoring.
All workshops are designed for one trainer and a small group of participants for maximum participation and effective interactions. The Half-Day Introductory Workshop is delivered in a “hands-on” case study format and therefore has no restrictions on the number of participants. For further information including costs for larger groups or to schedule a workshop, please contact Noor Zada at newtactics@cvt.org.
