“The ability to make people ‘feel’ anything is the only important skill to cultivate”

 

(Anon, but true nonetheless)

 

Why Impact Factory?

Act 1

Impact Factory has been a key provider of communication skills development in the corporate arena for 20 years. In partnering with Drama Based Solutions (DBS) we now present what we believe to be, a world-beating 21st Century L&D solution to your organisation’s future soft skills challenges, financially and logistically.

 

(DBS) is dedicated to creating high impact, value for money interactive interventions, utilising the skills and experience of a stable of internally-trained actors/facilitators.  Each professional role player has been picked for their previous experience in the corporate world including financial, manufacturing, government, retail, IT, education and a whole host of other markets.

 

By creating a range of ‘dramatic’ interventions we guarantee to hit the target every time, using the ancient and modern tools of theatre. Tools in place since stories were first performed, enthralling, engaging, entertaining and stimulating crowds in the Amphitheatres of ancient Greece.

 

Pathos and humour are the munitions and our expert actors are the twin barrels that will hit the target every time.

 

OK enough of the advert… What specifically can we offer solutions to?

 

Act 2

 

Everything... that involves the effective use of communication between your people to get the job done… Everything!

 

 

  • Customer service
  • Change
  • Personal Impact
  • Negotiation
  • Teamwork
  • Respect
  • Diversity
  • Intercultural team issues
  • Leadership
  • Risk and Trust
  • Networking
  • Assertiveness
  • Interview skills
  • Interviewing skills
  • Assessment centres
  • Competencies
  • Difficult messages
  • Presentation skills
  • Stress Management
  • Silo mentality……….. and on and on and on

 

 

Don’t be mistaken into thinking that the use of professional role-players and drama in business is either fanciful or irrelevant.  DBS is not about ‘performance’, if so we would be a theatre company… we’re not, never have and never will be.

 

In conjunction with Impact Factory, our deep roots are in corporate L&D, and will remain so for the life of our business for many years to come.

 

Our joint historical expertise and mission to design bespoke tailored programmes is now elevated by our ability to offer the broadest range of soft skills L&D solutions in the UK, Europe and possibly the world.

 

 

Act 3

 

 

The Players

 

All our actors are trained in Impact Factory techniques and processes, backgrounds in business and able to facilitate group feedback. You might be surprised at how many ‘corporate people’ turn to drama and in turn, return to the corporate world through ‘Forum’ based work.

 

The usual ‘Forum Theatre’ format is that a minimum of two actors are led by a facilitator working a two to three hour session.  Normally we will have worked with the client to create some ‘back pocket’ scenarios to kick the session off.

 

As we continue to work with the audience, we will elicit situations from them to make the session directly relevant to them and their actual challenges.

 

However there are several other options as listed above, which due to their bespoke nature, would be priced on an individual basis.
