"The TakeAway Training Film Series" comprises short, practical training films providing managers, supervisors and staff with techniques, advice and ideas on some of the key areas of their job. The series which features 'talking head discussion' between psychologists Eve Ash and Peter Quarry, is designed for learning resource centres and management self-development. When the first titles in the series appeared, "People Management Journal" said: '...one of the main selling points is that they firmly place responsibility for learning with the learner...They could be used either as stand-alone distance learning tools or as part of a training session. I am sure that any viewer will be able to take up their basic principles and apply them'. Organizations are becoming more interested in innovation and creativity, but how do we foster these practices? Psychologist Peter Quarry interviews Yvonne Adele, and investigates practical ways to help your staff access their creative thinking, including: what is innovation; defining the business challenge; and, creative brainstorming exercises.
Psychologists Eve Ash and Peter Quarry established Ash Quarry Productions with a clear vision to produce world-class training videos and training packages for the corporate market. Their extensive range of business training programs has won numerous prestigious awards.
