Experiential Based Training and Development (EBTD), often conducted on an adventure course or using games and initiatives, facilitates experiences that highlight critical factors in personal and team effectiveness and offers opportunities to practice more productive attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Our outcomes show that EBTD achieves learning and insights that are not always possible in a lecture format. EBTD is particularly effective for:

• Team Building
• Leadership Development
• Valuing Diversity
• Enhancing Motivation and Accountability
• Reinforcing Specific Learning Concepts

"There were several times that we were personally challenged and felt we had hit our limit, but kept going for the good of the team. We all came with different expectations, and left feeling that we had accomplished more than we thought we could."     - Susan Franz, VP, Premier Client Group, Emprise Bank

What Sets Us Apart

"It’s not about the equipment; it’s about how you use it." - Karl Rohnke
Our adventure programming is distinguished by the quality of the facilitators and because we measure results. Most adventure programs promise an adrenaline rush or a mountaintop experience. But if you want lasting impact, attention to your goals, and demonstrated results, then Process Solutions is the right choice. Our facilitators are master’s level behavioral health specialists as well as certified and experienced in experiential education. Facilitators receive ongoing consultation and group supervision, are trained in a variety of other Process Solutions tools, and work with both clinical and non-clinical clients in order to assure maximum flexibility and breadth of experience. To measure results, we use our nationally recognized outcomes tool, the Perceived Competence of Functioning Inventory (PCFI©).

Choosing an Experience That’s Right for You

We do not use a “one-size fits all” approach. The best experience involves the careful matching of activities to address specific group dynamics, goals, organizational context, and long-term plans for growth. Although we offer some proven packages that yield tangible results, the most effective experiences are those that have taken shape in conversation with you.

Meeting Your Needs and Maximizing Learning

Our research and experience have shown that the best learning experiences incorporate a variety of learning styles, and that a combination of services and tools yields the best results. For example, we have demonstrated that pairing EBTD with the Experiencing Excellence Seminar achieves outcomes that exceed either one alone. We will work with you to develop a package that best fits your needs and goals.

“… our objective was to solve friction between personalities in our group. The personality tests helped us better understand how we each react to stress and helped us prioritize things.” - Mack Jarrett, Controller, Harris Enterprises

The Importance of Outcomes: Making Ah Ha Last!

“We’ve seen long-term results. People are not as afraid to try new approaches or shoot for a higher goal.” - Bill Burgess, President, Lodging Enterprises

Assessing effectiveness is more than just customer satisfaction. Clients want lasting results. They want to see lasting change in attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. With the Perceived Competence of Functioning Inventory (PCFI©) we measure the self-beliefs that influence whether a person’s potential will come to life in real-world life conditions. We can then work with you to sustain and amplify these positive changes.

All clients can obtain a comprehensive outcomes report that explains the impact of the program, how it relates to team goals, and includes recommendations for follow-up.

For adventure programs wishing to integrate outcomes into their program, Process Solutions offers Site Certification for Outcomes, which trains your facilitators and staff in the use of our outcomes tools.
