Many years ago, in what now seems like another life, I was a ski instructor.  It was actually what first got me interested in coaching and training – and the theory and practice of how people learn and develop.  And many of the things I learned then still prove useful, long after I last led a group of nervous first-week beginners down a snowy slope.

During our training, we were taught mountain rescue techniques and the basics of emergency medicine.  It was there that I first learned the concept of triage, the system of prioritising accident victims according to their likelihood of survival.  It struck me then that triage had wider applications, and it’s been a theme throughout much of the personal and organisational development work I’ve done ever since.

To find out exactly how a simple system used by paramedics and A&E nurses across the world, which I first tried on a gale-swept hillside in the Cairngorms, helps companies and organisations make complex decisions about change and strategy – you’ll have to give us a call.  We’ll gladly talk to you about triage, and all our other training offers.

And I promise not to tell you to bend your knees.
