		An active learning environment
		The use of FUN Tools
		Superior results in terms of comprehension, retention and application.

The FUN model is detailed in Dr. Palan's book: “The Magic of Making Training FUN!!”

The GURU - SISHYA Approach

Prof. Kirkpatrick and Dr. Palan are working on this ancient learning model which has its roots in India. This ancient Indian system imparts learning through what may be seen as a one-on-one master-student relationship. In today's terms it is a form of enlightened mentoring and counselling approach.

The ADDIE Model

The ADDIE instructional model has five stages:


		Analysing Training Needs
		Designing Training
		Delivering Training
		Implementing Training
		Evaluating Training

The model has long been used to design and deliver effective learning. SMR has creatively modified it to support adult learning better.

This model supports our Train The Trainer Workshops

PALAN'S Performance Management Model

SMR views training as one of the impact factors affecting performance, as discussed in Dr. Palan’s book: “Performance Management & Measurement: The Asian Context”. According to the model, performance management depends on:

	developing a strategy,
	planning for performance,
	fixing accountability, and
	measuring performance.
	Evaluating Training

The role of training is integral to performance management to ensure that an organisation has all the knowledge and skills required for meeting its performance goals.

HRDPower Competency Model

This model is used extensively in HRDPower, our Human Resources Development software. The underlying principle is that training can be addressed to needs identified as ‘competency gaps,’ i.e., the gaps between Required Competency Levels (related to a position) and Current Competency Levels (related to a job-holder).

This model is used in our Accredited Competency Professional
