Wood Group Requests Custom Training from Baker Communications
Wood Group, a major international
energy services company, has asked that
Baker Communications
deliver several customized training
workshops for various segments of the
company. Company representatives had
previously attended a Baker
open-enrollment workshop and
subsequently requested customized
training content focusing on front-line
management leadership skills. Baker
designed and piloted their Front Line
Leadership Training seminar for select
Wood Group management teams. The company
was so pleased with the workshop that it
is now being rolled out to all
front-line managers, and Wood Group also
requested additional Finance for
Non-Financial Managers training. The
company also had a training need among
their purchasing teams, and Baker
customized a negotiations training
seminar to target the specific needs of
those working with suppliers. Baker will
also be providing management training
for graduate students participating in
Wood Group’s rotation program. In Baker,
Wood Group found a responsive, flexible,
client-oriented training partner with
the patience to obtain a deep
understanding of the company’s needs,
the capability and willingness to
customize its high-quality training
content to match those specific needs,
and a global reach that mitigated the
necessity of additional travel fees for
delivery of international sessions.
A Wood Group Vice-President wrote: “I
wanted to thank you and all involved at
Baker Communications for the excellent
training you presented… I have had
strong positive feedback from it, and
this probably puts it at the top of the
ratings list regarding training we have
put on in the past couple of years.”
Senior Level Baker Communications
Instructors and Negotiations, Leadership
and Finance Experts will deliver the
custom workshops to Wood Group staff in
Houston, Oklahoma City, and Aberdeen,
Scotland. Managers participating in the
Front-Line Leadership and Finance for
Non-Financial Managers training sessions
will learn and practice key leadership
skills such as delegation and
performance evaluation, which will lead
to better planning, improved feedback,
and more efficient and productive
departments. Managers will also gain a
basic understanding of corporate
financial structure and how to read
essential financial reports, enhancing
their big-picture understanding of the
company’s functioning and their own
roles within it. Purchasing staff
attending the Negotiation Skills for
Purchasing workshop will learn and
practice key negotiations skills such as
recognizing and neutralizing negotiation
tactics, de-escalating conflict, and
identifying and applying concession
strategies, to help ensure that their
negotiations are well planned,
conflict-free and result in satisfactory
outcomes for both parties.
