About Aristotle Solutions, Inc.

Here is some general information about Aristotle Solutions - a performance development company - who we are partnering with and why our clients continue to invest in their workforce through us.  We are keenly aware that each organization or company is unique - even within similar industries - so our preferred process for working with clients and potential clients is through brief meetings and open dialogue.  To meet with us in person or by phone please contact us at: rayrodriguez@aristotle-solutions.com

What primarily sets us apart from ‘mainstream’ corporate training vendors and consultants is our commitment to relevancy for our participants and the facilitation methodology we employ.

• Relevancy for participants

Our programs have been designed for and with our clients with one goal in mind:  design reality-based performance modules for the people we train that focus on the situations most critical to their (and the company’s) success.  By doing this we achieve two unique objectives that create the majority of Aristotle’s value to our clients:

1.       Participants are fully engaged and interested

2.       The organization sees their investment pay off immediately through immediate positive skill growth

• Facilitation methodology

Our feedback evaluations and client responses consistently show that we create an atmosphere of excitement that is both challenging and engaging for even the most gifted participants.  A true facilitator should serve as both a subject matter expert and a guide for skill growth through intensive practice and coaching.  Our entire team is committed to true facilitation excellence!

Great first step

Something we often do is have a 'performance development strategy meeting' with a sample population (and leadership) from your organization.  This two hour (maximum) meeting is useful for identifying needs through group discussion and customizing potential curriculum.   This experience will also give you and your team a chance to see how well we can engage your people and the facilitation style we just described.  In other words, you get to experience some real ‘training’ as well as gather valuable information from your key employees.  How much?  Aristotle Solutions absorbs the investment for this meeting.
