NAB – Case Study

NAB is a financial services organisation with over 12 million customers and 50,000 staff. The NAB Collections High Potential Program accelerates training for managers identified as future leaders in the organisation. A training program was required to learn communication skills and integrate them practically in an engaging way.

Objectives of the program:

Melbourne Playback’s approach

A tailor-made half-day training program included simulations to:

• Manage first impressions and image
• Know the audience – adapt message to suit the context
• Choose appropriate forums and modes for communication
• Understand what happens in a listener’s mind
• Pitch a message – communicate with persuasion
• Read body language to see how your message is being received

To integrate the skills learnt during the training, a forum to further explore practical solutions to common communication challenges.

“The theatrical retelling of the story was really powerful, I found the message spoke volumes over the verbal message.”
