L&D AG Insurance
The goal of AG Insurance’s Trainee Programme
is to enable its trainees to further develop
some essential skills, as part of an onboarding
process.
Working on ‘self-awareness’ is a first important
theme. Trainees are expected to quickly and
autonomously generate added value within
diverse environments, which requires a solid
knowledge of your own functioning, and that
of others. AG Insurance wants to offer its trainees
basic knowledge of project management
and empower them in the fields of presenting,
convincing and influencing.
The second session on Project Management focused
on the different phases and key elements
of a successful project. With help of a professional
actor we specifically practised typical challenges
for project leaders.
During the ‘Pitching’ session, the participants
learned how to present their project in an
efficient though enthusiastic manner. They also
defined which resources they have to direct their
audience towards the right (re)action. ‘Storytelling’
helped the trainees to discover the
added value of a strong story in such a context.

A parallel objective of the project is to stimulate
connection between trainees and to create
a community in which people continuously
learn from each other in an informal setting.
Throughout the programme, participants are
asked to work on a concrete project. That creates
tangible learning environments, but it is
also an added value for the organisation, to be
challenged by the next generation.
Finally, two half-day projectlabs were set up,
during which the trainees further shaped and
managed their projects. During the final session
they summarised their own learnings in a personal
story and communicated on the status of
their pro-jects to coaches and managers.

After a starting session with a StreetwiZe Story,
a two-day seminar was organised on Agility &
Resilience. Inspired by these reflections and
based on Positive Focus and Proactive Creativity,
Reflection and project development on challenging issues
Community building within the group
Positioning & networking within the company
we then identified useful projects to
be shaped and started up throughout the programme.
