Our team has decades of experience

Development Action thinks that good professional development is:

• interactive, with a mixture of learning and "doing"

• not limited to training

• appropriate for your needs, either as an individual, team or organisation

• challenging; it should push your boundaries

• tuned to your working realities and can be immediately applied to your work

Great quality, great flexibility

The Development Action team does its very best to create learning events that are both accessible and good value.

• Group learning events: structured, led by knowledgeable facilitators and focused on the needs of not-for-profits operating in New Zealand and overseas as well as public sector business units.  

• In-house and targeted learning: perfect for addressing the specific learning needs of a staff member, team or board. We can work with you to design a session that suits your needs perfectly.

• Partner capacity building: our collective experience spans the globe, from Canada to South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Pacific. We can work with your partner organisations in New Zealand or overseas to help plug skills gaps, negotiate agreements like MOUs, and lay the foundations for a sustainable and fruitful relationship.
