Why the The Art of Feedback training in the canton of Vaud
The canton of Vaud combines universities (EPFL, UNIL), medtech, headquarters of food groups on the Riviera and a dense network of SMEs. Fast-growing scale-ups sit next to established organisations in transformation.
In a medtech scale-up or a group headquarters on the Riviera, feedback is often avoided or delivered too late: structuring the message and creating trust turns it into a lever for progress.
On-site organisation: Sessions in Lausanne, Vevey, Montreux or on your site; residential formats possible by Lake Geneva for leadership teams.
In the canton of Vaud, the pursuit of harmony and discretion can make feedback difficult: people avoid pointing out what's wrong, and problems then accumulate. Conversely, overly blunt feedback can hurt highly committed teams.
The Art of Feedback programme in the canton of Vaud teaches how to give precise, useful and respectful feedback, and how to receive it from others.
The challenges of feedback in the canton of Vaud
- Saying what needs to be said without causing offence.
- Giving feedback to experts or peers.
- Making feedback part of daily life, not just the annual review.
- Receiving criticism without becoming defensive.
The programme in 6 modules
- Why feedback often fails.Explore the Vaud-specific mechanisms that hinder constructive dialogue, from reluctance to voice disagreement within multidisciplinary teams to the impact on project effectiveness.
- Observing facts rather than making judgements.Develop neutral observation of workplace situations, for example in a Lausanne public service, to formulate feedback based on concrete, objective facts, without subjective interpretation.
- Positive feedback that reinforces.Learn to highlight successes and individual or collective contributions, strengthening engagement and motivation within Romandy SMEs or major watchmaking companies.
- Corrective feedback that drives progress.Master the art of giving constructive criticism, targeting behaviour rather than the person, to guide colleagues towards continuous improvement, for example in innovative start-ups in the Lake Geneva basin.
- Asking for and receiving feedback.Acquire techniques for actively seeking feedback and receiving it calmly, turning every exchange into an opportunity for personal and professional development within Vaud institutions.
- Making feedback a habit within a Vaud team.Integrate feedback as a pillar of everyday communication within your Vaud organisation, developing an open, supportive exchange culture essential for performance and wellbeing.
What the the Art of Feedback Training in the canton of Vaud programme covers
The the Art of Feedback Training in the canton of Vaud programme is designed for managers, executives and key contributors who want to turn the art of feedback into everyday practice. Content is built around real situations from your organisation rather than generic case studies, so that each session connects directly with the decisions your teams face in the canton of Vaud.
Core themes typically include: Feedback structuré; Climat de confiance; Développement continu. Each theme is adapted after a scoping conversation with your HR team and the sponsoring manager, so that the programme addresses the gaps you actually observe.
A method grounded in research and practice
Our approach combines short theoretical inputs drawn from peer-reviewed research, practical exercises, role plays and structured feedback. Participants work on their own cases, test new behaviours in a safe setting and leave with concrete commitments they can apply the following week.
Between sessions, short assignments help anchor what has been learned. A follow-up review a few weeks later measures what has changed in practice and identifies where further support is useful.
