I’ve worked with Mountain Pictures for half a year now, in six months we’ve managed to deliver 97 virtual learning experiences to over 3000 people leaders around the world. These are sessions that have come together often with not a lot of notice. On one occasion I gave Mountain Pictures three days notice to go live with a session to five different continents and nothing was too much trouble, it was a great learning experience and I was never burdened with the pressure or stress of that.

The team get what your outputs are. The keenness of the team to say ‘Right, what is it you want to achieve?’, and then them stepping up to the plate to actually come back and deliver it has been remarkable.

They’re continuously agile and flexible in their approach. Good is never good enough, they always want to be better at what they do but they always want to make sure that at the forefront of what they do is what you actually need. They start with your purpose, your end in mind, and they develop a solution that is tailored to what you’re asking for, what your end users need, and most importantly what you need to do your job really, really well.

A learning experience is very different and it requires a very different lens and approach, and Mountain Pictures really understand that. They can put themselves in the shoes of the learner and think about ‘How can my technology setup engage the learner in the session and take away what we need them to?’ And as a learning professional that’s gold dust, that you don’t have to explain that to the partner, it’s just there in the thinking ready to go, you can just focus on the learning.

They know exactly what they’re doing, they are experts in their field. And, actually, nothing is too much of an ask for these guys. They will make you feel confident, they’ll make you feel secure, they’ll do anything possible to make you feel relaxed in what’s essentially kind of quite a sterile environment.

You can trust their guidance. They won’t just agree with you, they’re not just ‘yes people’, they have a point of view and you need that because they are the experts in terms of virtual delivery.
