Lunch & Learn: Train Your Teams Without Blocking Their Schedule
Your teams don't have time for a 2-day course? Discover the format that changes everything: effective, hands-on, without losing a full day.
"We don't have time for a 2-day training course." That's the line we hear most often. And we agree. Blocking an entire team for 48 hours is expensive, logistically complicated, and often counterproductive.
Here's the real problem: studies show that we forget 70% of training content within 24 hours if we don't put it into practice immediately. Two days of classroom theory is a lot of investment for very little retention. There's a better approach.
Did you know?
We forget 70% of training content within 24 hours if we don't put it into practice immediately. Short, hands-on formats like lunch & learns dramatically improve retention.
Why Traditional Training Doesn't Work
Too long. Participants zone out after 90 minutes of continuous theory. Attention drops, phones come out, minds wander. And you can't blame them.
Too theoretical. Slides for hours on end, with no immediate hands-on practice. The brain doesn't retain what it doesn't apply. That's neuroscience, not opinion.
Disconnected from reality. Generic textbook cases instead of scenarios drawn from your teams' daily work. Your employees don't see themselves in the examples and disengage.
Our approach is different: 70% practice, 20% exchange, 10% theory. And formats that adapt to your rhythm, not the other way around. Here's how.
Our 4 Formats That Work
Lunch & learn (1h). During the lunch break, one focused topic, hands-on exercises. Ideal for raising awareness across an entire team without impacting productivity. Examples: spotting a phishing attempt, using AI safely, understanding your GDPR obligations. We bring the content, you bring the sandwiches.
Half-day (3h). A deep dive on a specific subject with immediate hands-on practice. Perfect for technical teams or managers who want to upskill fast. Examples: advanced prompt engineering, basic security audit, EU AI Act compliance. This is the format our clients request most.
Team building (full day). Team exercises, attack simulations, solving real cases in groups. This format strengthens cohesion AND skills at the same time. Ideal for executive committees or IT teams looking to build a security culture.
Conference (1h30). An inspiring keynote followed by an interactive Q&A. The perfect format to launch an AI or cyber initiative in your organisation. Engages up to 200 people in a single session and creates the momentum needed to drive change.
Every format is adaptable to your context, your tools, and your industry. We work with Walloon SMEs, Brussels-based scale-ups, and Flemish enterprises. Explore our full catalogue and choose the format that suits you.
