SET UP YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR SUCCESS!
LEARN TO ADAPT AND NAVIGATE RELENTLESS CHANGE.

SIGN-UP FOR WORKFORCE AGILITY ACTIVATION PROGRAMS [W2AP].

The time has come for both workforce and management to reskill and retool.  Unprecedented change the world over is certainly a major driving force here. Organizational strategies and reviews are shifting from long term to more iterative approach. Innovation and critical thinking is now a toast of the shop floor as opposed to the era where same was domiciled in the top management. Organizational structures are becoming more fluid and flexible, a departure from the widespread hierarchical and bureaucratic system. Leadership is becoming less of command and control and gradually shifting to mentoring and coaching approaches, fostering in the process innovative cultures amongst other benefits.
In order to rise to emerging change; to quickly identity and respond to emerging opportunities; to win and to thrive as opposed to being victims of relentless change, businesses and organizations must begin to think and act differently. New thinking brings about new behaviours.
In an era where underdogs emerge without warning and technological disruptions are the order of the day, we want to join with you in your quest to set up your team for success this year and beyond – starting from where it matters most – Mind-Set. We understand human behaviour and motivation. We’ve helped organizations shift mindsets and win regardless of the times, now its your turn!

Leadership Agility for a New World of Work

Course Description

The demands of modern leadership are very different from those most organizations are used to. Leadership that will produce and live up to the demands of innovation, flexibility, creativity and results for the new world of work has to play by a different set of rules. It is important therefore for leaders to understand what they must do differently in order to make meaningful impact in their roles. Without a doubt, the real impact of globalization, technology, changing demographics and other disruptors on work, worker and workplace is truly and deeply significant. Not acknowledging these disruptors much less determining how to rise to the occasion for change would have serious and long-lasting negative consequences. See Details to find out more.
Target Audience: Supervisors, Mid-Level Leadership, Interested Top-Level Management

Grit & Growth Mindset

Course Description

The rate of change in the world today is unprecedented. These changes are driving aggressively, digital transformations agendas, development of new business models and whole new consumer behaviors and preferences. These disruptions are indeed compelling organizational evolutions in diverse shapes and forms. More importantly, they are driving the need for a different kind of workforce, a workforce that is innovative, solutions focused and resilient. Why? Because navigating layers of disruptions would require a posture of grit and resilience; an orientation and a readiness to grow; to sense and seize opportunities regardless of the shape or form in which they may present themselves. Having a Grit and Growth mindset means that individuals and organizations are able to rise above - even use as 'fuel', the challenges presented by the changing business landscape as opposed to shrinking away and excusing themselves from it. It means seeing the business and associated challenges from a whole new perspective; being comfortable with ambiguity and having the stamina to drive relentless change that truly impacts and transforms both the organization, the people and the customer.

Digital Agility: Leveraging Digital for Business Impact

Course Description

There's no use competing against AI or resisting the disruptive technological tide. Such effort didn’t yield much for those in the first industrial era who resisted and physically attached creators of the steam engine phenomenon an innovation that changed the then world forever.

Since AI would most likely open up other job opportunities than we currently have today, it is important that people within enterprises change their posture to learning and to improvement.

We do not want to become victims of technological disruption. We can position rather to become nimble, gain agility, adaptability and grow new competences that can make you win in the emerging world of work.

Graduate & Management Trainee Agility Activator Program

Course Description

Getting organizations to be ‘fit for purpose’ and ready for future challenges has never been more important than it is today. To stay relevant and as we continue to see, new skills will be required.

According to Mckinsey, 90% of organizations believe they have skill gaps critical for functioning in a disruptive era but only 16% believe that they are fully prepared to fill those gaps. Whilst organizations have made laudable progress in bridging knowledge, attitude and skill gaps especially for new entrants and emerging leaders in the past decades, it is clear that a whole lot more needs to be done in positioning today's workforce in being responsive, adaptive and agile in the face of a disruptive environment.

In the light of the above therefore, business leaders need ensure that their learning and development spend feeds directly to ever evolving strategic directions and objectives of their organizations.

The GRADUATE & MANAGEMENT TRAINEE AGILITY ACTIVATOR PROGRAM has been carefully designed to deliver the most critical adaptive skills essential to winning in today's business environment for both graduate and management training participants.
