    NVNT LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT


    For an organisation to survive its rate of learning must be at least equal to the rate of change in its external environment – Reg Revans 


    NVNT Learning and Development aims to improve group and individual performance by increasing and honing skills and knowledge. Having said that, as much as it is possible, NVNT endeavours to provide learning journeys which will result in holistic growth and development. ‘Journey’ emphasises exploration, discovery, variety, challenge, surprises, personal challenges, destiny and the natural unfolding of learning and personal growth. We believe that sustainable growth follows when we are involved in something constructive that touches us holistically; mind, heart, body and soul. Self-awareness, authenticity and personal responsibility are fundamental to successful learning processes and include both a person’s strengths and weaknesses.

    Furthermore, we believe strongly in the importance of vertical development. To use a metaphor, if traditional or horizontal development is about adding content to the cup, vertical development is about increasing the size of the cup. Specifically, it means working on developing the mindset, mental models and identity of the person. Ultimately, the learning process should result in learners becoming better leaders of themselves, others and change.

    Considering that NVNT’s core focus and interest is in the business ecosystem, our catalogue of learning journeys – as we continue to develop them – will include a broad variety of fields of knowledge, disciplines and functions.
    We trust you will find value and personal satisfaction as you participate in NVNT’s learning and development journeys.

Effective leadership in modern-day organisations

 

Objective

 

Principle-based leadership® teaches inside-out leadership. It entails personal and leadership development and generally enlightens and empowers people for the workplace. Often much more so than volume-based training curriculums or extensive business school teaching.

The Effective leadership in modern-day organisations ILM certificate course focuses on modern-day challenges in the world of work. The accelerated speed of change necessitates learning and development in all the areas of leading self, others and change. The learning journey will leverage participants' potential to be effective in a new world of work.  From a leading self-perspective, the course includes self-awareness and adaptability as two key aspects of navigating the often stormy waters of a changing and demanding work. 

Building relationships, decision making, leadership style and empowering others are the main focus areas from a leading others perspective in the new world of work. Within the ecosystems that we find ourselves today, our effectiveness is tied in with aspects such as trend and systems awareness, organisational awareness, strategic thinking, cultural awareness, technology awareness and creativity and innovation. 

The learning journey will answer the questions about how we can adapt and develop to effectively meet the demands of modern-day organisations. It takes a holistic and integrated approach to leadership in modern-day organisations.

Change Leadership

 

Objective


In a VUCA world, as we experience it today - volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous - the need for change leadership is pronounced. In this course we will focus on the leadership challenges in a time of exponential change. We aim to assist you in your development as a change leader with the ability to understand the impact of change on the workplace, the need to be innovative and to lead and manage teams for more effectiveness in meeting the goals and objectives of a growing 21st century work organisation.  

This course will equip you to respond effectively to the typical challenges of the new world of work. Most senior-level employees were trained and/or exposed to the thought patterns and behaviours typical of the management paradigm. In other words, they attempt to control and steer matters from the top down and assume superior knowledge and ability in comparison to staff in general. In recent decades it has become clear that the old thinking styles are counter-productive in a VUCA world. VUCA is an acronym for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous. 

In this course you will learn how to make the necessary changes in terms of your understanding of what needs to be done, your approaches to work, people and opportunities, your behaviours and application of  ability and skills.

Innovation is increasingly the source of sustainable competitive advantage for organisations around the world. However, building an organisation to successfully and repeatedly turn innovations to reality is a daunting managerial challenge. Whether in the public or private sector, organisations progressively need people that understand the innovation process and know how to manage creative professionals. Furthermore, it is also important to develop an organisational culture and climate that fosters innovation. This course focuses on creativity and innovation, examining the interplay between creativity, organisational processes and systems, and successful innovation.

We also look at management practices that foster (or inhibit) innovation, including methods for developing and evaluating ideas for new products and services. We also introduce principles and practices for managing innovation that will ultimately lead to new business models.

Number of Delegates

10 - 15


Business etiquette is a set of rules that govern the way people interact with one another in business; with customers, suppliers, with colleagues, with inside or outside bodies. It is all about conveying the right image and behaving in an appropriate way. Business etiquette consists of a set of general guidelines for manners and behaviour in a professional setting that allows professionals to feel comfortable and safe at work or in other professional settings. The ability, within a place of business, to present yourself such that you make others comfortable around you and are taken seriously, is known as business etiquette skill.  It is, in fact, the ability to meet the explicit as well as implicit standards or expectations of individual behaviour that are set in order to facilitate the interaction between people in the workplace and nurture a mutually respectful atmosphere. 

Business etiquette skills include but are not limited to showing courtesy and respect towards one’s co-workers and employers. Demonstrating the self-control required for a particular job, as well as expressing one’s knowledge of various business situations without treating others with condescension, is equally important for mastering the business etiquette skills. The aim of the course is to introduce and equip delegates with the necessary business etiquette skills that will empower them to putting their best foot forward and obtaining benefits such as, building healthy relationships, nurturing a harmonious environment and showing confidence.

Effective coaching and mentoring

 

Objective

 

In our online connected world, there is so much knowledge, information, research and analysis available to help us to become successful in what we hope to achieve. And yet, we see so seldom the real and lasting improvements we hope for. We know and understand the importance of being agile to meet today's challenges. We can imagine what agile organisations look like.  However, if people don't grow and change at a personal level, we will remain disappointed in our wishes and aspirations. 

The problem is that we can so easily over-estimate what we know, or think we know, and so easily under-estimate asking more and deeper questions for our collective learning and transformation. As Clayton Christensen said, without a good question, a good answer has no place to go. Without the question, the room where the positive change needs to happen first, remains closed. If we are not truly open and curious, suspending our judgement, the chances are slim that our attitudes and behaviours will change, no matter how good the answers are. 

Embrace the skill of good coaching and the heart of being a good mentor, and see how a new world of work and relationships can be realised.

In this ILM 5 Coaching and Mentoring course leadership principles are an integrated part of the learning journey. The rationale is that coaching and mentoring are key skills for leadership in our time.
