NVNT the future

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.

    

If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near  – Jack Welch

    Change Leadership in a VUCA World

    Change Leadership

     ILM level 5 Award in Leadership & Management


    Objective / Blurb


    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.
