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

irrespective of our personalities and personal preferences. Where and how we

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.

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. Throughout the course we explore tools and techniques for fostering individual and group 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.

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.

forms the basis of other-awareness and as such is key to interpersonal
effectiveness. This course will help you to improve your self-awareness which can
lead to breakthrough personal changes.
