Ongoing Learning Support Environment

The platform for your Informal Learning strategy

For the Corporate market

“Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher.” (Japanese proverb)

As 90% of your learning actually takes place outside the formal training environment, it seems obvious that you should be encouraging your organisation to implement an OLSE and invest in your most valuable asset - your employees. By providing them with an OLSE to expand their knowledge and skills you strengthen your organisations capabilities and market position.  [find out more]

 

For the Coaching market

The place for your NEW LEARNING to consolidate through PRACTICE, ACTION, COLLABORATION and SUPPORT to transform your newly learned performance improvement skills into COMPETENT habits you use with CONFIDENCE.

You've attended a Personal or Professional Development Coaching programme and set your Goals.  You are motivated and ready to start working with your newly learned performance improvement skills.

 But...

• Where and when do you practice those skills?
• Who is going to proactively monitor your progress?
• Who will be there to support and encourage you to develop these performance improvement skills into competent habits used with confidence?

The place for Practice

Akonia CYCLE is the place for practice.  [find out more]

 

Interim Management

Interim management has emerged to become a leading alternative way to hire a manager with a particular type of expertise to work within your organisation for a limited amount of time.

Training Services

Interim management is most relevant when you have a short-term need for a particular type of expertise, in our case to lead and manage a training or education department or project:

• during a period of organisational change or transition
• while opening up a new market
• when acquiring and integrating a new subsidiary company
• to manage a one-off training project
• to fill a gap between a training manager's departure and recruiting a replacement

 As Interim managers we are contracted by you to you, and will always be working to achieve your business objectives.  Our priorities are your priorities.

Important Benefits

There are many important benefits to be gained from using an Interim manager  [read more]:

• Higher expertise that is cost effective.
• A closer relationship with you and better integration into your organisation.
• Providing better follow-through.
• Accepting greater responsibility and ownership.
