Training’s Curse? Get rid of the “Cut costs here!” training curse.
Tired of being the go-to-place management heads to cut costs? Your department can gain recognition, rewards and influence by becoming thinking process experts. There is one missing job performance skill holding you and your HRD team back when it comes to making a difference with internal customers, and getting the recognition you deserve. That’s thinking facilitation. Thinking facilitation can increase the HRD team’s perceived value overnight (almost!) Make certainty and clarity something you can deliver to EVERYONE! The need is there waiting to be filled. That’s job security and a great opportunity for you in terms of massive job satisfaction, too.
Become A Trusted Advisor.
Your job transformation from a ‘training administrator’ to ‘trusted advisor’ can be achieved surprisingly easily. Just providing a list of training classes in a catalogue has never sufficed for job security or influence. Learn how to win the respect and confidence of your internal customers and become a valued resource to your management.
If you have joined the revolution in Human Resource Development, you’ve seen expectations change from managing a training function to playing a role in helping units make lasting and significant organizational change. Now you’ve got a place at the table with the operational units and the good news is they need your help! The really good news is that breaking out of the training boutique mode can create an important, successful, secure and satisfying career complete with better financial security.
You can gain an edge; one that will give you CONFIDENCE and PEACE OF MIND – the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re helping others. Imagine being able to walk into any meeting with the confidence and poise needed to facilitate the team to thinking in a fresh and powerful way. You can become the THINKING PROCESSS CONSULTANT not just the expert of the training list. BPI has conducted Critical Thinking workshops successfully for many of the world’s best companies including: Merck, Johnson & Johnson, Chrysler, GM, Daimler Truck, Solar Turbine, eBay, Bank of Tokyo, Union Bank, Mutual of Omaha, Genzyme, IBM and many more.
