Announcing The Newkirk Group Professional Analyst Studies Program
"We make a difference where a difference needs to be made." - Ray Newkirk
The 21st Century Challenge
The pressing challenge for corporate leaders is to offer life-long learning opportunities to their organizations that focus on management practice and softskills proficiency.
A gap in education exists which demands practice-based programs that immediately benefit leaders across all industries and disciplines. Leaders need something new that differs from other training programs which require years to transfer learning into practice. This trend is fueled by both softskills complexity and the magnitude of the problems faced by corporate training departments.
"What you learn today, you can use today," is our driving principle. We have formed programs from the unique content flowing from the rich global consulting and training experience of our Group. Our mission emphasizes the need to leverage the consulting experience of our consulting spcialists by offering action-based programs especially designed to enhance softskills performance.
Approach to Learning Based on Practice
We move from consulting practice to content and then from learning to application. The Newkirk Group sponsors seminars, workshops, and courses to link theory with practice and empower the manatery of new paradigms in business.
Softskills-Focused
The terms hardskills and softskills are paradoxical. They should be reversed. Why is it that hardskills are less challenging to master than the softskills? Usually because they have more to do with things than people. Things are easy, people are difficult. Since we focus on people, not things, we excel at enabling others to master the soft side of the workplace, the people side, through the mastery of professional softskills.
Departing from other cnsulting, training and education companies, The Nedwkirk Group's virtual-learning architecture focuses on softskills development. We are "softskills-focused" to make a difference where a difference needs to be made.
Commitment to Professional Analysts and Leadership Skills
Through our many years of consulting experience, we have found that a gap exists between campuses and the workplace in the development of professional skills and core competencies including: managing self, communicating, managing people and tasks, and mobilizing innovation and change. Unfortunately, these competencies have become echoes of the past as schools and colleges focus on disciplinary or specialized learning while mostly ignoring the core competencies required for success in the workplace. The Newkirk Group reverses this slide to mediocrity.
Intellectual Capital Development Services
We recognize that the need to make the shift from the 20th to the 21st Century is becoming more immediate as the trend toward global and more complex work teams increases. We have developed softskills-based programs and courses that promote the development of innovative thinkers and leaders as professionals in the postmodern world marked by globalization and offshoring.
Professional Development and Virtual-Learning
In previous years, people accepted two factors as the criteria for professional success: (1) the ability to plan, organize, control, and allocate the resources entrusted by senior management, and (2) the ability to gain recognition and acknowledgment from senior management for any success achieved. In such an environment, people often equated success with luck.
Today, a dramatic revolution has altered our understanding of what one must do to be a successful professional. The Newkirk Group response to this dynamic revolution in wisdom leverages the power of virtual-learning to bring continuing education to anyone anywhere who has access to the convenience of the Internet.
Our Virtual-Learning Center reintroduces knowledge and skills that were previously known to simplify work-life but have been lost in the in the quest for technological leverage. Offering learning programs to expand the task knowledge and softskills of clients, our Virtual-Learning Center emphasizes that knowing what to do is more than half the battle in reducing work complexity. The right knowledge does make life easier.
Life-Long Learning
Again and again, we have found that accomplished individuals have a hunger for learning that never diminishes. Whether it be in the field of problem solving, softskills enhancement, or pure knowledge acquisition, successful individuals continually seek to sharpen their intellects. For these individuals, competence is not an insult, it is the intimate attribute of their life. Through our Virtual-Learning Center, we offer life-long learning opportunities designed to enhance the softskills of clients. Our programs are more practical than theoretical and focus on doing.
