Many providers of leadership development have a toolkit of techniques and methods. Like most tools, these can be valuable. But to be effective, they need to be used as part of a coherent and comprehensive design for learning.

 

The LCS Academy's approach to learning design has been developed in response to questions such as the following, questions which many providers would struggle to find answers:

• Why do some apparently successful approaches to organisation and management development suddenly appear to fail?
• How should organisation and management development connect to an organisation's strategy?
• How important is it that managers should want change to happen?
• What is 'unlearning', and what does it tell us about successful change and competitive advantage?
• Should 'knowhow' be gained on the job only, like apprenticeship?
• Is outdoors development a waste of time and resources?
• How do you make 'learning' stick?
• Is 'lifelong learning' just another consultants' fad?
• Is learning about knowledge, about understanding, about need or about something else?
• Does everyone learn in the same way?
• How can organisations capitalise upon managerial learning as a source of sustainable competitive advantage?

 

From initial idea to thorough evaluation, the LCS Academy works with clients to ensure that what an assignment sets out to achieve is achieved.
