What
modules are included? |
Technical professionals ...
... information systems people, engineers, financial analysts ...
... receive excellent technical
training. However, their interpersonal
and group management competencies
cannot really be properly developed
until they have on-the-job experience
that puts them in the position of needing them. Their university
level courses in organization behavior do not really prepare them
for the realities of managing individuals and teams. This program
fills that gap.
The program consists of a set of modules that can be delivered
independently or as a full multi-day program. Each modules involves
role-plays and "doing exercises" so that participants
move to "know how"
and "back on the job"
competencies, not just conceptual "know that" Every effort
is made to set this practical work
in the day to day working
context of the participants. .
Two of the modules use modules use self-descriptive
instruments to give participants
increased self awareness and set the base for increasing
their applied capabilities.
WCI will work with clients to adapt
this program to specific needs,
either modifying the modules or creating new ones as required.
