Learning through exposure

Reach out to your people – to benefit your business long term

Highly trained workers, all pulling in the same direction towards a common business vision – marry this with perfectly organized value chain processes and you have the foundations for the success of your enterprise. But systems optimized to perfection are no use if your staff has not been given the right training. The courses offered by the Ingenics Academy allow you to bring business systems into harmony with your people. Not only does this significantly boost your productivity as an enterprise, your people actually gain more satisfaction from their work. On top of this, your long-term competitiveness improves.

The guiding principle is a holistic approach: People and processes no longer stand in opposition, they intermesh – perfect interplay, adding value without waste. This is the concept behind lean business. Implemented properly, “lean” in your company can change paradigms, acting as a catalyst for highly efficient continuous improvement processes and, ultimately, safeguarding sustainable success.























For this all to work, your people need more than technical skills and specialist knowledge. They have to be willing and prepared to change. They have to believe in – and have the tools to achieve – the common goal. And our instructors instill this spirit and enthusiasm. We “produce” it through our approach to imparting knowledge and designing courses. When we share knowledge, we always couple it with tangible successes. Anchored in all of our training is an emphasis on everyday business practice, case studies, original exercises, role play, and detailed feedback from instructors. This not only creates understanding, it lodges learning firmly in the minds of your co-workers. This makes it easier down the road to implement changes within the business. At that point, if required, we can also provide support in the form of individual mentoring and coaching.

These are prerequisite for the Lean Operational Excellence, for the every-day focus on maximum value-adding. This is one of the reasons why the Ingenics Academy was certified as an educational institution according to the AZWV (Regulations for the Recognition and Approval for Further Education).

“All theory is grey. The effect of the didactic concept of learning through experience can be enhanced if the employees are trained directly at their own processes during in-house training sessions.”

AS EXPERIENCE SHOWS

As experience shows

As we know from over 2700 successful consulting projects since 1979, there is no guarantee to success in the medium to long term unless you look beyond the facts and reach out to people on the emotional level.
This insight forms the backbone of the training methods at the Ingenics Academy. Teaching content is augmented with supplementary stimulus such as practical exercises, group tasks, play, things that arouse curiosity, and key insights – interwoven in a meaningful way throughout the whole course.

Overall, this approach ensures that the training you give to staff also fosters team spirit and inspires people to apply their new skills in the workplace. This reflects one of the key strengths of our training teams in basing course content on the everyday business practice of “end users”.

The Ingenics Academy marries theory with practice, processes with people, preparation with participation, quick wins with sustainable success. The approach works, and has proven itself over time. The benefits to you are multifaceted. Our courses in 2010 reflect the breadth and depth of our portfolio.

“It is definitely possible to heighten the learning curve by imparting knowledge that appeals to all the senses. But sustainability only becomes possible by changing attitudes, starting with personal exposure to success.”
