eNthusa – Learning !

This is not a catalog.  We don’t call this a catalog because we are not a mass producer of courses that force you to follow a cookie cutter approach.  

We custom design traditional course content to flex and adapt to your schedule, your culture, your issues and your expectations.  That’s why you won’t see times, dates or durations on our list of ‘courses’.  We are more akin to a home schooling model than a public university model.  If you need massive volumes of training, then we may not be the best source for you.

Our Approach to thinking about Development and Training for your team:

When we think of our organizational structure, it is easy to see that we can usually slice it along three dimensions: People, Process, Product.   What we have found is that it is along the interfaces of these dimensions that stuff happens, so we have categorized our areas of subject matter expertise (those areas in which we can provide you and your people education, training, or simulation) into these three interfaces.

To help you improve your People – Process interface

• Team Building – like you’ve never experienced before
• Dialogue and Discussion – knowing the difference will help you design meetings better, will improve those times when you want open ended thinking and those times when you need to drive a decision to closure.
• Presentation Techniques – this is both from the oral and the visual aspects, customized to your specific needs.  The visual elements are based heavily on the work of Edward Tufte and the oral on the work of Toastmasters.
• Myers Briggs Type Indicator – in our 20 years of experience, no personality tool comes close to the power of this approach.  We have experience with DiSC, Strongs, SDI and other tools…these are all very good, but we have found that with our unique approach, teams get the most power and value from using this Jung based psychology instrument.
• Learning Organization Disciplines - do you want to take your team or organization to the next level?  Then your processes need to change.  That’s obvious. What is not so obvious is that your Mental Model of your capabilities has to change first.  This is the heart of what it means to be a Learning Organization… being able to open up to entirely new ways of thinking, testing that thinking and being able to design and implement new ways of doing business.

To help you improve your Process-Product interface

• Process Management / Improvement - if you are still blaming the people instead of improving your processes, then this is for you.  We can flex this to whatever experience level you have on your team, from introductory process thinking, to process mapping, to value stream analysis.
• Lean Sigma - this is just a custom version of Process Management, but we have found it powerful.  We recommend Six Sigma if you have the data; Lean if you are looking for a straight laced approach to eliminating waste.
