Hello and welcome to the Management Learning Box! If you’re:
§ tuned in to the management and leadership training fields
§ feel passionate about people, potential and improvement
§ and have a thirst for knowledge and understanding…
Then you’ve come to the right spot!
The Management Learning Box is approaching its third year of online and face-to-face activity. 2010 was a tough year with a lot of effort and commitment to satisfy our stakeholders. However, existing partnerships deepened, most notably with SAI Global and the ISIT School of Intercultural Management. Quite apart from instructional design projects, face-to-face training now accounts for 50% of activity with workshops in the fields of corporate ethics, change management, working with multicultural teams and compliance investigations having taken place in Paris, Hamburg and Prague. Our Six Keys to Effective Leadership e-books have received many hits from across the world, from Singapore to Alaska to London and even Afghanistan!
The idea behind “The Box” is simple and came from experience gained while working as a programme manager for a major management training e-learning provider: offer ready-to-use, ready-to-integrate and easy-to-edit raw learning seeds.
Over 400 of these seeds are available on the Management Learning Box website, as well as a current 6 compilations of resources in the Six Keys to Effective Leadership e-book series.
What exactly are the learning seeds? They include case studies, coaching and self-coaching exercises, activities, role plays, assessments, profilers and leadership summaries.
What can you do with them? These seeds can be immediately used in face-to-face management and leadership training as stand-alone exercises or else set as self-managed learning exercises between training sessions. They can also be extracted from their current PDF/Word file and integrated into your training product – e-learning modules, DVD/CDs, books, training modules or even adapted as script/text for your iPhone or Smart phone applications.
What are the benefits? The first idea we were looking for is simplicity – buy or download for free and just use or extract the learning seed for immediate use. A second idea was choice and pricing within the reach of everybody connected to the training field – you can select from one learning seed to as many as you like, for an exceptionally good price. A third wish was to encourage creativity and development – when you buy a learning seed, it becomes rights free and enables you to use it, modify it, enhance it or label it as your own. And finally save time – developing new learning content can take a lot of time, research and energy. The Management Learning Box offers you a range of shelves full of already-developed learning content to cut down that investment and focus on delivery.
