4. What’s the Academy’s learning philosophy?
The Academy courses are geared toward cognitive learning that ranges from general awareness to deeper understanding about:
- Principles, concepts, and terminology
- Why, when, where, and how to apply various concepts and management practices
- The benefits of and potential barriers to successful adoption of those concepts and management practices
Skill and capability development occurs when learners apply cognitive learning in real-world work environments. It generally takes significant practice to build proficiency with any new skill.
Online and in-person classroom learning are excellent delivery models for cognitive learning. Skill development and achieving measurable results occurs separately.
TKMG, Inc.—our consulting/coaching/facilitation firm—is available to help you achieve the latter. For more information, contact us at info@tkmgacademy.com.
