We are pleased to announce the September 2015 issue of the CITI Consulting Solutions bulletin – in this months issue:
Welcome to the September Bulletin
With the new academic year on us we thought it might be timely to look at the theme of work-based learning. At CITI we have always believed that practical application of sound principles is a powerful development approach. We’ve never had faith in the ‘sell a man a fish and your feed him for a day’ philosophy; we’ve always preferred to ‘teach him how to fish so that he is fed for life’. But such an approach means breaking out of the confines of the classroom and putting a rod in the student’s hand and stand with them at the water’s edge; you can’t learn to fish in theory alone.
Enough of the analogies, lately, over the last few years, we have seen an increasingly common trend amongst several of our clients who are benefiting disproportionately from experiential learning based approaches. The latest epitome of this is the 70:20:10 model of individual and corporate development so this month we are going to focus on this.
Some might argue it is a formalisation of what already happens in reality; others that there is nothing new under the sun as 70:20:10 harps back to the day of the old-fashioned apprenticeships and yet others might suggest that it is little more than management consultant hyperbole and ‘spin’. Whatever the truth, In this issue of the Bulletin, we’ll take a look at some of the pros and cons of such an approach.
In addition we provide a round-up of the latest Project Challenge and also offer access to CITI’s new corporate video.
We hope you enjoy your copy of Bulletin and, as ever, look forward to your feedback and input.
Your comments and questions are welcome – or feel free to join the debate by commenting in the linked articles!
