What is in this Learning Journey?

The ‘CREATIVE & CRITICAL THINKING FUNDAMENTALS’  program covers the 7 key rescue strategies to ensure wicked problems can be solved.

 

The BLENDED LEARNING JOURNEYS are self-paced online courses designed for the following purposes:

  1. as a standalone option for an independent learner to learn the basic content of the topic (OR)
  2. as a summary and follow up for the related CORE CONTENT course

 

Format

The lessons follow our format of: A)  Review & Refresh + B) Reflect & React. The lessons are all educationally designed and sequentially placed in the courses to ensure maximum learning

The Review & Refresh sections contain summaries of the key points, further reading, videos and quizzes.

The Reflect & React sections allows the participant to develop personal goals, action plans and assess how they are implementing the strategies learnt in the workplace.

 

Flow

If each lesson is taken once a week, as a participant, you can use the week to ensure you can action learn and develop habits and practice one key point at a time.  Then at the end of the week you can reflect.

General Information, Progression Paths & Flow About This Course

If you are entering this online learning courses organised by A) your company, then please check what is, and is not included in the package purchased by your company / organiser. If a course(s) is/are included, then you should have received a token code to enter (to avoid paying for it yourself). Often companies connect some (but not always all) of these online learning courses with a pre organised face to face (workshop) / digital (webinar) session as a blended learning experience.  

There is however the options for those that have participated in (A) a company organised session, but want more, so as to learn more, dive deeper, apply the learning, try an assignment, get feedback, and with some of our courses become accredited independently. This would be done by purchasing the extra courses as set out in this progression path. (and gaining the matched certificate level associated with this.) 

  1. THE INTRODUCTION PRE-COURSE & ESSENTIALS PACK
    Includes: an Introduction to the topic (pre reading / videos), Reflection (Faces & Places), Pre-survey check prior knowledge & readiness etc AND the Digital workbook.

  2. THE CORE CONTENT COURSES
    Core Content options for learning the key ideas / points / models / case studies etc. By participation through either A) a group workshop -OR- B) individual learning: including the self-led courses: (CSI2) Core Course for Team Leader + Collaborator Canvas

  3. EXTENDED LEARNING JOURNEY COURSE
    This is a summary of the core course

  4. ADVANCED CERTIFICATION LEVEL COURS
     This is to ensure the learning up to this stage can be actioned and used. In this course the participant has to complete a case study / assignment / pitch / recording of a coaching session and present it. The assignment can be followed up with one-on-one coaching and feedback session (group or individual). (Note: prerequisite core content courses apply).

  5. SPECIALISED ACCREDITED COACHING or TRAIN THE TRAINER COURSES
    Become an accredited coach. Course divided into the learning core content plus assessment with feedback (see ADVANCED ASSIGNMENT COURSES as above) all leading to accreditation, so the participant can have a tool for their coaching toolbox to use as needed. (Note: prerequisite courses apply)




To ensure the best use of time is achieved we have flipped the classroom. The optional independent self-paced online sessions we have designed, blend any workshops (face to face or digital) to ensure participants can upskill themselves and dive deeper into the topic. It ensures that any face-to-face / digital workshop time is effectively used for active facilitation & collaborative activities, that clarify concepts and contextualize knowledge through the application, analysis, planning and problem-solving. These courses will help leaders and teams to reflect on and find real solutions to business needs offering a risk-free high impact engagement. These courses are educationally sound, academically researched, and business orientated.
