Training sits at the heart of every continuous improvement and digital transformation initiative as technology grows in complexity while offering so many new opportunities.
For every organisation, getting results from technology is challenging. The systems in use in the modern workplace are complex and change rapidly meaning that the opportunities that come from using technology also come with significant risks, not least of all the potential for spiralling costs whenever the use of systems is not optimised or the frustration that comes when issues linger unresolved for extended periods, or worse reoccur due to a lack of understanding.
Whenever the use of technology in an organisation isn’t linked to strategy it is practically impossible to gain real value, and ROI can never be maximised when technology isn’t used to its fullest potential. Not getting the most from technology investment leaves every organisation open to being overtaken by the competition.
For an individual, any job can be unduly stressful when you are untrained, and being untrained in IT can be doubly so due to the complexity and risk. It’s hard to enjoy a complete sense of job satisfaction when confidence in a critical aspect is low.
For those tasked with IT specific tasks like managing systems used by others it can be hard to feel part of a profession or community if you aren’t aware of where to turn to for assistance or to get a sense of direction to guide self-learning activities.
Training Programmes
Getting exactly the training that’s needed, when it’s needed, in a way that works for everyone when you can’t be sure what is possible or what is currently unknown to the team is not a situation where confident decisions can be made, particularly when the costs of ineffective training are considered.
Minnock Technologies offers a variety of training programmes as part of a complete service, including
- Tailored Programmes that align to specific needs or strategies being pursued,
- Focused Programmes that are pre-defined based on key technologies, and
- Integrated Programmes that combine training and consulting engagements to maximise value
All Minnock Tech programmes include an evaluation of needs based on the skills and experience of those receiving training to avoid wasting time and to achieve results quickly.
Partnership is the core of the Minnock Technologies training service, and we work with you to ensure that we are bringing exactly what your organisation needs to enable dramatic performance and job satisfaction improvements.
Mentoring & Coaching
The use of technology in business has matured to the point where every organisation uses some form of tech to deliver their products or services. To leverage the power of Information Technology, leaders must build knowledge, skills, and deep understanding in many different areas. Attempting to gain such a high level of competency in IT without someone to guide you is a daunting task and one likely to fail.
Minnock Technologies provides IT mentoring and coaching based on extensive experience delivering excellence in technology and business, working directly with clients one-to-one and partnering to grow capabilities, to be a sounding board for ideas and concerns, and to guide on how to lead innovation and transformation through technology.
Team Development
Teams are dynamic, changing over time as they work together in adapting to new situations, facing new challenges, and striving to make the most out of every opportunity. However, teams can be so busy delivering that they lose sight of what they may need to work on in order to stay as effective as possible. Often, gaps in skills or weaknesses in processes can go unnoticed until something goes wrong and by then it is too late to avoid a negative impact.
Coaching teams to be their best is a speciality of Minnock Technologies as we bring proven methods for working with teams to safely identify opportunities for growth through targeted skills development and ways-of-working improvements built on strong foundations of understanding that begins with surfacing the purpose and nature of the team and creating buy-in for how the team operates for success. Our methods include detailing the reality of how a team must work, how to customise processes to deliver well, and how to help individual team members grow their contribution.
Minnock Tech has a deep understanding of team structures and needs, particularly in fast-paced technology environments, and has strong experience in tailoring Agile and other methodologies to get the most efficient work practices in place to enable predictable and consistent delivery.
