In a world of information and data overload how do you maintain confidence in your own personal, professional development? Perhaps the last thing you need is more and more 'latest ideas', fads and flavours of the month and life would be much easier if you just made sure you got the fundamentals right? If so you have come to the right place - an unashamedly simple and practical approach to developing into a Consummate Professional by following well tried and tested methods at an amazingly low cost from a world authority on some of the most difficult areas in HR strategy, human capital measurement and evaluation.
What is a Consummate Professional?
A Consummate Professional in HR, Learning and OD is someone who approaches an organisational issue just like the best doctors who correctly diagnose the ailment or disease before they write out a prescription or offer a course of treatment. Whether you are an operational manager interested in the people issues, an HR general practitioner, or a specialist consultant, you can become a Consummate Professional by:
- Correctly DIAGNOSING the causes of HR problems and issues
- Gathering credible EVIDENCE before you act
- DESIGNING interventions & solutions around appropriate measures
- CHECKING the prescription had the desired effect
- Ensuring that the whole process is part of a CYCLE OF LEARNING
Paul Kearns has been teaching his methods, tools, and techniques in both public and in-house Masterclasses and workshops since 1993 and on MBA and Executive Education programmes for over 10 years. Now the CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL SERIES brings a COMPLETE SYSTEM of complementary programmes and tutorial support, online to help you rapidly develop your professionalism and offer you endless opportunities to share your experiences and learning with colleagues from around the world.
The CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL SERIES (CPS) is the first professional programme specifically designed to totally integrate HR Strategy, Human Capital Management, Learning Strategy and OD - it is THE COMPLETE SYSTEM for those wanting to be top professionals. A complete methodology in which you can have total confidence that your advice will be on solid foundations.
Over 30 Years Experience
CPS is the distillation of professionalism from over 30 years experience of sound practice, consulting, writing and teaching. It incorporates the most important elements of theory, some key principles, a robust yet adaptable methodology and some simple tools, designed at a very low cost to make it accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world who aspires to become the Consummate Professional in HR and Learning. You can start by trying just one Module (I would recommend the CPS Toolkit first as it can be applied to all other Modules) and add on any others as you see the need and at your own pace. The low cost means you could choose to complete all the Modules for a fraction of the cost of attending a one day workshop.
It is structured on a MODULE basis so that you can pick and choose the elements that suit your own role, level of knowledge and experience. You can start by trying just one Module (I would recommend the
Masterclass Modules
Each Module comprises a condensed, video version of the key content of the Masterclasses that have been successfully presented by Paul Kearns over many years and the average time for each Module presentation is only approximately 30 minutes. The Modules cover the key elements of a specific area of expertise (e.g. training evaluation) in a simple, step-by-step, concise and practical format. The use of technology has been kept to an absolute minimum partly to keep the cost as low as possible and also to make them very accessible and usable on any personal computer, anywhere, anytime.
No previous experience is assumed for the CPS programme but it has been designed with a 'graduate' level ability in mind. Its application only requires simple logic and common sense and there are Exercises attached to each Module for you to try the lessons out.
