Video Training
The AirTight Management Video Training Library (VTL) means better, faster and more cost effective.
We have created a library of 360 videos. About 160 are about growth and the rest are on entrepreneurship. Most can be seen at www.EntrepreneurshipU.com. Training courses are a critical component of any growing business. Over 75% of employees say they will stay longer when they are getting career growth through training.
This video library allows every individual manager to learn these proven, successful best practices at their own pace very cost effectively. Some may need to play videos twice, while others can watch once at 1.5X speed. These give a foundation of leadership and management knowledge that starts a cultural shift to professional, high-performance management.
You can use video training anywhere you have an Internet connection. Video training segments average ten minutes each and entire courses are generally 1-3 hours of video plus handout materials and optional testing for certificates of achievement. These courses can be taken all at once or spread out over weeks. When working to help companies grow all managers get a custom development program.
Online video training has the following advantages over in-person lectures and seminars, but is not meant to fully replace these:
- Lower cost over all
- Eliminates travel of employees and/or trainers for more savings
- Consistent delivery quality by the most knowledgeable trainers with studio production
- Replay as often as you like and refresh an employee’s memory when they need it
- Online validation and tracking of individual usage in a Learning Management System (LMS)
- Ability to test and certify employees, managers and executives in each appropriate area to lead projects or just use the System(s)
- Provide a value-added benefit for employees to grow, be challenged and improve their skills, which research shows increases employee retention and engagement.
- Constant 24-7-365 availability
- Only a browser is needed, no special hardware or software, so you can start immediately on any device and do anywhere
Video training is included with all our coaching, training and consulting engagements as one part of those programs. We can help you with design and implementation (where the magic happens) remotely or on-site, or you can do it alone using just our training (not recommended except for very experienced executives).
Our VTL is available by subscription. Call (619) SCALE06 for details.
Training Alone Almost Always Fails!
This is why we offer our guaranteed, hybrid program of training + coaching + consulting.
- Discovery to figure out what your company needs and design the program – Often completed in one day
- A customized training plan with training and coaching for each manager
- Design – A full plan over 1, 3, 6 or 12 months depending on what you need to implement everything needed to guarantee success
- Implementation – Training, coaching and adjustment as needed. We do it all for you.
Your team will need help and support after starting with video training to implement real change. Implementation requires actual experience, not just knowledge. It requires discipline, commitment and the help of an expert with experience too. Why reinvent the wheel? For example, we will attend a couple goal setting monthly meetings (MBO/OKR/SMART goals) to see everyone gets it. There are subtle things that people need to see and experience.
No amount of reading about riding a bike makes you able to ride a bike. You need to get experience using complex things to really lock it in mentally (“experiential learning”).
We can do remote training cost effectively with a “Flip classroom” model. This means the employees view the videos (homework) then get together for a class (virtual or physical) with an expert on that content area. This allows our experts and consultants to focus on applying the training and systems to your business right away instead of just delivering canned training. We will facilitate group discussion, workshops and help implement via coaching – not just train people. Guiding them through the process carefully.
As appropriate we will do one-on-one coaching, design and implementation for each department and/or manager where certain people are critical or have trouble shifting their mental patterns and habits. As a business management consultant, we are so experienced at this we can do things with you in a day that your team could never accomplish in weeks or even months of trial and error – like designing a killer dashboard that frames success and focuses people on the right metrics (KPIs) for a department in just a couple of hours!
Call (619) SCALE06 for a free strategy session where we will diagnose what you need quickly and provide a quote at a budget you can afford.
First, we will focus on the largest impact for your bottom line and competitive advantage. Remotely we allow 4-8 weeks to fit into any schedule, budget and not disrupt the business. We could do this faster but find companies usually need this amount of time to absorb the content and begin.
As a small business program, we will be making permanent changes to a culture to transform it into a higher performance culture. Employees can get several levels of optional certifications to use, lead, maintain and even help implement each system as a Project Leader. We will also help design crucial things like dashboards that require many years’ experience to do well, injecting our many decades of experience to get it all done quickly and right the first time.
Optional manager certifications include four levels:
1. Basic or introductory – For individuals who have to use the System in their job – This is a “Green Belt” certification.
2. Intermediate – For managers with “ownership” of deliverables using one or more Systems. This is a “Red Belt”
3. Advanced – For senior managers and executives that have broad responsibility and cross-departmental concerns – “Purple Belt”
4. Expert – This certification is mainly for professional consultants and coaches who wish to install the AirTight Management Systems for a living – This is the “Black Belt”.
- An AirTight “Guru” or “Master” is a Black Belt in all Six Systems and also has at least 10 years management experience.
- Only Black Belts can lead System Implementations in each system. Most people specialize on one but our Founder, Bob Norton, does all.
