Following on from our weekly Academy email, this weeks blog topic relates to teaching success, training and development.
Noe (1986 pg736) cited Campbell et al (1970) stating that 'Training is defined as a planned learning experienced designed to bring about a permanent change in an individual's knowledge, skills or attributes.'
I love this definition as it truly encompasses all the elements development should target in an individual - success can be measured through the output received from the input given. Provide an individual with the tools for success and what they produce will outweigh the investment.
From a managerial point of view, regardless of the industry, Wick et al (2010) states, 'Business leaders are charged with investing...resources in the way that produces the best possible outcomes for the organisation's stakeholders - customers, employees and shareholders.' In charitable organisations the 'best possible outcomes' are the production of resources that allow the charity to do what it does best.
Woody Allen once said, 'The first rule of success is turning up'. Taking the first steps towards professional development is a display of how committed you are to your own, and your organisation's success. The Institute of Fundraising Academy courses are the infrastructure on which to build an advantageous charity.
You will learn from acclaimed tutors like Adrian Sargeant and Stephen Pidgeon, who are the best in their field and at the top of their game, will mean that what you learn is the best.
Get more information about our training courses today for your future success. Remember Allen's first rule and turn up!
