Nu U Consulting
Training is for dogs. Learning is for life.
Entire fields of study exist about the ways that learning occurs: with the aid of language, by implication, by association, intertwined with emotion, online or in a classroom, by accident or with purpose. Research by Global Learning Partners indicates that adults learn best when they feel respected and when their learning relates to life experiences and has immediate usefulness. Global Learning Partners' studies indicate that students retain 20 percent of what they hear, 40 percent of what they hear and see, and 80 percent of what they do and discover for themselves. Most traditional training methods — classroom or computer-based — are challenged to provide that sort of mix.
While some might call us “corporate trainers,” our unique methods and networked approach defy that label. Our focus is on sustainable learning (the kind people need to continue to grow, improve, change and deliver results) rather than one-time skills building or classical “me, teacher; you, student” tactical, repetitive training (the kind your dog needs to keep from soiling your carpet or chewing your socks).
Our approach differs from traditional methods because it focuses less on short-term gain and more on sustainable improvement through behavioral change and understanding of each individual’s cognitive patterns. We build skills by building awareness of individual strengths and challenges. We avoid the cookie-cutter one-size for all, off-the-shelf approaches in favor of tailored solutions that are inextricably linked to our clients’ overall business objectives and strategies. We look at the challenge of improving the effectiveness of your talent not as a vitamin that will help keep you healthy, but as an antibiotic that you absolutely need to have working for you for your long-term survival.
We don’t build things with blocks, spend hours dissecting over-analyzed cases, or dazzle you with a lifetime supply of PowerPoint. Our approach is hands-on, interactive and connected to the challenges you really face. Unlike many providers, we do not implement singular “off-the-shelf” public programs; rather we customize each solution to the critical business needs of our clients. To ensure the client owns the ultimate solution, we use a “Discovery Development” approach that allows the client to test initial concepts and solutions gradually with minimal financial and organizational risk prior to making significant investment in any approach or service.
Our methods are not for everyone. But if reaching your business or organizational goals requires that you fully and sustainably realize the collective power of your people, Nu U may be the right partner for you.
