Research & Knowledge Services (RKS)
Combining our practice, research and teaching experiences, we help clients develop continuous learning capabilities.
Executive Learning
Our extensive research into executive education reveals:
- Growing cynicism about the hype surrounding vendor driven trends
- Knowledge acquisition is not the same as learning
- Learning occurs as individuals attempt to apply knowledge as part of their everyday activities, in their working environments
Despite this, vendors and training providers persevere in pushing products and services whilst ignoring the development of learning capabilities
In the case of digital leadership:
- There are myriad perspectives on key, emerging themes explaining the relevance of digital technologies to organizations; and
- Executive education has largely been abandoned to consultancies and vendors, with individuals destined to ride the ever changing IT boat down the turbulent river of management information
Compounding this:
- There is no unifying framework of professional standards for enterprise leadership in digitally maturing environments
Career progression for digital leaders has become a lottery.
Continuous Learning
To address these problems, THM combines our experiences of practice, research and teaching/ training to help clients develop continuous learning capabilities
THM continues to:
- Practice the delivery and assurance of organizational transformation activities
- Conducts academically rigorous research that contributes to the development of new knowledge in key IT fields; and
- Works with clients to exploit these experiences to help develop in-situ learning processes critical for organizations wishing to keep their leadership teams at the leading edge of continuous digital transformations
Learn more about how we combine practice, research and teacher/ training experiences to offer a truly unique approach to continuous learning.
