GoTo Academy

Capability, transferred deliberately.

The purpose of the Academy is to reduce what a client needs to buy from us. That is the stated principle, and it is applied even where it costs revenue. Training is designed from the capability gap identified in discovery rather than from a catalogue.

03Principles

Four operating principles.

PrincipleWhat it means
Built from the gap, not the catalogueProgrammes are designed from the capability gap identified in discovery. A course that does not close a stated gap is entertainment with a certificate.
Recorded, because governance asksWho was trained, on what, when, and the material used. The training record forms part of the handover pack and satisfies the governance requirement that usually prompts the training in the first place.
Evaluated, not attendedA post-training evaluation is run against the gap the programme was designed to close. Attendance figures are not an outcome.
Capability before dependencyThe purpose of the Academy is to reduce what the client needs to buy from us. That is the stated principle, and it is applied even where it costs revenue.
The GoTo Academy™ framework
Diagnose the capability gap, design the programme, deliver it, certify who was trained on what, and evaluate against the gap the programme was designed to close. Attendance figures are not an outcome.
Governance value
The training record forms part of the handover pack and satisfies the governance requirement that usually prompts the training in the first place. See the GoTo Academy™ framework.
04Year three onward

Courses, certifications and memberships.

The Academy is one of the eight business units, and part of the shift from a firm that must be sold to again every month into an asset that compounds.

Book a Discovery Session

Training usually starts with a capability gap nobody has written down.

A discovery conversation establishes what the gap actually is, which is frequently different from the course that was requested.

Enquiries acknowledged within one business day, always.
