Read The N Vision Learning Solution
“Systems thinking is a discipline for seeing wholes. It is a framework for seeing interrelationships rather than things, for seeing patterns of change rather than static snapshots. It is a set of general principles. Systems thinking is a sensibility for the subtle interconnectedness that gives living systems their unique character.”

By radical analysis, we mean truly understanding the current leadership reality. We want to know not only the tangible reality of an organization, i.e. the financial performance, organizational structures, markets and competitors. We also want to explore the intangible reality, the politics, hopes and fears of the people, their mindsets, leadership styles, culture of motivation and collaboration, trust levels and relationships between key players. This radical or rooted analysis breeds relevance and meaning for the learning leaders, versus a cold mechanical and numbers-crunching-only analysis.
Our design and interventions are pragmatic in nature and practice because they balance hard and soft practice realities. Head and heart, simplicity versus complexity, process versus event are examples of our pragmatic learning methods. We deeply believe in the value of cross-pollinated learning solutions, that is to bring together people who are required to work together to create successful business results yet are often separated by hierarchal levels, physical distance or different business functions.
N Vision Learning Solutions are also characterized by:
- client partners in the business unit as well as learning and development,
- a clearly defined organizational business problem, need or opportunity to be capitalized on,
- strategic versus operational orientation,
- distinct and well-defined stakeholders, leaders groups who are committed to the prescribed learning solution,
- consistent with PACE & PRACTICE², and
- a deeply consistent client belief that engaging people, driving change and creating results is best achieved through stimulating learning versus control and command and fear-driven initiatives.
One of our Learning Solution approaches is Business Driven Action Learning. This Learning Solution is visibly aligned to the current business challenges (business issues are often selected and followed by senior management) together with an emphasis on both self-directed and ‘set learning’ that is uniquely supported by the Business Driven Action Learning approach. This creates positive learning environments that challenge and stimulate highly motivated leaders to ‘learn for profit,’ both for themselves and for the organizations they serve.
