iPCo Company Profile
Business Education
Change Makers
Delivering dynamic management design school processes and knowledge
engines for outstanding entrepreneurial real time enterprise
development.
iPCo is an independent and
internationally networked management consultancy company, created by
Professor Richard Dealtry, a successful professional international
organisation development executive. His wide experience of both private and
public sector experience has enabled him to identify that sustainable
business performance improvements can only be achieved through
high quality, professionally managed,
eclectic new learning.
How both companies
and their people can achieve that dynamic management state unrelentingly,
continuously and profitably, has been the
dedication and the vision of his company.
LEARN TO LIVE and LIVE TO
LEARN
This lasting
highly valued saying, dating back to Shakespeare’s times, is at the heart of
our company’s business practices.
It helps to
define the important transition from being taught in a formal educational
environment and culture, i.e. when we LEARN TO LIVE in the earlier
years of our lives, to the more mature stage in life where we have to take
on an increasing amount of “personal responsibility for managing our own
learning” when we LIVE TO LEARN in the eclectic learning environment
of the real world, with its intensive real-time demand-led culture.
At iPCo we
ask people the following questions::
-
Are you
aware of the need to make that important transition in your learning
behaviour?
-
How are
you ensuring high quality in your learning into action outcomes?
-
Is your
learning transition being well managed?
-
Are you
satisfied with your progress?
-
Are
you releasing your full potential and learning capability?
Eclectic

and varied range of sources

Achieving mastery over your
self-managed career and lifestyle learning |
The provision
of world class processes for accelerating and achieving ‘mastery over your
self managed career and lifestyle learning’ is the central dynamic purpose
of all our company’s programmes and support services. The mainstream
management processes and platforms that you can use are the:
These open
process channels provide learning and development environments for people
and organisational teams where they can move forward progressively from the
taught dependency and deference of institution-based programmes and become
highly skilled, purposeful and professionally focused intelligent eclectic
learners situated every day in the business school of life.
Naming
The term
Corporate University is widely accepted in some countries, particularly
in the USA. However, the term Corporate Academy or Enterprise Academy is the preferred term in
Europe, although there are many different names for this top management
learning platform. We choose to use the term Corporate University
throughout our site to encompass all these alternatives and derivatives.

On becoming an intelligent
learner |
We define
intelligent learners as those people and learning organisations that are
highly responsive and proactive in identifying what new learning they need
to learn going forward, how they should learn to meet those needs and when
and where they should learn to be effective, efficient and competitive in
the business environment.
This
transition from being ‘led’ to learning to that of self-directed learning
leadership takes time and determination. Moving-on from a foundation legacy
of passive learning behaviours to a style of dynamic learning behaviour, is
the hard-won central characteristic of successful managers and executives.
Not only do
you have to decide what you need to learn for success in each specific
situation, you also have to develop skills in the monitoring and evaluation
of your learning performance. Making judgements about how effective you are
in
matching your new learning with the reality of situations and future needs.
Have you
identified the new learning needs accurately going forward? Are you using
the best and most relevant learning processes, and is the learning into
action timely or too late?
The many
organisations whose logos are represented on this page have used our
toolkits and open processes methodologies in different ways to innovate,
accelerate and raise their learning into action capabilities. They have
also
used them to renew and refine their experiential learning best practices.
I invite and
welcome you to join this rapidly growing international learning community.
Work and enjoy the opportunity to demonstrate your own free will and good
judgement to determine and achieve new learning day by day. Acquire those
important real time management skills and capabilities
that ensure
success in the application of the corporate university management concept
and to tackle those demand-led challenging situations with renewed
confidence.
