You feel like you have no time, stressed and even guilty for not having the time you need.

Maybe you find it so overwhelming and you feel like just giving up on your task of developing training course materials.

Why Are Competency Development Skills Essential?

I know that people turn to Oak Innovation to look for information to learn new skills or to deliver their training courses.

And we’re always available to help in any way that we can.

At their simplest, competency skills are the skills required to understand, identify, optimize, and develop the competencies necessary for an individual to reach optimum performance in their role, and aligned to the overall strategy of an organization.

That’s why our teams believe that competency development skills are simple and essential skills that can be developed through various training workshops, meetings, and activities. These skills are also beneficial to all categories of staff.

For me, the key reasons why competency skills are essential in the workplace are:

• Deloitte’s Human Resource Executive’s “What’s Keeping HR Up at Night” survey revealed that 2 of the top 5 challenges facing companies are aligning people strategies to business objectives and driving culture change.
• Gartner highlight that 70% of employees still feel that they do not have sufficient mastery of their skills to perform their jobs.
• Sprout Social revealed that only 29 % of organizations with clear learning and development plans. And that this leads many employees to feel undervalued and underdeveloped.

Course Description

A competency is a collection of related skills, abilities, and knowledge that enable individuals to perform effectively in a job or task.

And the main benefits of competency development to an organization are:

• Clarification of job and work expectations.

As someone who’s been involved in training for more than twenty years, I’ve never known a resource that’s as consistently valuable as Oak. I’m always amazed at their willingness to provide purchasers of their complete range of presentations regular updates and new training packages at no additional cost. That makes my purchase become more valuable all the time. And their speed in responding to questions is phenomenal. One of the sessions I often provide is a Training the Trainers workshop. In it, the very first resource I encourage people to purchase is the library of resources from Oak. These packages have made my job infinitely easier, and I recommend them to anyone who’s looking for the highest quality in training materials. Jeffrey L. Buller, Senior Partner at ATLAS Leadership Training

“During the early days of HRD Gateway, a 40,000-member international NGO dedicated to excellence in HRD/HRM, I got to know Des Fitzgerald (Oak Innovation) and his courseware. I become one of his early customers. I had clients in Asia who wanted training in certain areas. Instead of searching through the net for material, I logged onto his site, found what I wanted, bought his programs, and customized them to suit my clients requirements. The process saved me much time. Later, I bought the Oak full set of courses. Over the years, I saw Oak grow from a small operation to what it is today. That takes dedication and focus. Because they allowed me to download updates and new versions of the courseware, I found I did not have to go to another provider for my raw material." GK Lim President, HRD Gateway International

I've developed an alliance with Oak -- a company that has developed a wide assortment of training "modules" that you can download right now. When you download a module you own it forever and have permission to edit it, customize it (logos, etc.) and deliver the module as many times as you like. You receive a Word document, PDF, PowerPoint and comprehensive participant manual and your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back. The modules are designed for trainers, coaches and consultants looking to increase the range of products and services they can offer their clients. Oak content is also ideal for managers and employees looking to extend their knowledge of organizational, management and employee titles.
