Allow me to introduce myself...

Deliverers is a global learning consultancy. We create impact and change through learning.

We work on global brands and global projects to bring innovation and smarter execution with a difference.

We take an inspired, creative approach to everything we do. We are passionate about business and our learning solutions are always designed to be aligned to our clients commercial goals and strategy. 

Deliverers specialises in learning solutions for major corporations, which include change programmes, sales performance capabilities and transformational, best practice management. Our multi-disciplined, talented and professional teams have skills that cover every aspect of internal and external communications, learning events, eLearning, blended learning development programmes and award-winning video filmmaking.

Our projects are international and cover key markets in the USA, Europe and parts of Asia. Our learning and execution programmes are produced in over 30 languages.

In this day and age we live and work in a changing world. New ideas and approaches emerge, while new problems arise and new solutions are sought. Therefore, the world of work is continuously evolving and constantly moving. What this means then is that if we are not constantly learning as we go about our day-to-day business, then each day we are getting further and further out of touch with the demands of the modern working world.

I can’t imagine there being anything more important then continuous professional development (or CPD for short).

CPD does not simply mean constantly going on training courses; it is much broader then this. It involves being clear about what is required of us in our job to ensure high-quality practice. It also involves making sure that we have, as far as possible, the knowledge and skills required to carry out our duties and responsibilities – filling in any gaps in our knowledge base and skills repertoire as these become identified.

In addition to knowledge and skills, there is also the question of values. We need to make sure that our work is consistent with the value base on which it is based.

Learning is not just important to ensure that we keep up-to-date with developments in our particular field. It is also an important source of motivation, stimulation and job satisfaction. For example, somebody who works in a particular place for three years and during that time continues to learn, grow and develop is likely to experience far greater job satisfaction than someone who stays in the same post for three years, simply repeating the basic tasks in the same way without any growth or development over that time. Learning should therefore be seen as something positive and worthwhile in its own right, not just something that we have to do to meet other people's expectations of us.

Learning helps us to keep in tune with trends and developments in our own field. It provides stimulation and job satisfaction and also helps to keep us on our toes to make sure that we do not become blasé and thus more likely to make mistakes. Learning should therefore not be seen as an additional burden on top of what is already perhaps a heavy workload, but rather something to be welcomed as a means of dealing as effectively as possible with that heavy workload.
