From the desk of Jim McKelvey Thank you for opening this email, I trust it finds you doing
well. It’s been some time since I shared news with you from Great
Lakes Profiles and a lot of exciting things have taken place over the
past 18 months. We’ve been extremely
busy improving and expanding our products and services to better serve you. We’ve made improvements in three areas with
an eye toward helping you in the selection, development, and retention of your
most precious resource - your people. |
|||||
| Training In conjunction with one of our resource partners, we now have 200 training courses available,
all of which can be tailored to your specific needs. Perhaps even more exciting, all of these courses are now available as
e-Learning modules. These modules
are 60 to 90 minutes in length, they’re voice narrated, and are designed for
self-paced learning. In addition to our
core Leadership curriculum, we also offer a “High Potential Leadership Program”
and an “Emerging Leadership Program”. |
||||||
| Business Simulations Our board based business simulations are fast becoming a
popular way to increase the business and
financial acumen of an organization’s leaders and employees. Through the simulations, we help organizations
teach their leaders and/or employees how to drive profitability by allowing them
to “experience” the real-life complexities of running the business. Our customizable
simulations are hands-on, board based experiences (not lectured based) where
participants must make decisions in all aspects of the business. They’re faced with challenging situations
requiring them to balance shareholder needs with profitability, cash, and
growth requirements. By doing so, they ultimately experience the effects of
their decisions without risking real money.
We’re pleased to announce that
the Talent Reality simulation is now accredited by HRCI. |
||||||
| Assessments
Assessments have been our core business for more than
twenty-five years. About a year and a
half ago, the publisher of our assessments was purchased by Wiley, a global
publishing company that produces books, journals, and encyclopedias as well as
online products and services, training materials, and educational materials. We’re delighted with the many changes Wiley
has made to our assessment portfolio and we’re especially excited to announce
that the Leadership Analysis Report is now available at no additional cost when
someone has taken a ProfileXT. |
||||||
| Coming up . . . Finally, beginning this month we’re launching our new
series of newsletters focused on your most precious resource - Human Capital! Each month you will be receiving helpful tips
and information that we trust you will find as valuable as we do. We believe sharing knowledge, experiences,
and lessons learned are valuable contributions to the business community. We
trust you will find these newsletters both useful and informative and we
welcome any comments you may have to make the information more meaningful to
you. We look forward to interacting with you in the months to come and wish you and your organization much success! Jim McKelvey Great Lakes Profiles, Inc. Human Capital – Getting It Right! (248) 693-3328 Office (248) 388-0697 Mobile Jim@GreatLakesProfiles.com www.GreatLakesProfiles.com | ||||||
