Training Methodology
The teaching methodology combines formal theoretical instruction with extensive use of case studies and class exercises.
Group discussion and debate are led by the instructor, and the delegate’s experience is an integral aspect of the learning process.
Most senior professionals learn best from their own context and experience, and the course is designed to be both practical and engaging.
Course Director Profile
Barry Wood is a seasoned professional who has worked for many years in senior management positions in the commercial and industrial corporate worlds. He started his career in the IT sector and advanced swiftly through the ranks to group IT Manager for one of the most significant IT structures in the Southern hemisphere. In the mid-’90s, Barry left the IT industry and decided to bring his entrepreneurial skills to the fore by setting up his own company specializing in the Asset Management Industry. Using his unique management skills, he has managed and guided his company for the last 28 years, implemented asset management systems, and undertaken massive projects for large industrial corporations. Although still involved with his company, he has now handed over the day-to-day running and management operations to his senior management team.
Barry is a skilled communicator with many years of training experience in the industry. He is not an academic. He is a professional grassroots trainer with a blend of technical knowledge, practical concepts, real-life experiences, and stories. He has a skill set that enables him to communicate effectively and engage the attention of all levels of people. Over the years, he has chaired many conventions and has been invited as a keynote speaker for several product launches and industry conferences.
Barry has a passion for training to impart the depth of his knowledge and experiences to others so they can have success and contribute to the upliftment of this industry that he is so passionate about. His ability to effectively present complex concepts in an easy-to-understand manner with simple and numerous examples makes his training programs highly successful and enjoyable and not to be missed.
The courses are case study intensive, and his examples are thought-provoking and elicit a significant amount of group discussion, so delegates learn the “how to.” What sets our course director apart from other trainers is his extensive business experience over the last few decades – his technical skill set is not academic. His blend of technical knowledge and practical experience contributes to the overall success of the training workshops. In addition to unparalleled technical expertise, he brings a unique ability to integrate technical concepts into real-life scenarios while focusing on achieving agreed-upon learning objectives. His ability to effectively present complex ideas in an easy-to-understand manner makes his training workshops highly successful.
