It’s rather rare for a consultancy to devote so much time getting to know our organization’s needs and aspirations. The fact that you did this while also developing work-based training solutions that met our unique needs, resulted in our employees experiencing a very relevant, high-quality and engaging learning journey that produced a real mindset shift.

Claire Marr, Head of Capability & Resourcing, Sainsbury’s Bank

Emergn’s work-based learning approach allows us to exercise the thing we’re learning while we are performing the tasks on a day-to-day basis. We are immediately seeing the value. We are immediately changing the way in which we approach delivery to our clients.

Tim Maslak, SVP, Applied Energy Group

It has given us a common language and a common way of getting things done right across the business. There is a very different atmosphere and culture in the way that we work and that’s really rewarding.

Why we’re different

At Emergn, we believe that people and companies can improve the way they work and achieve better outcomes.

This is done by embracing three guiding principles:

Deliver VALUE early and often

Optimize the FLOW of work end-to-end

Discover QUALITY with fast feedback

Together, these principles reflect a pragmatic philosophy of the world of work that you can apply to transform your business or to grow professionally. To help you along the journey, we developed and continue to refine a trusted set of models, techniques and tools, along with unique guidance on concepts, frameworks and methods. We call it VFQ.  Academy is designed for participants to incorporate the VFQ principles into their ways of working.

Measurement and reporting

“If you can measure something, then you have some control over it.”
Georg Joachim Rheticus

In Academy, we use leading to lagging metrics to know how learners engage with the content. Metrics such as NPS and ROTI are helpful. However, the metrics we are interested in are the application of changed behavior and practices to work, both on individuals and at the team level.

We focus on metrics that matter over vanity metrics – the application of the skills in the context of your business:

  • Knowledge-based assessment scores measuring gained knowledge
  • Practices Checklist measuring practices applied
