Today’s technology allows for some exciting management development solutions and, whilst e-learning and reading are not the answer to everything, they can be used greatly to enhance the learning experience and can ensure that those with different learning preferences are also supported.
Fermata Development Solutions was founded by Terry Foster in 2016 to provide quality management training and learning & development interventions to clients based on his 25+ years of experience as an L&D professional in a number of industry sectors.
An Italian word, fermata means ‘stop’. However, in music it actually is an indication to make a ‘grand pause’… to interrupt the regular tempo before continuing… and is indicated by the familiar “cyclops eye” symbol. Although current fashion is for learning to take place ever-more ‘on-the-job’, in ‘small-bites’ that don’t interrupt the working day, it is our view that effective learning requires much more than something that is accommodated within already over-busy working lives. Experience, reflection, assimilation, practice… these things can’t be achieved in fifteen-minute learning snatches.
The fermata has no predetermined duration in music. The performer decides on the duration appropriate to that particular performance of the music. And so it is with the pause we give ourselves the opportunity to learn, develop and change… whatever is appropriate.
