Introducing Navigate Academy!

By Julia Baillie

Introducing Navigate Academy, an online training platform developed exclusively for systems integration and related technology companies.

Over the last decade, the audiovisual integration industry has seen monumental advances in technology and systems. With those advances come more difficult challenges when it comes to selling and managing multiple overlapping projects, which themselves have grown more complex and require greater coordination and collaboration among numerous entities.

Companies are struggling to align the disciplines of portfolio management (strategy), project management (effectiveness), process management (efficiency) and people management (performance). The Navigate Academy addresses all of these disciplines based on proven best practices, bringing maturity and sustainability to your company, reducing the chaos, drama, redo, and ultimately lost profits and morale.

At last, there’s an online training program specifically designed to help systems integrators and their technology partners achieve better business results.

What is Navigate Academy?

The Academy is designed on discrete lesson plans presented on a monthly cadence. Every month brings a new theme – each containing a live webinar, and action item or quiz aligned to the lesson plan, and a supporting podcast and/or video. For those with a competitive streak, there’s also a way to accumulate points and rewards.

The foundation of each lesson plan is the live 45-minute webinar, on the third Friday of every month at 11:00 am ET. All webinars are delivered by Brad Malone. If you miss the live webinar – no problem! All our webinars are recorded and can be accessed by members on demand.

Each month also includes a homework assignment or a quiz, based on the monthly webinar. The purpose of the action item is to help you put the put the ideas from the webinar into action. Learn by doing.

In our ten-minute podcasts, and five-minute videos, we explore the theme for each month, and learn from our peers. We talk with subject matter and industry experts, who share stories and examples about their businesses.

As you progress through each lesson plan, you earn points, and our program gives you rewards and recognition for your achievements.

Each completed monthly lesson plan will be eligible to receive an AVIXA® Certified Technology Specialist (CTS) certification Renewal Unit (RU), and a Project Management Institute® Professional Development Unit (PDU) towards Project Management Professional® (PMP) certification renewal.
