On the job training, mentoring, motivation and inspiration
There are many ways to learn something new. It is my observation, that most people learn the quickest when the presented material is highly applicable to the task they are trying to accomplish.
My approach is a combination of training and mentoring modules, customized to your project and your developer's unique situations.
My service available to you
I can help you reduce your costs, and improve the output or your SW development department, by helping your developers:
  • quickly and easily understand the theory of new technologies, new approaches, new styles, processes and procedures - through short, specific, customized training sessions
  • safely develop experience in and by applying the newly learned in practice on their project - through individual mentorship, using code-reviews, constructive feedback, encouraging brain-storms and Q&A
  • ultimately understand how the newly learned makes their life easier - ensuring buy-in and support
Cost minimizing benefit for you
  • Customized training reduces the time needed to translate the learned theory into the practice of your application.
  • Individual mentoring following the training helps your developer utilize the newly learned quicker and better - resulting in better code within shorter time.
  • A well trained workforce is like a well-oiled engine - best input(cost)/output(productivity) ratio
