Why training?
One of the best investments we can make is training and empowering our people (not resources) so they can work with confidence, grow, and provide increasing value to the organization. Training provides that foundation of knowledge that leads to wisdom. We love Destin Sandlin’s SmarterEveryDay Backwards Bike video and the point that is made — “Knowledge does equal understanding.”
Training is just the beginning: Training helps us gain knowledge, and knowledge applied leads to understanding, but to truly be successful at scaling agile in your organization, you must have a healthy balance of knowledge and understanding as well as the desire to experiment and adapt based on new learnings. This keeps you on the path to success.
Why certification?
You can read more details in this great article by the Association of Talent Development here “Certifications provide a number of benefits” – but here’s a quick list of benefits:
- Gain Credibility – certifications can give you an advantage during the hiring process
- Employer Preference – Employers often list industry credentials as a “preferred” qualification
- Increase Your Chances for a Promotion or Advancement
- Personal Satisfaction and Professional Development
- Earn More Money
- Gain New Skills and Knowledge
