Do You Believe in Evolution?

by Christopher J. Boggs

No, I don't mean the theory espoused by Charles Darwin; I mean the idea that change is inevitable and even necessary in business. Do you believe that evolution is required for any business to take advantage of its strengths for the benefit of its customers?

We do! And in 2013 we are evolving, radically according to some, to take advantage of and build on our strengths to better serve you. We think you are going to like the result.

So, what can you expect in 2013 as a result of the Academy's evolution?

A new live class schedule. During the first three years of the Academy, we brought you nearly 300 hours of training and amassed a library of immediate access, on demand classes big enough to keep you learning and growing for more than eight solid weeks (if you listened 8 hours a day).

This amazing library allows us to offer you greater focus and more new training in 2013. You now have three great options for training. The Academy is offering 26 live classes in 2013; plus we are making our immediate access classes more accessible (see below); *plus* there will be new courses added we could not offer before (see "original immediate access" below).

Improved access to and information on our extensive library of existing classes. The Academy has over 200 hours of training and education accessible right now. You don't have to wait for a replay of a previously taught class; you can download any of these classes anytime. All of our most popular classes are there for your use and on your schedule.

New and original immediate access classes. Many of our top instructors agreed to provide several hours of new, original material to the Academy's immediate access library. These new classes are recorded in our studio and made available solely as an immediate access class. This allows the Academy to add new and relevant material without having to wait for an open day in the educational calendar. You gain much quicker access to timely information. And, like other immediate access classes, you can download them anytime and listen anytime - so these, like the existing library of immediate access classes, fit into your schedule.

Even during this time of evolution, certain aspects and features of the Academy are not changing - key features that set us apart and continue into 2013 and beyond include:

Everyone is invited. Invite your entire office to any Academy class you purchase - live or immediate access. If there are 10 professionals in your office who could benefit from a particular class, bring them to the meeting. The single registration fee covers one or 100 students (provided everyone is in the same building).

"Forever" access. When you register for a class you can access it anytime you want and as often as you want. Use this feature for a refresher or to train new members of your staff. Your access to a class never goes away once you pay for it.

Satisfaction guaranteed. The Academy's goal is to provide you with highly relevant, immediately useful information. If you feel a particular class (live or immediate access) does not meet this goal and your needs, we will gladly refund your full purchase price.
