"Increasing levels of effectiveness and
productivity are as important in today's
workplace as they were 20 years ago, when The 7 Habits book was first
published," said Sean Covey,
Senior Vice President of Innovations, FranklinCovey. "Now,
through e-learning, employees who work off-site, on-site or both can
apply these timeless principles to help them yield greater productivity,
improve interpersonal communication and take more initiative. As they
establish greater trust, strengthen relationships, increase their
influence, and focus on critical priorities, they will also enhance team
performance."
"The 7 Habits Interactive Edition
provides a way for organizations through e-learning to teach these
principles and skills to all leaders and employees --
regardless of work location --
quickly and inexpensively, so that organizations can benefit from larger
scale behavior change," said
Jeff Snipes, CEO and founder of Ninth House. "This
is critical in today's business
environment where organizational change and innovation is often required
on a global basis and needs to happen fast thereby requiring quality
technology-based solutions to provide the geographic reach."
The 7 Habits Interactive Edition is based on Stephen R. Covey's
international bestselling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
People. The e-learning course is designed to help
employees improve their individual and organizational effectiveness,
enabling them to achieve better results and more successful lives. The
program is a participatory e-learning experience that illustrates the
behaviors and practices of each of the 7 Habits, teaches the user how to
incorporate the 7 Habits into their behavior and evaluates the success
of the user on each habit. The 7 Habits modules include:
1. Be Proactive(R)
2. Begin with the End In Mind(R)
3. Put First Things First(R)
4. Think Win-Win(R)
5. Seek First to Understand(R)
6. Synergize(R)
7. Sharpen the Saw(R)
The leadership development program includes use of cinematic
video, real actors, award-winning storytelling, reality-based
simulations and powerful case studies to create an emotional connection
for the learner. It facilitates complex behavior modeling and
demonstrates the nuances of human interactions. Users interact with
real-life simulations and interactive exercises allowing them to
practice newly learned skills and behaviors in a safe but realistic
environment.
According to Human Resource Executive magazine, "This
product should keep employees engaged as they go through the process.
The films look like a Hollywood-produced movie or TV show, with
high-quality acting, writing and production and even a touch of comedy
to keep users interested."
"We are deeply honored to have The 7
Habits Interactive Edition receive this recognition from Human
Resource Executive magazine, a publication that has contributed so
much within the industry. Through the partnership between FranklinCovey
and Ninth House, The 7 Habits have come alive with this interactive
cinematic approach to leadership development,"
said Stephen Covey. "We are
applying new and innovative methods to make leaders, managers, teams and
individuals more effective and productive than ever before."
Organizations have the option of deploying the leadership
development program as a standalone e-learning course or as part of a
blended learning program.
