The Complete Guide SeriesThe Complete Guide series is designed to give you a solid understanding of software features and capabilities. The courses are divided into logically organized, easy-to-follow lectures and topics.

Along with text, graphics, audio, and video demonstrations, a typical lecture features multiple “Let Me Try” exercises that take you step by step through sometimes complex procedures. The goal of performing these steps on your own is an understanding that goes beyond simply knowing what things are called and where to find them, into practical experience with skills you can apply to real-world situations.

While each Let Me Try project presents different solutions and methods, we urge you to focus on the concepts and techniques presented, rather than memorizing the specific steps used. Out in the real world, you will be presented with many different situations, and understanding the “why” of what you’re doing will help you more than memorizing the exact “how.”

The Complete Guide series has been carefully structured not only to give you the knowledge and skills you need to be a successful software user, but also to prepare you for the certification exams. This is why we include guides that let you know which topics are of particular importance for certification.

The Guided course is structured to be completed in order from beginning to end. Once any topic is completed, you will have full access to it at any time for one year after registration, to use as a resource. The Guided courses includes Technical Help Desk Support as well qualifies for a Certificates of Completion when purchased through a participating Autodesk ATC®. Note, not all courses have the guided version.

The Flexible course is not structured like the Guided version, however does contain all the same content, including the lecture quizzes for your own assessment. Flexible course delivery allows full access to any area of the course and is available to you for one full year after registration. This allows you to find what you need, whenever you need it. The Flexible version is not eligible for the Certificate of Completion.

Total Leadership LibraryIntroduction to Emotional Intelligence for the AEC Industry and Plan Creation

In order to provide a baseline for the participants, they take the Mini EI test. They also receive an individual coaching guide that shows how these patterns affect their relationships, communication, presentation, team participation, creativity, stress management, and time management.

Participants create individual development plans. These development plans will be emphasized in each of the following courses. This preliminary work gives participants a better understanding of themselves and their development needs so that they can get the most out of the courses. They will work on their development plans and address these development needs during their journey through the library.

Relationship Skills: The 12 Steps to High Performing Teams

During this module, participants learn to create and maintain good working relationships from the first handshake through the duration of the relationship. We discuss introductions, ways to remember names, how to create trust, how to network, and how to maintain relationships over time. We discuss specifics of stakeholders’ experiences and ways to maximize the emotional impact of those experiences. We also do hands on, experiential exercises to more effectively deal with real relationship issues, conflict, and adversarial situations.

We will explore the basics of teambuilding and how to create powerful, high performing teams.

Primal Safety: A Gut-Level Approach Using Emotional Intelligence to Enhance your Safety Program

This program caters to the “highly independent” alpha males in the construction industry. Brent demonstrates how a simple focus on emotional competencies can turn your safety program around. By tapping into the emotional part of safety, your employees will naturally work safer, instead of rebelling against rules and policies. The business will reap the financial benefit of them doing so, allowing the company to build a well-respected reputation around this increasingly important metric. The issue isn’t about your people knowing the safety guidelines; it’s about being motivated to actually follow them. This program provides that motivation.

Innovation and Creativity

The beginning of this module covers creativity and innovation, which is essential for finding new ways of working and being open to new ideas. Participants will learn how to break down the barriers to creativity in themselves and create a more innovative workplace. Then, we will cover emotional intelligence and marketing, finding the “why” in addition to the “what” and “how”. Participants will be able to use actual problems to explore how to approach problems creatively. We also teach participants how to use the Stanford “D” School method for innovative design and problem solving, which is very powerful.

Improvisation and Leadership/Emotional Intelligence and Marketing

We cover improvisation principles as they relate to leadership, communication, teamwork, and innovation. Participants will learn how to think on their feet, how to listen better, and how to embrace the concept of Yes, and. . . .

We then cover the emotional side of marketing and how people REALLY make buying decisions for AEC services. Hint: It’s not about price. Participants will learn how to create positive emotional experiences on their projects instead of a cold transaction and how this experience determines the next purchasing decision. Real case studies of other industries as well as the AEC industry that illustrate the truth of this approach.

Time Management & Systems Thinking

This learning module uses project scheduling, lean concepts and systems thinking and applies them to time management. We also cover how time management can affect stress levels and other areas of the participant’s life. We discuss how their emotional profiles affect their time management skills and how to modify those tendencies. We cover time wasters such as email, phone use, and meetings, clutter, and procrastination, and how to reduce the time wasted.

Workforce Development: How to Attract and Retain the Best People

Participants will learn what motivates people to perform and exceed expectations. They will apply these concepts in real world situations and come up with practical ideas to implement the very next day. The will experience the concepts from Daniel Pink’s book, Drive, which explains that autonomy, mastery, and purpose are the three main drivers for performance. Note: It has very little to do with money.

We will also cover diversity and inclusion and how to stretch the preconceptions of who should be in this industry. We start with exercises that illustrate our biases, both conscious and unconscious. We will see how diverse groups come up with better ideas and solutions and also learn what it means to be excluded. This goes far beyond just hiring more women and minorities and the group will shift their paradigm on the workforce issue.

Stress Management, Peak Performance, Wellness

This module starts with The Body Battery Inventory, which measures stress and recovery and the Symptom Survey, which reveals how your body is working based on physical symptoms. Participants will create a stress/recovery plan and look at how their Mini EI evaluations tie into their development plans, personal health and wellness, stress management and peak performance. We will cover sleep, nutrition, and exercise in great detail and give participants amazing stress reduction methods such as basic mindfulness techniques, breathing techniques, and meditation. We teach them to reduce stress where they can and build in more recovery activities throughout their day.

116




Presentation Skills; How do people perceive you?

Participants learn communication basics and pitfalls, then how to motivate and persuade others including all stakeholders in the construction process. They learn that communication is telling your story and listening to other’s stories, being fully present, and listening with understanding.

How do others perceive you? Participants increase their presentation skills using body, face, voice, energy, status, and movement. They learn how their use of body, face, voice, energy, status, and movement can influence others. They learn the basics of rhetoric to motivate others and the basic tools of motivation and persuasion. Participants will also learn storytelling basics as a way to sell more work. Participants learn about the importance of status and how to elevate and lower status based on the situation. We do hands on exercises and activity based learning.

Competitive AdvantageseTraining by Training Experts: Global eTraining is based upon 25 years of interactive asynchronous technical training experience in a

college setting with thousands of successful students every year. No other providers of online training materials for Autodesk software

have comparable training expertise. Global eTraining was created by Digital School, an Authorized Training Center and College licensed

with the Province of Alberta, Canada. Canada, and specifically Alberta, continually rate at the top of the charts for education standards

internationally.

Seamless flow of multiple learning styles: Global eTraining’s expertise is demonstrated within the courseware by the seamless flow of

multiple learning styles. It is a misconception that a checklist of audio + video + quiz = an equivalent training product. Global eTraining

understands when to use the appropriate learning style for each learning objective.

Global eTraining is two-way interactive training, where the learner is involved, engaged and in control. One-way, passive training – such

as video tutorials or online textbooks, has several limitations including engagement time, attention span, retention levels and ability to

repeat a skill in a project scenario.

Custom Learning Plans: Global eTraining is able administer an assessment of users software skills, then generate a custom learning plan

that links to the required eTraining content, so users can focus on the areas that require improvement and reduce their skill gaps. This

ensures the most relevant training for each person and no time or money wasted on redundant training. With completion of a post-as-

sessment, the skill improvement of each employee can be measured, which can be used for ROI calculations.

Ease of administration and robust reporting: Global eTraining uses a Learning Management System (LMS) with the optimum balance

of robust reporting and ease of administration. Most online training material providers do not use a sophisticated LMS and therefore

have little to no reporting functionality available. Those who do have an LMS with some reporting available, do not have the ability to

scale reports from a high-level view to detailed information and are not able to allow company-specific views or reports through a custom

administration portal, making reporting both tedious and restrictive. Global eTraining has scalable reports specifically available to each

company and each department.

Driving use and adoption through the Instructor Help Desk: Global eTraining’s objective is for users to engage with and learn from the

courses. We actively track usage and adoption and work with the organization to communicate the offering, the benefits and the meth-

odology. Our proactive Instructor Help Desk means that a learner is never stuck on their own, providing a social element of a real person

available to help.

Highest Value – Best product at the best price: Enterprise license pricing, available for larger organizations, provides a low entry point

for all-in access to the entire Course Library.

Implementing BIM throughout an organization is more than simply loading the right software onto the right devices. It is about educating an entire workforce about tools, processes and workflows to meet stringent standards, and then having them use the software timely, effectively, and on demand.

BIM implementation is no longer an option – governments and regulatory bodies globally are now mandating the use of BIM and making it a prerequisite for winning bids. In fact, from 2007 to 2012, BIM adoption in North America jumped from 28% to 71%1. In 2014, three quarters of contractors were using BIM globally, with the expectation that the next two years will see a 50% increase in the percentage of work using BIM2. Strengths of BIM modeling, such as the cloud-based central repository of all project elements, the ability for collaborators to access, add and amend elements on demand, and the whole-of-project viewability, are the same strengths that can provide a solid foundation for the development of any BIM training program.

One approach that has been proven successful for AEC organizations globally is the 4-Step BIM Training Solution. It reflects the BIM hierarchy of needs; meeting the basic software training and professional skills needs of the organization makes it possible to jump to the desired level of strategic initiatives, which determine a firm’s competitiveness. Global eTraining’s new white paper explores the challenges of BIM transformation, the role of training in achieving a successful BIM implementation, and the 4-step solution that can improve training outcomes.

Learning is more than watching a video or reading a book. You know the feeling when you watch a great action movie? You walk out of the theater, you try your best ninja kick (that was so well orchestrated in the movie), and pow, you are sitting on your bum on the sidewalk? We have all done it. Only 4% of people (3.9% if we are being exact) learn from video alone! Reading a book? Not much better, only 10% of people learn from reading alone.

People learn in a few different ways, or more correctly, in a combination of various methods. Many people call this VARK, short for Visual, Aural, Read/write, Kinesthetic. All learning falls into one of these methods and most learners need a combination of these learning styles to retain information. In fact, 64% of people require a combination of these methods to learn materials. Making matters even more complicated, when learners are hungry, tired, or stressed, their learning style and needs may change.
