Oracle 10g:Training Rewarded

Oracle say Database 10g is their most innovative release, leading the database industry into entirely new ground in clustering, automation, high availability and more.

New automation capabilities can decrease the cost of database administration - but training is essential to get the most from 10g. More >>>


Taking Control of your Inbox and Time

More and more we are being run by our email Inbox.  To quote a phrase, 'We are drowning in a digital deluge'.  For many workers it is now routine to have hundreds of unread emails in their inbox just waiting for when they 'get time'.  This just won't happen!

The average executive loses six weeks per year retrieving misplaced information from messy desks and - more commonly- mismanaged computer files. The cost in salary and lost productivity is enormous. More >>>  


Diversity in the workplace

Diversity in business is much wider than the familiar race or gender issues.  At its core is the capacity of managers to influence all staff in understanding and working to achieve their organizational goals whether in the Public or Private sectors. More >>>


Motivation and Personal Development

Social and personal competencies are vital for a healthy and productive life. Self-awareness, optimism, and empathy can enhance satisfaction and productivity at work and in other aspects of life.

The workplace is the ideal setting for the promotion of these competencies in adults because work plays a central role in their lives. Not only do most of us spend the largest portion of our waking time at work, but our identity, self-esteem, and well-being are strongly affected by our work experiences. More >>>

Oracel 10g:Training Rewarded

Oracle say Database 10g is their most innovative release, leading the database industry into entirely new ground in clustering, automation, high availability and more.

New automation capabilities can decrease the cost of database administration - but training is essential to get the most from 10g.

Ease of management heads the list of requirements for moving stressed IT administrators into deploying new systems and Database 10g provides a number of tools that will mitigate technical risk and data grooming issues.

One key feature is the Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor, which keeps a running snapshot allowing users return to events that might be associated with exceptional situations. Administrators can view data in context, such as SQL statements being issued against the database at the actual time of the observed behavior. This contrasts with previous versions and many other database platforms.

Other features such as Unified Task Scheduler and improved Flashback Query operations make 10g a product which rewards the devotion of training time to becoming familiar with its capabilities.

Professional Training offer a range of Oracle training programmes which can be customised to the specific requirements of our clients and offered nationwide.  Click here or contact us for more details.

Diversity in the workplace

Diversity in business is much wider than the familiar race or gender issues.  At its core is the capacity of managers to influence all staff in understanding and working to achieve their organizational goals whether in the Public or Private sectors.

Many diversity management courses show only the positive side of having a diverse workforce; no conflicts, no misunderstandings, no organisational change or compromise. These courses regard new employees as exactly the same as existing staff; but with the peculiarity of, for example, not being Irish or perhaps having a disability. The reality is that a badly managed, diverse workforce can be a source of conflict rather than synergy. However, if an organisation wants to compete in the Irish and global economy, these challenges must be acknowledged and managed.

When we learn to use diversity in the workplace, rather than shying away from it, we move from 'not knowing what to expect' from staff, to expecting high performance from all staff.'  Our Profiting from Diversity course addresses these key issues.

Motivation and Personal Development

Social and personal competencies are vital for a healthy and productive life. Self-awareness, optimism, and empathy can enhance satisfaction and productivity at work and in other aspects of life.

The workplace is the ideal setting for the promotion of these competencies in adults because work plays a central role in their lives. Not only do most of us spend the largest portion of our waking time at work, but our identity, self-esteem, and well-being are strongly affected by our work experiences.

Research  has also shown that the workplace is also an ideal place for promoting social and emotional competencies because it often is there that people feel their lack most keenly (ref. EI Consortium). When people realize that social and emotional abilities hold the key to greater career success, they become eager to develop those abilities. At the same time, as employers recognize that their profit depends on the emotional intelligence of their employees, they become amenable to launching programs that will increase it.

Our Motivation and Personal Development course recognises the importance of motivation to personal development within an organisation, by teaching participants the core components that underlie a positive approach to work life
