Editor’s Letter
W
elcome to the third issue of Accelerate. This
issue focuses on a customised approach to the
things we do. When we tailor our products to
our prospective customers, when we create
plans that factor the people within the teams
that support us, when we create activities that
allow for modifications that suit our needs, it
ensures that we have a better fit between what we do and the results
we achieve.
We are thrilled to feature :• Tom Schafer who has created and/or facilitated over 115 learning
programmes and been the guiding force behind AmeriCredit’s
innovative institutionalisation of learning styles;
• Ray Pendleton who shares what organisational readiness for
change looks like;
• Deon van der Vyver who outlines how you can develop an
effective pay structure;
• Ron Thomas who argues the case for a good onboarding
programme because first impressions count
• and much more.
Accelerate is for anyone leading, coaching, engaging and growing
others.
Our focus is on all things related to the development, growth and
inspiration of people within teams and organisations. Accelerate aims
to create a balance between professional and personal development
and to have broad appeal whether you work in business,
government or academia, regardless of practice or industry.
This Issue
We hope that Accelerate will be an essential part of your professional
life.
