About College of Practice Professors

The College of Practice Professors is a peak body for professionals for whom knowledge and learning are key components of leadership. In most professional sectors in Australia, both information and technology – knowledge are central to competitiveness. Staff competitiveness-enhancing capabilities are acquired through the facilitated learning of new knowledge. Skills (or competency) training, by comparison, enables staff to effectively perform routine processes, but does not lead to differentiation, innovation or dynamic capabilities. Effective leaders must be adroit at driving capability development through learning. This requires a deep understanding of the learning and knowledge acquisition process, as well as being personally knowledgeable. With this need in mind, the College has been established to support the development of learning leadership skills through unique and proprietary learning materials and an extensive personal development support environment. The College operates at the highest standards possible in all areas. The College principals have conducted years of research to establish the foundations of the College and have created a complete inventory of all of the capabilities a learning leader may possess. This inventory has been used to develop the College's diagnostic tools, personal development support services and learning materials which provide a distilled essence and practice-based exposure to these topics, in an engaging workshop format. All materials are delivered face-to-face by highly trained presenters who have extensive personal experience and annually complete a rigourous updating process. The personal development support services (which are part of college membership) have been carefully developed to be entertaining, underpin this experience and combine to create the highest-quality learning experiences possible for discerning members.
