At 50Fold we develop lean services and tools to increase the productivity of knowledge workers by transforming their daily working. We believe that programs can only be truly effective if they are welcomed and enthusiastically adopted by the users.
Everything we do is quantifiable and sustainable - so we guarantee results. Why can we be so confident? Because our programs are what you and your employees want - a better way of working.
Cognition
Every individual who completes this program will be able to make quicker and better decisions, because they'll absorb more information, faster. They will find continuing professional development easier and more rewarding, as they benefit from greater knowledge, gained in less time. We are confident that participants will more than double their reading speed, based on objective measures of reading speed and understanding, taken before, during and after the program.
For individuals with English as a second language, this program substantially increases their reading speed and understanding of documents, articles and emails in English.
Objectives
- Double your reading speed
- Improve your understanding and recall
- Read more easily and effectively on-screen
Progress without compromise
Reading efficiently is not skimming; there is no compromise involved. We help you become a fast and efficient reader by learning skills that supplant the limited approach you learned at primary school. The program uses new ideas and principles proven over the last fifty years.
Relevant and inspiring
We take an informal but focused approach to building these faster, more effective reading techniques. Participants use our own practical exercises and The Reader's Edge program to unlearn the habits that have slowed them down in the past and help them become Fluent Readers.
Focused on professional reading
We assess and develop the two different types of reading that we use for work and study:
- explicit : You are seeking to extract details, dates, figures, facts
- implicit : You are developing an understanding of new ideas; grasping the big picture
