The Amplio Capability Engineer Programs

Why you want to hire an ACE Partner as an FTE or contractor

ACE partners bring in more than expertise. They’ve all been trained in how to convey ideas to other people. This enables them to help others work together well. With Success Engineering’s Wonderful Wednesday program and your ACE’s access to Amplio’s materials, you can get as many people in your organization trained as you want.

Even if you want them just fulfill a role, there are always times where conveying new ideas is essential.

Why you want to use an ACE Partner as a consultant

One of the biggest challenges in hiring a consultant is what happens after they leave.

Consultants need to both work with people to collaboratively see what’s needed and to convey these concepts to those that don’t see it. It’s why we call these folks Capability Engineers – they know how to do both. They don’t do training isolation, but help create the system within which capability naturally grows 

ACE partners can work with your staff to create or extend your ability to train internally.

The ACE Capability Journey

The ACE Capability Journey is for lifelong learners who not only want to learn, but who want to participate in creating what’s next.

The Amplio System is an integration of proven concepts. Making it more effective requires a cohesive explanation as to how and why things work. Each quarter, a cutting edge topic is covered in parallel with going deeper in past topics. These are live, twice-weekly sessions that include Q&A sessions on any topic. People in this program can also take any of the guided learning journeys available. 

ACEs can use the materials they’ve learned license free at clients and their own company. The only restriction is they can’t offer pubic workshops with the materials unless they are also in the partner progam

The ACE Partner Program

The ACE Partner Program is for those consultants and trainers who want to add the Amplio system to their ability and their curriculum offering. It focuses on making good consultants great. It includes all of the materials in the “expanding what’s possible” and “guided learning journeys.” Its focus is not merely on the Amplio System but on how to improve organizations. Those in the program get access to use the materials they learn in a license-free manner. They are also expected to help promote new ways of being effective in general and in their organization in particular.  See The ACE Learning Journey for more.

ACE Partners can use the materials they’ve learned license free at clients and their own company. They can also offer public workshops at a low fee.

Do you get the sense that Agile is mired down and you want to help create what’s next?

Amplio is a system designed for thinkers not followers. Much of product development is still stuck with what we knew two decades. Amplio, is based on what our CEO, Al Shalloway, has integrated from most of the approaches out there.

The ACE program centers around:

• creating awareness of how Amplio can be used to greatly improve the ability of organizations to add value to their stakeholders
• creating great consultants
• creating a market for these consultants

The program is an ensemble effort for creating awareness of how to go beyond the learned helplessness seen in the Agile space. It includes all of the Amplio Learning Journeys while focusing on how ACEs can differentiate themselves in the crowded market.

It also provides ACEs with the means to deliver workshops on their own while helping promote them.

Members of ACE program are certified as warranted. They are supported by Al Shalloway in finding positions and in their work.

The tragedy of current product development methods- a note from Al Shalloway

As Agile has expanded, the challenges facing organizations that adopt it seem to have expanded as well. The tragedy of this is that almost all of the challenges I see organizations face are due to current Agile methods being based on Scrum, SAFe, and/or their derivatives. These methods do not incorporate modern practices in leadership, management, product management, coaching, and more.  The certification craze has led to slow adoption of modern techniques. I am committed to creating awareness that better methods, that are easier to adopt, and far less expensive, are available. Part of this requires creating awareness of what’s possible to overcome the learned helplessness that Agile has become.

The Amplio Consultant Educators Program is designed for those people who want to be part of the next wave of how to improve the ability of organizations.

Creating awareness for what’s possible can help you find work.

The world is inundated with mediocre methods. People talk about frameworks can work instead of looking to see what would make them work more often. Creating awareness as to why using the principles and practices in Amplio are a better approach than the popular frameworks can literally change the world.  If you’re looking for work, I’ll help you. Both with recommendations of you and recommendations on how to talk to hiring agents.

Working with internal consultants to help them get more results.

Part of the Amplio Learning Center is having ensemble consulting sessions. Those in the ACE program get both first crack at these opportunities as well as being able to provide the first line of coaching in them. This is a great way to learn – getting coached adn being coached in real life situations.
