TechMaine Roadmaps to Success

Leadership, Project Management, and Sales Roadmaps
 

Complementing our IT, desktop and professional development self-paced courses, we also offer roadmaps to success. Leadership, Project Management, and Sales are broken down into competencies and skills that are critical for success, and then within each competency, we identify the e-Learning courses and video series that will strengthen it. You can work your way through the entire roadmap, or pick and choose the skills that you want to improve. Either way, the Roadmaps will take you to the next level in your success. Click on the titles below to learn more about each roadmap.

Leadership Roadmap™

Building leaders is a complicated task. It requires the integration of skills, knowledge, and demonstrated potential. TechMaine's MindLeaders Leadership Roadmap™ provides a plan for building strong new leaders with the right competencies and the most effective tools for gaining the needed experience.

  • Personal Skills - Learn the skills that will make a great leader. Integrity and values, time management and career management.
  • People Skills - Leaders do more than manage their employees, they inspire, motivate and encourage them to grow. Learn skills such as project management, team management, listening, conflict resolution and more.
  • Organizational Skills - To lead a team, leaders must first understand their place in the organization as a whole. This portion of the Leadership Roadmap™ will teach recruitment, retention, succession planning, diversity and other business essential skills.

 

Project Management Roadmap™

How effectively your organization manages business initiatives speaks volumes to your senior executives, managers, stakeholders, partners, and customers. Marketplace competitiveness relies on having an adequate supply of talented and capable project managers. In the absence of these project managers, deadlines and opportunities are missed, operating costs exceed budgets and product quality is compromised.

  • Manage Your Projects - Learn the core project management skills, such as project execution and quality management to estimating and scheduling resources.
  • Facilitate Teamwork - Working and guiding other people is one of the toughest skills to master. We'll show you the way with course topics ranging from team leadership to maximizing communication.
  • Build your Network & Portfolio - Tracking the progress of a project is only half of project management. Keeping stakeholders up to date, building relationships that will aid in task completion and delegating tasks across your team are covered in this roadmap.

 

Sales Roadmap™

Sales is oxygen for every organization. Without cash flow coming in, no other work is possible. Selling isn't just about presenting a product and price. It involves many skills, from networking to negotiating to problem-solving. TechMaine's MindLeaders Sales Roadmap™ provides a guide to the skills that drive sales excellence, and the courses that will develop them.

  • The Sales Process - A step-by-step approach to engaging potential customers and demonstrating why your product is the best choice.
  • Cultivating New Business - Learn the importance of building a personal network and how to use those connections to find new potential customers.
  • Finding Solutions - Discover new toolsets that will aid the sales team with problem solving, communicating and delivering effective messages.
