Entrepreneurship Development and Training

FTT@580 is founded on principles that are powering today’s Knowledge Economy. Historic skills and static education are loosing currency value at a faster rate in comparison to the rate of technological change. This is why FTT@580 focuses on client-centric training programmes steeped in creating learning and entrepreneurial organisations in which managers are positioned as new knowledge researchers and designers rather than traditional controllers and overseers.
Entrepreneurship is a culture. It strives on all levels within an organisation or it embodies the individual’s holistic life style. This involves organic learning and acquisition of new knowledge and unlearning obsolete skills.
FTT@580 works with organisations to help them formulate strategies to extract maximum creative and innovative benefits embedded in their employees in an age where more people, especially the best educated and most skilled, increasingly see themselves as sole proprietors of their skills and abilities – free agents.

These range from policies/red tape, limited size of reward, short-term orientation, lack of competition, emphasis on equity of efficiency, difficulty in defining the customer, reward system that penalises failure, etc. FTT@580 has dedicated enormous amount of time and skills investigating these and more issues in the public and social sectors.
