Our learning philosophy

Value, Flow, Quality (VFQ)

At Emergn, we believe that people and companies can improve the way they work and achieve better outcomes by following three guiding principles:

Value

Deliver VALUE early and often

Flow

Optimize the FLOW of work end to end

Quality

Discover QUALITY with fast feedback

Together, these principles reflect a pragmatic philosophy of the world of work that you can apply to transform your business or to grow professionally. To help you along the journey, we developed and continue to refine a trusted set of models, techniques, and tools, along with unique guidance on concepts, frameworks, and methods. We call it VFQ.

Discovery mindset

This is a new way of thinking about not just customers and markets, but the context around them and the way that work is actually done internally. Instead of applying the old ways of working over and over again, adopting this way of thinking means shaking things up and turning to a discovery-focused, agile approach that emphasizes continuous learning. In turn, producing more intuitive, context-sensitive, personalized solutions.

On the left are a series of 9 traits for a fixed mindset and on the right are the equivalent for a discovery mindset. There are 4 highlights in the right column that are identified as key to move from a fixed mindset to a discovery mindset.

Work-based learning

There are obvious and not-so-obvious reasons why earning on the job is a superior approach to traditional training. Instead of being broadly generic, it’s tailored to real projects. It has instant impact because new ideas and skills are practiced right there and then. And it means all that new information is more easily retained. The principles of work-based learning may have been around for decades. But they are more relevant now that there’s more emphasis on upskilling and adding continuous development.

I finally have a framework for progressing from idea to outcome. This has been the best training I’ve been given in product development. I not only have a path to follow; I also can recognize when a process is going badly due to skipping crucial steps. So much is clear now.
