Paradigm Strategy Group’s programs are constructed around core concepts that help ensure consistency of quality and effectiveness.  Paradigm training achieves lasting results because: 

ü      Courses are practical.  Paradigm’s training focus is not on theory nor are the courses designed to produce financial engineers or “quants”.  Rather, the goal of the courses is to provide a broad spectrum of energy professionals with practical, useful knowledge and skills that will prepare them to better understand the impact of risk in today’s rapidly changing energy marketplace.

ü      Lessons center on the unique nature of the energy business.  As former line managers and dealers, Paradigm instructors know that it is not enough for course participants just to learn about generic risk management tools.  Paradigm courses concentrate on educating participants about the specific applications of these financial products within the physical context of the energy business

ü      Learning is proactive.  Paradigm recognizes that people learn best by doing.  For this reason, Paradigm courses are constructed as interactive discussions, backed by role-playing and problem solving exercises.  The result is a free exchange of ideas that engages each participant and energizes the learning process.

ü      Learning extends beyond the classroom through comprehensive manuals.  Every Paradigm course is supported by a comprehensive study guide that fully documents the ideas presented during classroom instruction.  This allows course participants to stay focused and engaged in the classroom discussion.

ü      Programs are regularly updated.  Paradigm instructors are meticulous in ensuring that all courses take account of the latest developments in the volatile world of energy deregulation.

ü      Programs are tailored to a client’s needs.  With every individualized training program, Paradigm strives to ensure that clients are optimizing their training time and training dollar.  Courses are designed to meet specific company requirements, providing participants with the knowledge needed to reach required skill levels in the most efficient manner.
