FROM LEARNING TO PRACTICE
Move the
needle.
In the real
world.
The value of learning shows up in the work.
A clearer decision. A stronger conversation. A team that works better together. Nova connects professional learning to the projects, people, and challenges in front of you, with time to reflect, test ideas, and put them into practice.
Four ways to work with Nova
Choose the simplest starting point.
You do not need to design the entire partnership on day one. Start with the delivery model that fits your audience now, then expand.
-
Best for smaller teams, schools and organizations that want a focused series or the full library without building a custom environment.
Typical fit: 20–199 learners.
-
Nova hosts a branded destination for your learners, with selected content and new releases. We agree learner access and completion reporting as part of your program.
Typical fit: 200+ learners.
-
You already have learning infrastructure and want Nova content delivered inside your own LMS or enterprise learning environment. Content rights, packaging and delivery are agreed during scoping.
Typical fit: 500+ learners.
-
Nova packages existing expertise or develops new courses to fill a curriculum, professional-practice, product or capability gap.
Can be added to any delivery model.
OPTIONAL ACTIVATION
Turn the content into a cohort.
Add a guided 4–6 week experience with a live kickoff, a focused on-demand series, Pause & Apply work, a live closing discussion or workshop, and a completion summary.
Cohorts are useful for launching an initiative, driving participation, or testing demand before a larger annual license. This live layer can be added to any delivery model.
GUIDED LEARNING FOR TEAMS · 4–6 WEEKS
Learn together.
Put it to work.
Bring a group through a focused course series on a shared schedule, with live conversations and practical work that connects the learning to your organization.
A cohort is a group of learners working through the same program together. Nova combines flexible on-demand courses with facilitated sessions, so participants can learn at their own pace and come together to discuss, practice and apply what they learn.
Set a shared goal
A live opening session introduces the topic, the schedule and the challenge your group will work on.
Build the foundation
Participants complete a selected Nova course series on demand between live sessions.
Use it in real work
Pause & Apply exercises connect the lessons to participants’ projects, decisions and working relationships.
Turn learning into next steps
A closing discussion or workshop brings the group together to share insights and identify practical actions.
WHAT THIS COULD LOOK LIKE
A collaboration program for a project team.
Combine communication, negotiation and architect-contractor collaboration courses. Use the closing workshop to identify changes to meeting habits, handoffs and project communication.
Start with one group and one goal.
We help select the courses, shape the schedule and plan the live sessions. Your organization receives a completion summary at the end. Cohorts can support a team initiative, a university program or a partner audience, and can be added to any Nova delivery model.
