Wiley (NYSE:
JWa, JWb) is pleased to announce a new partnership with The 6Ds Company,
a leading provider of innovative strategies, workshops and tools for
improving corporate training and workplace learning and development
(L&D).
By combining Wiley’s global reach and wide range of L&D products with
The 6Ds Company’s pioneering model for designing and delivering training
tools and workshops the companies are in a stronger position to deliver
robust, comprehensive, and practical content to learning professionals
worldwide.
The partnership builds on the growing popularity of The
Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning (originally
published by Pfeiffer – A Wiley Imprint in 2010), widely hailed as one
of the most important books of the past decade in L&D. The Six
Disciplines introduces a comprehensive approach to designing,
delivering, and evaluating L&D programs. It also spawned the development
of live and online workshops, which have been adopted by hundreds of
companies worldwide and is increasingly recognized as a new standard in
corporate L&D.
Building on the workshops’ rising popularity and enrollment, Wiley and
The 6Ds Company will collaborate to expand workshop offerings around the
world, develop 6Ds-related content and tools delivered through a variety
of media, broaden awareness for the groundbreaking approach to learning
transfer in organizations, and further differentiate Wiley in the L&D
market.
“We are delighted to deepen our ongoing relationship with Wiley, the
leading provider of professional development resources in the L&D
field,” said Andrew Jefferson, President and Chief Executive Officer for
The 6Ds Company. “We are confident the partnership with Wiley will make
The 6Ds Model and Workshops even stronger and more accessible. We look
forward to jointly creating new and innovative products that achieve the
mission of driving learning transfer and producing tangible business
results from training”
“Wiley is proud to partner with The 6Ds Company and its proven and
popular 6Ds model,” said Wiley Vice President Debra Hunter, “and
thrilled to have the opportunity to work together to expand 6Ds products
and services around the world.”
