McTimothy Global Learning™

The McTimothy Global Learning™ involves a critical analysis of and engagement with complex, interdependent global systems and legacies (such as natural, economic, physical, social, cultural, technological, and political) and their implications for people’s lives and the earth’s sustainability. Through McTimothy Global Learning™, which is aimed at adult learners in our context case via Executive Education on a global scale, our executive learners should:

• Become more informed, open-minded, and responsible global citizens who are attentive to innovation and diversity across the spectrum of differences.
• Seek to understand how their decisions and actions affect both local and global communities in which they operate.

• Learn global best practices, acceptable principles and thought leadership from subject matter experts (SMEs)
• Address the world’s most pressing and enduring issues in a collaborative and equitable manner.
• Learn global best practices, apply them locally, and scale up their leadership/business for the benefit of mankind 

What is Global Learning™ at McTimothy?

At McTimothy Associates, Our Global Learning™ is a form of learning that happens abroad, outside of your country of residence where you have ample opportunities to network, compare notes/management thoughts, and best-in-class management/leadership practices. There are many expressions and manifestations of global learning from an andragogical point of view. A global learning experience could be a course that engages broad international perspectives and issues or regions, management practices in managing business ops, leading people, cultures, or both.

Regardless of the setting in which McTimothy’s learners experience global learning, our delegates are expected to “be open-minded, demonstrate knowledge and awareness of different cultural and management practices, values, beliefs, and worldviews and an understanding of their own cultural perspective; communicate effectively and respectfully with individuals and leaders from different backgrounds and across a multicultural society; demonstrate curiosity, collaboration, creativity, flexibility, adaptability, and tolerance for diversity, ambiguity; understanding themselves and others as cultural beings, understanding the implied values and assumptions that underlie cultural norms and traditions”.

At McTimothy Associates Global Learning™, there are many examples of global learning programs and experiences, and our faculties work separately and together to address common global learning challenges and to develop and share management best practices.

Getting Started with Global Learning™

We organize the global courses and design them to address three or four levels of managers – the entry-level managers, middle, senior and board-level executives, stopping at key moments to reflect—even though we call the process “backward design,” in practice, your thinking will move back and forth along your expected timeline to inform your plan. Please contact the Faculty at McTimothy Associates’ Global Learning™ Team to discuss interest and specific courses of interest suitable for your Group/Team

Questions to keep in mind as you get started:

• What do I want my executives to be able to do, know, or value by taking a globally focused course or participating in a global learning experience?
• How will my executives be different and better after this learning experience?
• What evidence will learners provide to show they have changed?

• How can we assess global learning experience/impact on our managers?
