What We Do

SmartGlobal helps managers and professionals reinvent careers by acquiring knowledge.

Program Need

The greatest threat of professionals in corporate life is the obsolescence of their know-how, primary tool by which they add value to an organization. The following graphic depicts the need of professionals to constantly reinvent themselves.

In a hyper-competitive globalized economy every professional has occasionally ‘felt’ that his professional ‘reinvention’ is lagging behind the pace of change in industry. The following graph highlights the source of this threat.

Professional knowledge has a half-life. Half of our professional knowledge will be obsolete in the next 2 to 8 years. Best defense against the threat of knowledge obsolescence is to acquire new knowledge assets to increase professional value, utility, and relevance. Forward-thinking professionals are always in search of new ways to broaden their horizons, expand their skills, and achieve new levels of organizational and professional success. SmartGlobal makes this easy. SG provides the wherewithal you need to advance your career.

Value Propositon
