Kaplan Genesis is a leading provider of professional development solutions managed by highly qualified and experienced professionals who are passionate about the delivery of relevant, high quality and effective professional development.

Genesis Institute was founded as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) training provider in 2008. The institute has since expanded its portfolio to a range of learning solutions. From the time of its inception, the institute has taken immense pride in having developed over 3,000 participants, demonstrating a high level of quality and commitment to training in the Middle East and Africa.

In February 2017, following this successful and sustained growth in the region, Genesis Institute was acquired by Kaplan, a leader in training the world’s aspiring business professionals for more than 70 years, to form Kaplan Genesis.

The combination of Kaplan’s distinguished learning heritage and global reach with Genesis Institute’s local reputation and experience provides exciting opportunities to build a highly competitive offering.

Kaplan Genesis represents a balanced approach to leadership and professional development that combines the enhancement of technical competence and behavioral confidence, enabling better decision making by individuals, teams and organizations.

As Kaplan Genesis we continue our commitment to helping our participants achieve their educational and professional goals. The two main forces responsible for our success - Passion and Quality - remain and that is the promise we will continue to deliver with our progressive solutions.

Innovative ASSESSMENT AND MEASUREMENT

to Close Performance Gaps

Kaplan Genesis begins its program design process by gaining an in-depth understanding of your business needs and priorities. Our goal is to develop effective tactical and strategic decision-making at all levels of your organization through a customized approach.

We evaluate and quantify the aspects of the program that you value the most; whether it’s improved performance, greater technical understanding, or behavioral changes.

Our assessment mechanisms clearly identify areas of improvement and provide the specific tools you need to teach your decision makers new skills, hone existing talents or close ability gaps. We address and provide for both behavioral and technical assessment goals.

ASSESSMENT PROCESS

Pre-program

An early evaluation analysis is implemented for your organization that will be leveraged to efficiently spend your budget on identified learning and skill gaps within your employee population.

The most vital component to ensuring any development program’s success is to accurately assess and identify the specific areas that need addressing. Otherwise, your organization is blindly spending money without validating that your investment has reached its intended destination or desired outcome.

We assess both the behavioral and the technical competencies of your people so that our programs can efficiently address and connect the individual to the situation in which they need to perform.

TeamAssess how groups interact and make decisions, as well as

examine how technical and behavioral issues inform each other.

OrganizationObserve how the organization is structured and what processes

and practices shape the internal behaviors and actions.

Broader environmentSurvey the competitive landscape to assess the social, political, and economic factors at play.
