Local visionaries FRANKIE TSANG and MILLS WONG are nurturing talent to <\/span>empower future generations of leaders with invaluable skills to expand their <\/span>capacities, broaden their horizons and turbo-boost their productivity.<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

Frankie Tsang is an inspired soul on a mission. His cause is simple \u2013 to show people how they can be more than they think they are, to reach beyond the possible, to dream and make those dreams come true.<\/p>\n

Born in competitive Hong Kong, he was tempered by Asia\u2019s most aggressive market, learnt skills-training with major local and foreign companies Tsang spotted an opportunity.<\/p>\n

Backed by a rich tapestry of wide experience, Tsang struck out on his own and created Rock Training, as a simple, yet powerful concept that\u2019s rapidly gaining growing acceptance in Hong Kong and South China.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur programs also address \u2018why learners can\u2019t exercise\u2019 even if they know the skills. We cater for learners not only with skillset and toolset, but also mindset as well\u201d – Mills Wong<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What ROCK is for?\u00a0 <\/span><\/h3>\n

Tsang explains: \u201cROCK, in ancient period, can be used for making fire, hunting for foods, building houses or even playing music. For intellectual heritage, ROCK is interpreted to be a Yan Shi ( \u7814\u77f3), which is used to grinding ink for writing and painting in ancient China. It was the means that helps people inherit and transfer their wisdom and arts to next generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLike Yan Shi, ROCK Training Consultants serve as the means to transfer knowledge and wisdom in companies and communities.\u00a0 <\/span>We are committed to unboxing people\u2019s latent talents for personal achievements at work and for sustainability of corporations through the building of a leadership pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cROCK provides people development services to the corporations in Greater China and has been helping over 180 clients on which over 90% of them have given us repeat business. Every year, we train up over 6,500 staff for the corporations across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Empirical Application \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mills Wong is a registered industrial and organizational psychologist with a Masters in Organisational Psychology. Having served in several Fortune 500 companies, he brings to ROCK a wide range of diverse skill-sets garnered over years of uncovering potentials.<\/p>\n

\u201cRock is particularly strong in formulating instructional system design by adopting empirical application approach, through which, we translate empirical research of psychology into practices for application in authentic setting. All programs of ROCK are well grounded and examined in application,\u201d Wong says.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOther than addressing \u2018how to do\u2019 when learners don\u2019t know the skills, our programs also address \u2018why learners can\u2019t exercise\u2019 even if they know the skills. We cater for learners not only with skillset and toolset, but also mindset as well\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

According to Wong, spoon-feeding or a generic delivery method is no longer effective to the experienced trainees and new generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe delivery method of ROCK must comprise fun and insight. We believe people learn and memorize better when they are delighted and stimulated by experience. Hence, ROCK delivers training programs through simulation and experiential activities that get learners highly engaged and inspires them to learn from experience through facilitation.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Learning Technology\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cBusiness environment changes faster and faster with the advancement of technology,\u201d says Tsang, adding, \u201cthis drives ROCK to develop our service with digitalization. Hence, we established a sister company called \u201c3 Circles VR Learning Solutions\u201d to invent new ways of knowledge transfer through application of new technology such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). Moreover, we adopt motion graphic and micro-learning videos to present knowledge and skills in different ways so that learners can gain more authentic experience in a risk-free environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also extend our reach to Asia and develop new services of Learning Analytics so that we established another sister company called \u201cLIME Knowledge Technology Asia\u201d.

Tsang says that a new learning brand, LoooK, is created to deliver one-stop learning solutions through LIME, 3 Circles and ROCK.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder LoooK, the 3 companies play different roles. ROCK is responsible for off-line learning experience and creation of learning contents. 3 Circles is focused on on-line learning production.
