What is our mission?  
How do we operate?

WCI Press publishes personal and professional development material on paper and on the Internet. Our focus is the working professional. We publish in English. We make all of our publications available in both a traditional paper form and as an e-book.

We are associated with Workplace Competence International Limited (WCI - www.wciltd.com), a consulting andprofessional development firm that has been in business since 1986. We started WCI Press in order to make some of the material that we have used in our practice available to a wider audience. The WCI web site contains a downloadable documents page that lists some of our working papers that you can access for free for your personal use (see our Terms of Use).

We are also associated with Infield Learning Resources, a firm that creates innovative resources and tools that help individuals gain more insight into themselves and improve their interpersonal skills. Infield's web site describes their products and approaches.

Our 2005 - 2006 publication plan will see us bring out workbooks on:

  • providing effective feedback in the workplace,
  • developing effective performance contract and performance appraisal methods,

  • managing and dealing with conflict in the workplace,
  • participating effectively in meetings (The Meeting Styles™ series of workbooks),

  • making IT sourcing and management decisions for the managers and owners of small to medium sized business.

The WCI Press Competency Styles™ workbooks were designed based on a set of design principles that we will re-use in some of our future publications. Please click Shere if you are interested in reading them.

 

WCI Press follows the following guidelines in working with its authors and distributors.

  1. All our publications will be published on paper and on the web. Individuals will be able to access the media format that suits their needs. To facilitate this, we will establish a web site for each set of books that we publish.
    .
  2. The audience for our books is the working professional who reads English. As a result, we edit our publications so that they can be used by individuals who are motivated to increase their self awareness, their personal knowledge, and their personal skills.
    .
  3. We are delighted to work with adult development professionals who want to distribute or to use our materials. We will use volume discounts to make it attractive to do so. We will work out win-win arrangements that allow you to access to the workshop and other material that support our publications. Please contact us if you want to do this.
    .
  4. As a small press, we focus on the material that we publish. We work with our authors to design our books so that they can be published on paper and on the Internet. We work with outside partner firms to print and to distribute our publications. We make this a seamless experience for our customers, so that they are do not need to deal with multiple organizations.
    .
  5. We are also delighted to work with organizations who want to customize our publications for their internal use. We will help train your trainers and make arrangements with you to print and to distribute our publications inside your organization. Please contact us if you want to do this.
