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

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

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.
