Why us
Sometimes you have to run to keep up
New Intelligence is an Australian company that has spent the last decade researching how and why people get better at what they do when it matters.
We were born out of mission critical organisations and still provide cutting edge programs to the elite levels of law enforcement, defence, compliance, intelligence and national security agencies. We now take the same science and applications to a wide variety of public and private sector organisations and individuals at an enterprise, corporate and personal level.
For over a decade we have been building a “blue-chip” client base by designing training programs from the ground up. We then deliver those programs for organisations that want more than a tick in the box. We don’t market, and we don’t advertise. We are not the biggest training company in Australia, but we are unique, and we are careful who we work with. We rely on our high retention by current customers, referrals from them to new customers and we live and die by our reputation.
We are unique in the Australian training landscape because we:
• develop all our own programs from the ground up
• use our own delivery methodology
• leverage the latest science and research
• update our programs twice a year
• require that your commitment is written in our contract
• tell our clients about complaints made about us
• believe people can be better but not everyone wants to be
• understand learning outcomes on courses don’t usually translate to behavioural changes in the workplace
• know off the shelf training has failed, it belongs in the last decade
• are certain you get what you pay for but you won’t get what you want if you’re not sure what that is

“In the past few decades, researchers have uncovered and road-tested a host of techniques that deepen learning – techniques that remain largely unknown outside scientific circles. These approaches aren’t get-smarter schemes that require computer software, gadgets, or medication. Nor are they based on any grand teaching philosophy intended to lift the performance of entire classrooms (which no-one has done, reliably). On the contrary, they are all small alterations in how we study or practice that we can apply individually, in our own lives, right now. The hardest part in doing so may be trusting that they work. That requires some suspension of disbelief because this research defies everything we been told about how best to learn.”

How We Learn – The Surprising Truth about When, Where and Why it Happens
In 2005 we started out as a training company with a single client. That client justified our existence but expected us to deliver the type of content that was acceptable to a government department at that time. By 2007 we were frustrated with not only the lack of results in the workplace our training achieved, but also how all our clients accepted these results. We started thinking of better ways to train people. We started looking for the science to support our ideas and the people to help us bring them to life.
For many years now, we have drawn extensively on research and our partners to develop courses that are not only the best in the country, but in many cases, exclusive to us and not offered by any other provider. Our training philosophy dictates that we are specialists in customising and contextualising our core programs for specific organisational situations. Our uncompromising assessment methodologies go well beyond many recognised qualification and competency providers. In most cases our clients have been with us for over a decade and will attest to our reputation for being able to deliver lasting results where others have not.
We hope you enjoy the experience that we intend for our website. We do not intend for it to be a sales tool. We do not believe it should convince you that we are the answer to your problem. We want it to be somewhere for you to explore and see if we are worth your interest and effort. If you are interested and prepared to expend a small amount of time, contact us and we will come and meet with you. We have the research, the applications, the people and the nerve to help you improve in entirely new ways.
