Exceptional training for exceptional value resulting in exceptional outcomes
Before launching Agora Insights in 2017, I spent 20 years working in a variety of industries, both public and private. Throughout this period, the need for business analyst and business architect training was a recurring theme. Peers would frequently approach me for training, mentoring, and support as a result of my experience. There was a clear and growing need for training courses that would enable business analysis and architecture professionals to achieve their objectives through engaging, relevant, and informative course structures.
That's when the idea for Agora Insights was born. I wanted to provide a platform for business professionals to learn, grow their careers, and gain the insights and support they require to be successful. I saw an opportunity to put my real-world experience of responding to learners' needs and supporting them throughout their learning journey to good use.
When developing the foundations of Agora Insights' offerings, I concentrated on a few key elements that would maximise the value of the training and assist learners in setting and achieving their goals.
Those elements included:
Creating engaging content that is appropriately paced to keep motivation high and learners on track
Delivering training solutions that are specific and geared to the goals of the learner
Supporting different learning styles by utilising a diverse collection of training materials and methods
Agora Insights offers customised services to a niche market. The role of business analysts and architects is fundamentally to empower a business to deliver strategy, initiatives, and digital enhancement. Unfortunately, these critical roles are often left unsupported, and this is where we step in. Our current offerings include certification-based online training, coaching and mentoring, and bespoke training solutions. We pride ourselves on our excellent service and support to our learners and customers.
Since our inception, we are delighted to have served individuals and businesses in over 80 countries. We offer the kind of highly individualised, structured training that can make all the difference in learners reaching their goals. Most importantly, we are committed to supporting our learners at every step of their journey while providing the warm, inclusive welcome unique to New Zealand.
We are happy to look at your specific training needs, be they large or small, to maximise your individual, or team’s potential. Whether you’re looking to fill some knowledge gaps, create a Centre-of-Excellence, or obtain support on your digital transformation programme, our targeted training solutions can help.

Happy learning, everyone!
