Navigate Academy is an online training platform developed exclusively for systems integration and related technology companies.
Our mission is to help you achieve better business results.
Introducing the
Navigate
Academy
At last, there’s an online training program specifically designed for systems integrators and their technology partners.
Over the last decade, the audiovisual integration industry has seen monumental advances in technology and systems. With those advances come more difficult challenges when it comes to selling and managing multiple overlapping projects, which themselves have grown more complex and require greater coordination and collaboration among numerous entities.
Companies are struggling to align the disciplines of portfolio management (strategy), project management (effectiveness), process management (efficiency) and people management (performance). The Navigate Academy addresses all of these disciplines based on proven best practices, bringing maturity and sustainability to your company, reducing the chaos, drama and redo with your business, ultimately increasing profits and morale.
What is the
Navigate
Academy?
The Academy is designed on discrete lesson plans presented at once a month. Each lesson plan brings a new theme – each containing a live webinar, an action item and quiz aligned to the lesson plan, plus a supporting podcast. For those with a competitive streak, there’s also a way to accumulate points and rewards.
Live Webinar
The foundation of each lesson plan is the live 45-minute webinar. All webinars are hosted by Brad Malone. If you miss the live webinar – no problem! All our webinars are recorded and can be accessed by members on demand.
Points and Rewards
As you progress through each lesson plan, you earn points, and our program gives you rewards and recognition for your achievements.
Project Management Institute Certification Renewal
Each completed monthly lesson plan will be eligible to receive a Project Management Institute® Professional Development Unit (PDU) towards Project Management Professional® (PMP) certification renewal or an Education Unit towards PMP eligibiity requirements.
Action Item
Each lesson plan includes a homework assignment and a quiz, based on the webinar. The purpose of the action item is to help you put the ideas from the webinar into action. Learn by doing.
Podcasts
In our ten-minute podcasts, we explore the theme for each month, and learn from our peers. We talk with subject matter and industry experts, who share lessons and examples about their businesses.
AVIXA Certification Renewal
Each completed monthly lesson plan will be eligible to receive an AVIXA® Renewal Unit (RU) towards Certified Technology Specialist (CTS) recertification.

why they are important
I’ve had the privilege of working with and knowing Brad since I began with AVIXA in 2013. Over the years he’s been an instrumental part of helping our industry succeed as a partner to AVIXA and to hundreds of our members. You will learn more than you can imagine with him and perhaps the most important lesson being, in his own words, ‘hard work, courage, perseverance and a willingness to take personal responsibility triumphs’. Brad and his team are eminently suited to teach just these lessons
