Join The Surge of Optimism in Learning
Learning executives ended 2010 with a surge of optimism and
are confident about the outlook and expectations for the learning function in 2011,
according to the latest measurement by the American Society for Training &
Development (ASTD). The Learning Executives Confidence Index surveyed 235
learning executives about their expectations in four areas: impact on corporate
performance, ability to meet learning needs, status as a key strategic
component and availability of resources.
What does this mean for you? If you’re a company that’s held back on its training initiatives for the last few years, it may be time to jump start your learning initiatives. Better yet, transform them with an online training solution!
Impact
on corporate performance.
A carefully crafted
E-Learning program will make an immediate impact on corporate performance when
you align your training course content with targeted learning objectives and
strategic business goals. Your online training program should be a direct
reflection of the skills and knowledge your employees need in order to thrive
in today’s emerging and competitive marketplace. Enhancing your sales function,
improving product knowledge and creating efficiencies are just a few of the
areas that can be positively impacted.
Are your learning needs being met?
Web-based training
is out-pacing traditional classroom training as the global delivery method of
choice for virtually every size and type of company. Chances are your learning
needs are not being met. However, converting your time, overhead and resources
to an online solution produces nothing but savings while creating a broader
educational outreach to employees, customers, students and everyone in your
training audience.
Key strategic training components.
Technology,
healthcare, manufacturing, distribution and educational training may vary in program
content and pool of learners, but their key strategic training objectives are
probably more similar than not. The organizational big picture typically
focuses on leadership advancement, succession planning, employee development and
pathways to growth. E-learning can help you reach, mentor and motivate your
team and can help ensure that your business success is everyone’s shared
responsibility.
Maximize your resources.
Despite the recent
surge in optimism, adhering to the budget is the reality for one and all, and
maximizing your resources is crucial to keeping costs in check. Training
translates to positive economic change, and E-Learning translates to reaching
more students with less administration. With online training, your project
leaders and training team can capitalize on the virtual training world, deliver
valuable, consistent course content, track student progress and translate the
data into meaningful metrics.
