Most people who work in corporate organisations would agree that L&D departments are chronically overworked and constantly have too many things happening at the same time. Well, there is good news, you can make life easier while saving money at the same time — switch to eLearning. The first step should be looking around and seeing which of your trainings can be moved to eLearning. Things like compliance training, workshops, trainings on policies, product knowledge courses are just a few examples. By offering eLearning to your staff will not only allow the training department to have more time for other important functions, but will also save you a lot of money in the long run, and will offer the opportunity for continuous training and re-training without any additional cost.
Hiring a professional like me will most likely pan out to be a great business decision because I have a unique set of skills not necessarily found easily within your organisation. Sure, there is an administrative component of planning and executing training but there is expertise required in developing a curriculum that balances the needs of employees, understanding of compliance and requirements of licensing and certification, and I will improve the soft skills of the entire company. Finally, I have the technical knowledge to produce and deliver the training at a world class level.
Often times, clients have a perspective on how to solve the problem they are facing but want to make sure that what they’re thinking is correct (or that they aren’t so close to the challenge that they’re missing the obvious answer). So, they turn to consultants to come in and provide their opinion.
It often takes an authoring tool to produce quality learning experiences. If you work with true professionals like me, that makes sure that your learning solution is designed using the best tool for the job.
I have noticed that sometimes, when companies are working on a challenging problem or a controversial project, it can be hard for the managers to make decisions or take the necessary actions without getting entangled in emotions or politics. So, they bring in consultants like me to provide an unbiased eye and do some of the dirty work for them. So, if you are interested, feel free to reach out to me. I’m more than happy to help.
