We show you how to strategically align learning to the needs of the business for maximum impact. Over the years, we have helped businesses around the world with their learning strategies. Three of those companies – Booz Allen Hamilton, Satyam Computer Services, and Farmers Insurace achieved the number 1 rank for learning in the world (Training Magazine, ASTD BEST).
Let us show you how to maximize your learning strategies aligned to the specific business needs of your organization.
Whether your company refers to employee development as a corporate university, learning function or training team, it is imperative that services strategically align to short term and long term organization goals and objectives.
Corporate universities with global responsibility must meet the learning and development needs of all constituents throughout the world. Within a global corporate university, time differences, geographic differences, escalating travel costs, opportunity cost of time, and other barriers exist. Instructor led learning cannot be justified as the primary means for learning. Beyond actual real time, on the job learning, use of virtual learning combined with alternatives including degree and certification programs, executive coaching, performance consultancy, global learning circles, experiential learning, and self-study need to be primary for learning deployment. These corporate universities are business enablers and catalysts for performance and relationship enhancement .
