Making elearning both accessible and consistent is a common challenge in large health systems — especially when multiple teams, platforms, and content creators are involved.
Read MoreRolling out two major blended learning programs in a federally regulated financial institution meant navigating strict security, multiple vendors, and enterprise-level project management. The organization needed a smoother way to manage L&D projects — without the headaches.
Read MoreNew employee orientation programs are an essential part of any hiring process. A well planned and effectively administered new employee orientation program results in lower employee turnover, increased productivity and improved work quality. This translates into happier employees and a healthier bottom line.
We've just added a case study to our site that describes how a North American social networking software company adopted a new manager orientation program that improved employee morale and reduced their management turnover rate and associated costs. The orientation program and assessment tools we created for the client provided a solid foundation for employee success and improved the company’s bottom line. Read all about it here.

Everywhere I turn now, I see articles, blog posts, threaded discussions, tweets, seminars and much more about using social media. More and more learning professionals are now looking at new or more impactful ways of incorporating social media in learning.
Stephanie and I recently came across an interesting TELUS case study that highlights the process they used to pilot a new approach to learning that integrates social and informal components, including webcasts, videos, blogs, microblogs and wikis. The interesting part of this approach is that they used Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2010. Dan Pontefract, Senior Director of Learning for TELUS said “the social networking elements drew us to SharePoint Server 2010” and that “the company’s three-year plan is to move to a situation in which formal learning accounts for just 50 percent of its total learning budget”.
As the popularity of social media takes hold in the learning community, Stephanie and I are seeing more companies with traditional learning offerings like face-to-face training become interested in adopting a more balanced blended learning solution that includes eLearning and social media. In fact, we are currently working with a company that has asked us to recommend a more blended learning solution for their 30,000+ employees.

We've just added a case study to our site that describes how a major financial institution made a big change with the right training solution. The training/coaching program that we worked with them to create led to a multi-million dollar revenue win-back and improved employee morale. By sitting down with the key stakeholders and figuring out what their real needs were, we were able to create a solution that got to the heart of the challenges at hand and addressed them in a way that worked effectively for their environment.
