Integrated Training Solutions That Deliver Business Results

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Development: Make it scalable, repeatable, and efficient
Process, process, process! Traditional curriculum development models rely on primarly instructor led training (ILT) in a classroom using a PowerPoint presentation. Yesterday's approach, by itself, has proven to be very costly and time consuming. Today, development is consistent with software development methodologies [think of a blend between Agile software development and the traditional waterfall approach].

Beverly has solid experience working across the business to analzye, develop, and implement business processes that can either be leveraged for in-house or outsourced development. Processes can be defined for both small projects (e.g. rapid development) or medium to large projects; and, they can be leveraged regardless of the training solution.

The Approach

• Create a development process to execute projects while incorporating best practices across the industry (Originate - Scope & Charter, Initiate - Training Solution, Plan, Design, Develop, and Evaluate)
• Outsource industry standard subject matter expertise (SME) work
• Leverage internal SME's for company best practices and examples
• Outsource 95%+ curriculum development and instruction
• Leverage individual education plans to enable proactive volume planning
• Negotiate volume discounts with vendors to reduce costs

The Results

• Lower costs
• Ensure ROI and ROE
• Increase response times
• Decrease development ratios; reduce cycle time
• Decrease SME involvement / time
• Increase quality
• Promote innovation
• Is repeatable and scalable
• Predict timeframes and outcomes
• Enable collaboration
• Clearly define roles & responsibilities, inputs, outputs / deliverables, tasks, and support documents / templates / checklists
• Implement a common approach for client decision making
• Easy to continuously improve and maintain

Rapid Development / Reusable Content

If you leverage templates, you can save time in development. But, have you ever considered leveraging off-the-shelf content and then mixing and matching it to customize for your organization's use? Beverly can work with your off-the-shelf content partners to custom develop content you already license. Or, Beverly can develop and implement a rapid development process for projects that fall into the following categories:

• One month development effort
• Subject matter expertise exists
• Content exists
• Content is generally “disposable”

Ask Beverly for more information on prescriptive learning and how to save your organization cost and decrease employee time by eliminating the need to spend time on facts/concepts/skills/content they already know.
