Requirements
Faced with a major upgrade to a paperless filing system and little budget, the executive team faced a problem of how to educate an international staff of 800 on the changes that would impact their daily work. Online seemed like the right solution but team struggled with how to get employees to actually spend the time needed to learn the new program. |
Solution
Take existing information and modify as needed to meet the requirements of the new division. Using an SME, I was able to quickly discern what was viable and where I needed to spend my time. Updating activities and examples proved to be just what was needed. Training was delivered on an extremely tight turn with new hires able to hit the desk and be effective immediately. Sample content (right) was turned into an e-learning activity that required user to match surface types with diagram. |
Requirements
Acquisition of a company required the creation of a new customer service role, called in-home expert (IHX), that had no existing training. Client needed to quickly train employees in new skills as well as how to team successfully with installation technicians. Existing Help Desk Support employees were hand-chosen for the role of IHX. With existing knowledge of the services and product lines and high marks in customer satisfaction, they were ready and eager to move into this in-home role. Solution
I wrote the Design Document and from there created an ILT that had a participant and facilitator guide. Training topics consisted of hardware, satellite technology, product plans and people skills. Once the training was complete, it became evident that there were a lot of moving pieces to remember so a Field Guide was created to aid the rep in their new role. |
