Information Transfer and Care Management Group shortlisted in the E-learning Awards 2009
Information Transfer and Care Management Group (CMG) have been shortlisted for the
E-learning Award in the category ‘Best e-learning project securing widespread adoption.’
The joint entry demonstrates how a new e-learning implementation can be enthusiastically adopted within a people-focussed working environment, and can rapidly deliver significant business impact.
CMG is a healthcare business. Staff are carers, so technology is
not an everyday part of their work. In addition, there are other
challenges due to increased regulatory requirements, rapid
expansion and the specialist training needs of many different job
functions.
CMG selected Information Transfer to help them meet these
challenges. Specialists in creating bespoke solutions, Information
Transfer also has particular expertise in helping organisations
drive adoption and embed learning technologies.
Fulfilling Potential is a corporate blended learning programme
with a core e-learning element. It combines bespoke content,
learning management technology and offline learning activities. It
delivers consistent training messages, which incorporate CMG vision
and values.
By aligning with business objectives, understanding the needs of
the learners and sympathetic use of technology, Fulfilling
Potential has made a real difference to the organisation. From a
business with no technical infrastructure in September 2008, CMG is
now using bespoke e-learning across the whole group to improve
performance, reduce risk and embed a revived corporate
culture.
"We are particularly pleased to have been shortlisted for
'widespread adoption'. Our focus on learner needs, integration with
workflow and an extensive internal communication programme, all
combined to motivate CMG staff so the uptake of e-learning has been
fantastic!" says Owen Rose, Managing Partner at Information
Transfer.
Extensive user surveys were conducted across the business, 3
months after the launch. The results show excellent approval
ratings on a range of questions relating to access, usability and
effectiveness of Fulfilling Potential, demonstrating genuine
enthusiasm by users and managers.
David Spruzen, CEO at CMG, sums this up: "Fulfilling Potential has
had a huge impact for CMG. And beyond learning and development,
that impact goes right to the core of our values."
Information Transfer has also been shortlisted for an E-learning
Industry Award for Outstanding Achievement, for their work with
Priory Group.
The winners will be announced at a gala dinner held at the
Sheraton Park Lane Hotel on 12th November 2009.
