e2train releases whitepaper on choosing and deploying a Learning and Talent Management Solution
The latest whitepaper from e2train, ‘How to Choose & Deploy Your Next Learning & Talent Management Solution’, offers a step-by-step guide to selecting and/or replacing an existing learning and talent management solution and ensuring long-term success.
The paper is intended for those looking to successfully deploy a new learning and talent management solution: that works seamlessly alongside existing processes and systems; and that the IT infrastructure will cope, deadlines and budgets will be met and that employees will fully embrace the new solution.
The paper, which is rich in customer examples, examines in detail the key issues vital to success when choosing and deploying a new solution. Subjects covered include the importance of incorporating business goals and establishing learning objectives; tips on how you can leverage IT to integrate different processes and develop a clear and consistent approach to learning, performance, talent and succession; the key role of Learning Management Systems (LMS); and the importance of flexibility, content and measurement in any new learning and talent solution.
The paper also includes 12 key steps to success in selection and deployment including such key issues as defining the audience; identifying the individual(s) responsible for managing implementation; creating a short-list and the evaluation process; securing senior management support; tips on budgeting; and the importance of a launch plan.
“There are few more important decisions in HR and L&D today than choosing the right learning and talent solution,” explains Rob Caul, CEO of e2train and 81Boxes and author of the paper. “Get it wrong and you are in danger of being faced with an expensive and unloved white elephant, get it right and it can help define the future long-term success of your organisation.”
“What this whitepaper does is to strip away the jargon and the confusion that companies can face when selecting a new learning and talent solution and outlines a clear and systematic approach for success backed up by examples from leading organisations and blue-chip companies. For anyone wanting to avoid the pitfalls of selection and implementation, this is a ‘must read’.”
The paper is part of a series of whitepapers authored by Rob Caul and follows previous subjects including ‘The Changing Dynamics of the Workplace – The Impact of Each of the Different Generations’; ‘Seven Steps for Growing from Within’; and ‘Retaining Talent in a Downturn - A Guide for the Financial Services Sector’.
