Learning and development software specialist to showcase the power of big data

The Learning and Performance Institute (LPI) has announced that Premium Exhibitor, CPL Online, will deliver a presentation on big data at LEARNING LIVE 2016.

CPL’s managing director and big-data engineer, David Dasher, will reveal how big data is revolutionising learning and development – providing unseen insights into staff training.

Dasher said: “It’s a great privilege to be presenting at LEARNING LIVE. This event marks an excellent opportunity to network with industry peers and demonstrate our capabilities to the wider learning community.

"In my presentation, I’ll discuss how big data analytics is playing a vital role in transforming the face of training and succession planning. At CPL Online, big data is at the core of our business. Recently, we have introduced a series of reporting and data analysis tools, which provide unique insights into staff training and development. Using data that was previously unavailable, we have harnessed our big data platform to help clients understand their workforce with greater precision and depth.”

CPL Online’s big data platform, which is powered by the Georgia-based HPCC Systems® (LexisNexis Risk Solutions®), processes and analyses vast amounts of data in real time. During the completion of an e-Learning course or assessment, CPL can pinpoint user trends, patterns and suspicious activity. The data is accessed instantaneously through visual graphic forms, allowing L&D managers to strategise company training directly from the visualisations.

The LPI's Head of Marketing, Giles Hearn, said: "Big data has been a buzz-word for some time now, yet many people still don't understand what it means or its implications for their business and personal lives. CPL Online's session at LEARNING LIVE will give delegates a glimpse of what can be achieved in workplace learning when the secrets hidden with huge data sets are uncovered."

CPL Online's session takes place on 8th September in the Business Solution Workshop area.

LEARNING LIVE takes place at 155 Bishopsgate, London on 7-8 September 2016. For more details about the session and the full event programme, visit www.learning-live.com/conference-programme
