At HRD 2008 on the 15 - 17 April in London, Europe's largest international dedicated event on Learning and Development, LearningGuide Solutions (stand 651) will show how a shift from traditional classroom training to effective solutions of informal learning in the workplace will result in immediate, on demand support for IT-users while performing a task or executing a process.

Our organisations and businesses are operating at a tremendous increase of speed and at constantly shorter cycles of change. Rapid changes of business processes, high demands on compliance, regulations, new tasks and systems put increased pressure on most of our staff today. What they need is faster and instant effective help and knowledge to get their jobs done.

New technologies, organisational models and production paradigms emphasize communication, information and knowledge networks as essential elements of an innovative organisation.

LearningGuide Solutions specialises in EPSS, Electronic Performance Support Systems. LearningGuides enable an individual through informal learning to achieve the required level of performance in the fastest possible time and with minimum intervention from others. LearningGuides are designed to promote human interaction, in-depth and individual study of specific subjects in order to serve both, individual and organisational needs.

LearningGuides deliver learning and support directly to the desktop through easy to use, intuitive online and browser-based publications. Support objects are quickly identified using result-based graphical examples, menus, keyword indexes and search functions. Quick references with links to deeper learning and support objects provide just the right amount of support for each question or problem, always in context. Exercises and links to embedded e-learning resources or simulations offer more in-depth study options. And above all, LearningGuides' content and resources motivate and stimulate users to self-service in finding answers to questions or solutions to problems.

LearningGuide Solutions offers standard and off-the-shelve support and rich content for MS Office, including MS Office 2007, Microsoft Windows, Lotus Notes, Novell, SAP, Navision, FileNet, Sharepoint, Documentum, Siebel, office equipment such as Voice-over-IP systems and other common desktop applications and utilities. LearningGuides encompass information and knowledge assets and therefore help to increase consistency, productivity and organisational performance.
