The client

The learning and development division of a Fortune 500 home and health products company

The challenge

To develop a strategy for moving a large-scale face-to-face learning program online

The program

We created a three-week online program to expose a client taskforce to a wide range of learning tools. Participants gained hands-on experience with each tool while reflecting on their own learning styles and their employees’ needs. We also converted a key element of the client organization’s core courses into an online experience in order to demonstrate how one such course might function.

The outcomes

Our strategy enabled the client to move forward with their online initiative. We provided key steps in assessing the organization’s readiness for online learning, including technological competencies, employee opinions of online learning, as well as structural issues such as software and corporate firewall concerns. Participants said the experience helped them understand the limitations and possibilities of their software platforms.
