Too often the approach to the overall training and learning strategy is vague leaving last minute or on-the-job training the only option. In some situations this is adequate, but a cohesive strategy will often be more cost effective in the long term and provide your team with an understanding of how their career development fits with the business strategy.
Knowledge Age can work with HR, Training and IT departments, as appropriate, to develop a Training and Learning Strategy that is pragmatic and in-line with the business strategy.
Our approach
No two training and learning strategies are ever the same - the current “as-is” position and the desired goals are normally different amongst organisations due to their organisational size, budgets, culture and geographical spread. Knowledge Age consultants can work with your team to understand the nature of the training and learning requirements, the business background and the general scope of the strategy.
Our approach would be holistic, with the scope extending beyond training to encompass any relevant skills-acquisition and skills-management process, such as: career-planning for key team members; managing and grooming key team members; recruiting; training and new skills required (technical and business skills); training options (including e-learning, self-paced, intranet reference etc); use of contractors. These recommendations would enable a skills strategy to be devised to fully support the business needs.
