SMEs are doing it for themselves
Small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) are taking advantage of the latest technologies in learning to save money on training.
In the past, business leaders have been, to a large part, reliant on external training consultants to help them up-skill their organisations. That meant sourcing, and paying for, the design and delivery of formal training programmes: a process which can be time consuming and costly and doesn’t always provide the level of tailoring that a smaller business might need.
Having said that, it’s easy for a general manager or business leader to be put off designing their own training by the level of preparation involved. Professional trainers don’t earn good money for nothing. There’s a lot of preparation that goes into the design of an effective learning programme.
Breakthrough innovations in learning technology are changing all that though. Low cost ‘make-your-own’ e-learning products (like Compendle and Moodle) and Video Arts own digital learning library for SMEs are here now and they’re affordable and easy to implement.
Video Arts SME licence allows businesses with less than 250 employees to download ready-to-use course outlines, presentation slides, workbooks and video clips for hundreds of out-of-the-box training courses covering subjects such as coaching, customer service, teamwork, leadership, performance management, change management, managing people, finance and communication.
