Why Managed Learning

Moving from training to performance

Providers of learning services are now being challenged to serve as strategic business partners. To make the transition from support service to strategic partner, HR/Learning executives need to reposition themselves so that they are clearly seen to add value to the business at multiple levels.

Business leaders are faced with making changes which will allow this transformation to occur. This includes alignment of their personnel and operations with the needs of their enterprise, an assessment of all HR/Learning activities and decisions on which activities are core to the business and which ones should be transferred to expert partners.

In effect, HR/Learning requires a more entrepreneurial approach to service delivery. Executives will begin to consider new operating models and become better at anticipating and responding to changes including shifts in customer demands, emerging technologies and outsourcing offerings.

Components of a Total MLS Solution

A Managed Learning Solution (MLS) will have a number of key functions at its core. These solutions are designed to be flexible and scalable and customers should be able to customise them to meet exacting business requirements. The typical components of an effective MLS include:

Design and Development – Instructional design and development services to prepare training materials.

Training Delivery – Provision of facilitators, coaches, trainers and specialist consultants. Click here to download an example of The Learning Factor's training program outlines.

Supplier Management - The management of a wide range of supplier relationships including matters such as quality control, issue resolution and invoicing.
