Quick Tip:

HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO

Corporations usually initiate Learning technology investments for one or two reasons:

1. To streamline, automate and control costs surrounding labor-intensive back-office  processes (Example: LMS software)
2. To support a particular project, initiative or department (Examples: Tools for authoring,  testing and assessment, and virtual classrooms)

These drivers are certainly reasonable. However, neither considers the strategic objectives of your company – or even the Learning department, itself.

When technology investments are driven by a knee-jerk reaction to random requests, they’re likely to be perceived as a collection of non-strategic administrative tools. This “band-aid” approach means your technology portfolio will never garner sufficient internal support to fundamentally improve the way you deliver Learning, develop talent or enhance business performance.

Better than Band-Aids

However, by applying Learning technologies intentionally as enablers of corporate strategy, you can directly promote future business success. Therefore, it’s important to take time to identify and demonstrate the links between your overall corporate priorities, human capital management objectives and Learning technology investments.

We can help you map your Learning technologies to support a multi-tiered strategy. This improves your ability to win funding, and makes it easier to determine which investments offer the strongest potential. Ultimately, it ensures that your Learning technologies can truly transform your organization.
