Meeting the technology challenges of your agency can be a tall order, especially when those challenges require extensive change. From advances in training platforms to evolving service delivery methods, every agency is searching for the best methods to improve performance while keeping its workforce agile and responsive to new requirements and opportunities.
Underlying those new opportunities are three distinct hurdles that must be overcome by any agency looking to leverage the most effective training tools and methods available.
First, agency decision makers must learn how to navigate the learning technology selection process and maintain vendor relationships. This essential step sets the stage for the future success of any comprehensive training program.
Second, any professional in charge of acquiring and developing training should have a good understanding of the current government training environment, including the opportunities available and the hurdles they may face. Smart strategies for successful change management and ongoing system management can make the difference between an effective program and wasted budget dollars.
Finally, the ability to execute a secure and rapid learning technology integration depends entirely on the degree of work that goes into preparing an organization for that transition. Preparation that meticulously maps out how, where and when new services will be integrated is the final step in any agency-wide training development effort.
Jason Marceau, vice president of strategic accounts at Meridian Knowledge Solutions, and learning industry thought leader Ed Cohen understand the unique challenges, and pitfalls, that agencies face in each of these phases.
Join them July 15 at 2pm EST for the special ATD webinar event, Next-Generation Learning Strategies for Government. Marceau and Cohen will help attendees discover new ways to deliver training in a cost-effective, timely manner that meets their individual, institutional, and compliance needs.
