Step 1: Lowering Training Costs Using Custom e-Learning Content
The first step to any well laid-out cost-reduction plan is to decrease the costs the organization currently incurs in order to get a better handle on profit potential from sheer cost savings. Previously we outlined what our target cost categories are…now we’re going to lower the costs associated with those categories by leveraging custom e-Learning content.
Take this scenario: A mid-sized software digital signature company that develops intranet portal systems currently employs 3 trainers that are onsite with clients for end-user training 3 days per engagement and they each average approximately 50 engagements per year for a grand total of 150 days on the road per trainer or 450 days on the road collectively.
For these trainers, the onsite training program for the end-user customer may look something like the following:
Day 1: Software Introduction and Primary Functions
Day 2: Functional Use and Administrative Actions
Day 3: Real-World Functions and Labs
Lowering the costs: By leveraging custom e-Learning digital signature online content, the company used in the above scenario can effectively reduce the onsite time required
