Why a
Company Should Buy QuicKnowledge?
1.
QuicKnowledge is “just-enough,
just-in-time” performance learning.
·
Training can be taken when it
is needed, not when it is scheduled.
·
This saves your company $$ by
developing individual competence in a short amount of time.
·
Other online products require
several short sessions or one or more long ones to cover a complete
skill.
2.
The training community can
provide training that the company needs without worrying about what
it can afford.
·
Your training department can
provide a training solution to a manager who has one employee or a
hundred employees needing training in a particular skill.
·
The variety of skill
deficiencies identified in performance reviews requires an
affordable and efficient resource. Listening for 1
person? Doable. Building an Effective Team for a dozen
team leaders? Doable. Valuing Diversity for 10,000
employees before the end of the year? Doable. When they need it,
not when the training department can work it in. And at a price
any company can afford.
3.
Job performance can be
significantly improved in as little as 30-45 minutes.
·
QuicKnowledge focuses on the
key drivers of effective performance and does not include extraneous
or “nice to know” material. This translates to $$ by requiring less
time away from normal work routine.
·
QuicKnowledge has been
specifically designed for the 30-45 minute session. Other online
products have created short courses by chunking up existing courses
so the learning is by bits and pieces.
4.
QuicKnowledge will improve
participants’ job performance—immediately.
·
It includes the essential
elements of performance planning and performance support to assure
effective behavior on the job. Companies need good
performers, not just good learners. Effective and
consistent job performance is the goal of any company’s training
efforts. It also prevents waste of $$ in incompetence.
5.
QuicKnowledge eliminates the
“transfer of training” problem and shortens the “learning curve.”
·
Training is designed for
immediate practical application in the workplace, with minimal
learning curve, through the job aids (QuicTools.) This means less $$
wasted as supervisors are immediately more competent than they were
before they took a course.
6.
Every person in the company can
take any or all of the courses: you have unprecedented flexibility
to meet training needs with an enterprise-wide license.
·
Enterprise-wide deployment will
allow a company to quickly roll out essential topics and/or
standardize routine business and interpersonal processes in a short
time. This standardization of a “critical mass” of employees
increases quality and productivity, according to fundamental quality
management principles. Better quality and higher productivity equal
$$.
·
Traditional classroom training
and conventional online “just-in-case” training rarely result in
significant organizational performance improvement because companies
can’t afford to train everyone at once, but even if they could, the
length of conventional training would unacceptably disrupt the
workflow.
7.
QuicKnowledge provides tools to
help you measure participants’ performance improvement on the job.
·
Each course has a Performance
Plan, Action Plan, and Performance Feedback Document to be used to
help the participant experience continuous measurable improvement.
These activities are designed to be done collaboratively with the
participant’s direct supervisor so that support for organizational
goals can be addressed and documented. Participants can be held
accountable for improved performance, which reduces wasted $$.
8.
QuicKnowledge is an affordable
partner in a blended learning solution.
·
Participants learn the
essential behaviors of a skill by taking the online course.
Follow-up, facilitated discussions in the classroom focus on the
realities of using the new skill—organizational barriers, unique
applications, individual style variations, and group commitments.
This reduces the total $$ of your training effort.
9.
QuicKnowledge places the
responsibility for the effectiveness of the training where it
rightfully belongs—with the participant and his or her direct
supervisor.
·
QuicKnowledge is adult learning
that assumes that individuals are responsible for their own learning
and their own job performance, under the supervision of
organizational management. Management—not the training department—is
responsible for making sure the new skills are applied, and who
better to do it?
·
The QuicKnowledge instructional
design encourages positive supervisor-direct report relationships
and supports supervisors in their most important job—managing
performance. Effective performance management means more efficient
operations, which means less waste and more $$.
10.
Your training department can
spend more time providing performance consulting, training
follow-up, and coaching to promote organizational performance
improvement.
·
Trainers have always known that
taking a training course—even excelling in a training course—does
not necessarily translate into improved performance because of all
the variables that make it difficult to change behavior in the real
world. QuicKnowledge is an inexpensive “presenter” which will allow
you to be an effective “implementer” who contributes to achieving
business goals. Better ROI.
