Global Expansion of Local Staffs
After a significant global expansion, the corporation needed to quickly hire and train its local staffing. A two-prong approach of new education programs and implementing a social media platform decreased “time to work” by 95% and saved USD $9.4M in cost avoidance annually.
The Challenge
The Solution
We redefined how teams and individuals learn and connect worldwide by 1) creating new education programs and 2) by implementing a social media platform, which enabled associates and clients to stay current with new solutions and innovations. These two design elements led the overall learning strategy for employees in North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania by delivering programs that aligned with organizational imperatives and met with client expectations. Our team oversaw instructional analysis, design, and development. We determined program directions, vision, mission, and objectives. Also, we managed the overall operations from project start through to delivery.
The Results
The company successfully achieved the following:
- Created several ‘fast-track’ consulting leadership programs to advance talent
- Decreased time to work by 95% for an associate aspiring to achieve advanced consulting, professional services, and project management positions through the design and development of coaching and apprenticeship programs
- Generated a 50% reduction in time to develop skill sets for key consulting, professional services, and project management position
- Saved USD $9.4M in cost avoidance per annum through the creation of recruiting, education, and training efficiencies over a 2YR timeframe
