Curriculum Planning
|
Efficient curriculum design could cut your training delivery costs by 20%In a recent white paper "Are You Cutting It?", we summarised the four main areas where large organisations could reduce their L&D spend. Effective design of learning solutions is the second largest area for potential savings. Based on our experience of delivering managed learning services, we estimate that with careful choice and design of learning interventions, training delivery costs can be reduced by up to 20%. Put in the wider context of the total training budget, and allowing for some additional investment in course development, that amounts to a 9.5% reduction in the overall training cost. |
A key challenge for L&D professionals is having the right learning available, at the right place, at the right time. We draw on a combination of our relationship with you, the client, together with the combined knowledge of over 1,000 training providers to get just what you need. We work with our major clients to understand the expected demand for learning, and plan so that we identify the right interventions are available when they will be needed. The resulting curriculum is accessed in a number of ways:
- For individuals, we offer a catalogue of courses (public open schedule and internal closed events)
- For communities of learners we may supplement the catalogue with roadmaps of learning and accreditation paths, and training that is mapped to competencies
- For wider development needs we can offer a full curriculum design service, to ensure the right combination of learning interventions is in place
Review and revitalise your catalogue!
Keeping your catalogue of training interventions up to date is important: business needs change, workforces change, learning technologies change. Our Managed Learning Service helps to keep a constant watch on the relevance of the interventions in your learning catalogue, making changes where necessary.
A recent exercise to restructure and redesign a core curriculum for a financial services company resulted in an overall reduction in the number of different course types, improved demand for the re-launched curriculum, improved fill rates and reduced per-event costs.
