When Off the Shelf Isn't Good Enough.

OVERVIEW
Outside Resources vs. Your Own?
The short answer is you need BOTH. Nobody does everything great and that includes the creation of education and training content. Book publishers, consultants, YouTube®, Lynda.com®, social media, etc.—all can be of some use to you when creating a learning program. But those third party sources can only give you generic content. To be truly effective, you need to include content that speaks directly to your audience and explains the things that are unique to what you do. And that requires Custom Instructional Design.

 OVERVIEW
Training employees and customers is not something that can be treated as an afterthought or be the first thing cut out when budgets get tight. In fact, an effective educational and training effort will save you money in the long run, through less employee mistakes and less customer dissatisfaction.
Moreover, just “going through the motions” when planning and crafting training material is a waste of time and money. You would be better off doing no training at all and just let the chips fall where they may.
 TRAINING SITUATIONS

In-House Trainer Led

In house trainer led is when you or someone at your business will be the point person for training staff. BOT will work with you to build the content you will need to run your training sessions, making it both engaging and complementary to the things you will do directly with your team.

This is great when you don’t have the time or tools to create content, but you want to have close contact with the people getting the training, almost as if in a school environment.

Complete Content Packages

Complete Content Packages are when BOT builds the total learning experience, including content, assessment, feedback mechanisms, tracking tools, and sets the training up for you to basically “click it and use it” as needed.

While this does take the direct interaction between you and your team out of the equation, there are times when this is useful, such as when under tight time constraints, or when you have information needing to get to such a large group of people that direct contact isn’t feasible.

 DELIVERABLES
You can use BOT to put together all of the following:

  • Employee onboarding modules
  • New Product and Service Programs
  • Compliance and Regulatory Training
  • Continuing Education Programs
  • Customer Service Programs
  • Needs Analysis and Assessment
