Align Training with Organizational Goals

[Mission, Job, Task & Knowledge/Skill Analysis]

• Identify skills, knowledge and competencies needed by job profile, unit, division or organization to meet goals. Prioritize training based on needs and generate plan of action.
• Establish clear links between training, performance and goals. Quickly reassess training requirements as priorities change or training activities as budget changes.
• Assess the training needs for each task based on Difficulty, Importance and Frequency (DIF model). 
• Save time. Generate mission, task, learning objectives and test strategy documents that meet the requirements of US, Canadian and UK military standards. 
• Facilitate collaboration. Store reusable data including job profiles and tasks in templates - and share with others.
• Maintain quality. Provide simple step-by-step methodology for inexperienced users to conduct mission, job and task analysis. 
• Build business case for training. Demonstrate the impact of a training program on performance and goals.

Improve Human Performance

[Performance Gap, Cost & 

ROI Analysis]

• Evaluate the effectiveness of training by assessing the impact of feedback, capacity, resources, motivations, incentives, knowledge and skills on performance. 
• Save time. Detect the source of the problem and identify plausible solutions within seconds using ADVISOR's expert root cause analysis engine. 
• Quantify the benefits. Define and compute the anticipated monetary impact of plausible solutions based on output, time, costs and quality.
• Forecast the costs as well as return on investment (ROI) of plausible solutions, and prioritize actions accordingly. 
• Simplify evaluation. Use the desired performance criteria to assess whether performance objectives have been attained.  
• Facilitate collaboration. Store reusable data including salaries and various operational costs in templates - and share with others.
• Maintain quality. Provide simple step-by-step methodology for inexperienced users to conduct root cause, cost and benefit analysis.    

Select Right Blend of Delivery Options

[Media, Cost & ROI Analysis]

• Minimize costly errors.  Rate the ability of alternate delivery options in meeting organizational, learning and learner's needs.
• Compute and compare the costs of plausible delivery options - including instructor-led, synchronous and asynchronous eLearning, print, tapes, conferencing and training devices. 
• Assess the risk associated with the introduction of new learning technology.
• Save time. Assess the impact of number of trainees, student to instructor ratio, travel and hundreds of other factors on budget and resources within seconds.
• Facilitate collaboration. Reusable data including trainees profile, development, instructor, travel and facilities costs can be stored in templates - and shared with others. 
• Maintain quality. Provide simple step-by-step methodology for conducting and evaluating media and cost analysis.
• Build business case for eLearning. Compute potential savings, return on investment (ROI) and breakeven point of plausible solutions.

Manage Training Budgets and Resources

[Plan, Optimize, Forecast, Tack, Measure & Evaluate Training Budgets & Resources]

• Forecast money and resources needed by training program, manager, unit or entire organization. 
• Track and compare actual to forecasted costs in real time.  Quickly realign money and resources to meet new priorities and business challenges.
• Identify and duplicate programs that are running effectively and correct problem areas.
• Determine impact of changes to standards, policies or tools on various training programs. 
• Generate benchmark reports to gauge training investment over time, to peers and competition.
• Save time. Automatically roll-up forecasted and actual costs from subordinates to supervisors. Generate up to the minute reports on actual spending by training program, manager, unit or entire organization and compare to forecasted costs. 
• Defend budget. Generate detailed breakdown of costs and resources required by various training programs including impact on performance and organizational goals. 

Project and Resource Planning

[Project and Resource Management]

Keep projects on-time and within budget

• Identify critical paths/milestones, setup constraints and dependencies and develop a project plan accordingly.
• Identify personnel with required skills and attributes, validate availability and assign to various tasks.
• Automatically notify individuals and resource managers of changes and request confirmations.
• Anticipate problems and facilitate the implementation of corrective measures by monitoring progress in real time.
• Improve resource allocation by tracking the utilization rates of personnel and resources.

Support and Document Decisions

• Present results with confidence. Based on extensive research, tested on thousands of courses and used by hundreds of organizations since 1995. The reasoning behind the recommendations as well as a breakdown of the  computations are clearly presented and can be easily validated.

Develop Effective Presentations

• Generate clear, simple to follow charts, tables and reports to effectively communicate the results to others.

Access Anytime from Anywhere

• Available at any time and from anywhere.  Data, analysis and results are stored in a central database on a web server - accessible to multiple users locally or at a distance via Internet Explorer or Netscape over the Internet or Intranet (no plug-ins required).

Customize to Better Meet Your Needs

• ADVISOR is highly configurable and customizable. Whether you require modifications to the ADVISOR interface, limiting data collection or integration with existing systems, BNH provides several options to meet your needs.

• Scalable, robust and flexible. ADVISOR's three-tier design (client, server and database) provides a completely Java based, open platform that is robust, flexible and scalable. Whether managing a few courses locally or thousands of courses worldwide, ADVISOR can meet your needs.
