Strategic Training Planning System

• Module #1: Align Training with Organizational Goals. To find out "who needs to be trained, on what, when and why". Improves training decisions by identifying and prioritizing knowledge, skills and competencies needed by each group (occupation) to meet unit and organization missions and goals.  In addition to establishing a clear line of sight between employees' tasks and organization goals, ADVISOR assesses the need for training using the Difficulty, Frequency and Importance (DIF) model. [Mission, Job, Task and Knowledge/Skill Analysis].

• Module #3: Select the Right Blend of Delivery Options. To find out “the most effective and economical way to deliver training”.  Improves training decisions by rating the effectiveness and computing the costs of alternate blends of delivery options.  In addition to maximizing training efficiency, ADVISOR minimizes costly errors by assessing the risks and impact of eLearning and training devices on learners, learning and the organization.  [Media, Cost and ROI Analysis].

• Module #4: Manage Training Budget & Resources. To find out "how much money and resources are needed”.  Maximizes training efficiency by quickly and accurately forecasting and comparing the costs of running one or multiple training programs using various blends of delivery options.  In addition to improving training decisions, ADVISOR facilitates project planning and resource management by forecasting money and resources needed to develop, deliver, administer, manage, maintain and support training programs over life cycle.  [Plan, Optimize, and Track Training Budgets and Resources]. 

• Module #5: Project and Resource Management. To find out "how training should be implemented”.  Keeps projects on time and within budget by developing program project plan, identifying critical paths/milestones, assigning personnel and resources as well as monitoring progress. In addition to anticipating potential problems and facilitating the implementation of corrective measures, ADVISOR improves resource allocation by tracking the utilization rates of personnel and resources.  [Project and Resource Management]. 

• Module #2: Improve Human Performance. To find out “how did training impact performance and organizational goals”.  Improves performance by zeroing in on the source of the problem and identifying solutions that produce the desired level of productivity. Moreover, ADVISOR highlights actions that will generate the greatest impact by assessing the feasibility of implementing plausible solutions as well as forecasting the costs, benefits and return on investment (ROI) of each intervention.  [Performance Gap, Cost and ROI Analysis].
