How can ADVISOR Enterprise Help

ADVISOR Enterprise creates well designed training plans and highly effective training strategies that are efficient, and consistently up to date. Moreover, ADVISOR generates an audit trail for analysis and recommendations, ensuring compliance with various standards including S6000T, FAA, EASA, IATA and ICAO. ADVISOR has a proven track record and has been successfully implemented in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, Singapore, and Brazil (Download ADVISOR Added Value). Key features:

Speed Training Needs Analysis as follows:

  • Configure ADVISOR in line with needs – i.e., conduct mission, system, competency, and/or job task analysis.
  • Automate Difficulty, Importance and Frequency (DIF) analysis to identify and prioritize tasks that require training.
  • Define Knowledge, Skills, & Attitudes (KSAs) needed to perform each task.
  • Identify training requirements by comparing desired to possessed KSAs.
  • Generate compliance reports in a single click. These include Master Task List, Master Training Task List, Job Task List, Training Requirements, Assessment Specification, and much more.

Simplify Media Analysis as follows:

  • Quickly identify and rate viable delivery options by mapping instructional design requirements of each objective to the capability of each media.
  • Store common measures such as hourly rates of developers, instructors, and support staff; equipment, simulators, and facilities cost in templates to quickly forecast and compare personnel/resource and costs of viable delivery options over program life cycle.
  • Generate compliance reports in a single click. These include Objectives and Media Analysis, Cost Analysis, Training Plans, and much more.

Maintain Regulatory Compliance as follows:

  • Generate an audit trail that tracks where each requirement has been addressed.
  • Quickly assess how changes to regulations, policies, systems, jobs,  and tasks impact courses, activities, lessons, and teaching points.
  • Identify training requirements that are not being addressed and potential impact on performance.
  • Map training activities to operational requirements and regulations to uncover training that is no longer relevant.
  • Track changes made by each user including what changes were made and when.
  • Archive completed analysis and assign updates a new version number.
  • Compare two versions of the analyses to identify all changes.

Improve Training Efficiency, as follows:

  • Identify viable delivery options for each lesson/activity within each course based on instructional requirements, content, audience and constraints.
  • Forecast and compare the costs of viable delivery media to identify the most cost-effective options.
  • Uncover and minimize training duplication – i.e., similar knowledge, and skills covered within multiple courses.
  • Conduct what-if scenarios to assess the overall impact of various blends of delivery options based on planned courses/activities and throughput.
  • Assess the potential impact of recommended solutions on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), namely training effectiveness, training costs, and training time.

Forecast Training Costs and Personnel/Resource Requirements. This includes the number and type of developers, instructors, administrators, managers and support staff, equipment, simulators, extended reality, facilities, etc., needed for each location and time-period. ADVISOR forecasts costs, personnel and resources based on throughput, courses/activities length, number of trainees per lesson, personnel/resources needed for each activity, and so forth.

Optimize Project Plans and Schedules. ADVISOR generates viable project plans and schedules based on constraints; availability of personnel/resources, etc. Plans and schedules can be rapidly updated as equipment availability, number of trainees, and so forth change. Moreover, ADVISOR identifies potential bottlenecks that may result form personnel/resource shortages and venues for minimizing delays with alternate delivery options.

Identify the Impact of Change and Maintain Training Effectiveness. As requirements evolve, the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to support new equipment, systems, regulations, policies, etc., will also change. In other words, existing training courses/activities may no longer address all needs. ADVISOR quickly uncovers and flags the potential impact of changes to missions, jobs, equipment, systems, policies, and regulations on training courses/activities. By swiftly realigning training with requirements, training effectiveness and efficiency can be preserved; and high performance maintained.

Hundreds of organizations have relied on BNH to simplify and speed training analysis, forecast and optimize training resources, improve resource allocation, produce audit trails to support recommendations and generate reports that meet the requirements of various standards. With offices in Montreal and Vermont; and associates in Florida, Virginia, Texas and the United Kingdom, we continue to expand our services while remaining responsive to the needs of our clients.
