INSEAD

The Problem/ Challenges/Opportunities
INSEAD, in partnership with Citigroup, is launching the Financial Education Exchange (FinEdx), an online learning hub and e-learning system to serve the financial education community in Asia Pacific. This social initiative is targeted at Asian not for profit leaders whom mostly have little information technology skills and/or has limited or no access to broadband internet. Therefore, a flexible, user friendly and cost effective solution that simultaneously allows effective learning for the end-users is imperative.
The FinEdx portal requires easy and effective management of online courses and end-users, as well as of currents news and information from the financial education industry. End-users will be able to browse resource libraries with downloadable information in various formats, view video clips of classroom lectures, take online assessments, and participate in online discussion forums.

Our Recommendation(s)  

To assist in reaching these objectives, Knowledge Director (KD) proposed the implementation of Microsoft’s Learning Gateway (MLG) solution integrated with KD’s rapid content authoring tool, learningDIRECTOR™ and Microsoft’s Class Server® to serve as the FinEdx portal’s core learning platform. MLG has been proven through implementations in countries across the world to provide organizations and governments with a highly scalable, efficient, and cost-effective learning platform.
MLG seamlessly integrates core learning technologies like a Learning Management System (LMS) and content authoring tools, with learning content as well as collaborative learning tools like virtual classrooms and chats. MLG is especially suited for FinEdx because it has been proven as a solution that can evolve as an organization’s needs change.
MLG is a flexible, cost-effective solution that enables ‘best of breed’ products to be seamlessly integrated.

CITIBANK ASIA PACIFIC

Problem/ Challenges/Opportunities
Citibank was conducting classroom training. Learning audience is geographically dispersed over 12 offices across Asia. Trainers had to be flown all over APAC to train the local sales team or the a lot of effort have to be spend coordinating for the sales members from all over APAC to come to Singapore to attend training. Too much resources were spent on this. At the same time, the product and service sales force required real-time information as well as consistency of learning messages.

Our Recommendation(s)

Knowledge Director provided a full suite of services and solutions to our client. learningDIRECTOR™ provided the key driver for the rollout of Citibank’s first Sales e-University. We worked closely with the client, using their internal subject matter experts in developing the game-based and rich media e-learning modules. We were also engaged for technical consultancy and custom courseware development work.

Impact

In addition, we provided overall project planning as well as management and regional communications management for rollout to 12 countries.

Impact

UNILEVER ASIA PACIFIC

Problem/ Challenges/Opportunities
Accountability and benchmarking of learning was required across 17 offices in Asia. Management also required performance-based learning analytics. Although Unilever trainers implemented Level 3 & 4 Kirkpatrick, supervisors had no time to assess behaviourial change in trainees, after their training activity.

Our Recommendation(s)

Knowledge Director provided overall performance management consulting including performance strategy evaluation, and execution. ChangeDIRECTOR™ was rolled out to 17 offices across Asia. At the same time, e-strategy and planning was carried out using learningDIRECTOR™. In addition, learning design training was carried out by Knowledge Director to all trainers.

Impact

SINGAPORE POWER

Problem/ Challenges/Opportunities
Every time a new employee joins Singapore Power, the trainer will conduct staff induction session. However, due to time constraints, the trainer was not able to train all the new employees.

Our Recommendation(s)

With learningDIRECTOR™, the trainer created an entire Induction Program online by herself and was able to disseminate the program to new employees almost immediately. She also created an assessment module to test how much they have learnt.

Impact
Better ROI and more effective training

Our Recommendation(s) 

Knowledge Director was able to meet the challenges faced, through the implementation of learningDIRECTOR™. LearningDIRECTOR™ offers a highly robust, visually appealing, relevant and interactive means of eLearning Development with ease of use that mimics Microsoft © Powerpoint and yet allows NIE’s educators to achieve a high level of visual appeal and interactivity.
