Mobile
Trinidad AB
Caterpillar has a proud history of working with independent dealers to distribute and service its machinery and equipment. However, delivering consistent customer service through a network of global dealers is a huge challenge. Recognizing the need to focus on people development, they decided to build a technology ecosystem that would modernize dealer learning and development on mobile, provide seamless collaboration and communication, and supply real-time data and insights.
In this session, you will learn how adopting a mobile-first approach to training and development improved Caterpillar’s content utilization, accelerated their content creation, and provided real data and analytics for assessment. You’ll find out how they reached dealers informally by replacing their LMS and PDFs with a mobile solution, and how they used Inkling to create mobile-ready interactive learning and development documents. The session will show you how you can create enterprise learning solutions that match the technology found in learners’ personal lives.
In this session, you will learn:
- How adopting interactive and on-demand learning content on mobile can increase utilization
- How this approach can drastically improve the time people spend with your learning content
- How Caterpillar’s content creation process using Inkling saved them in production and authoring costs
- What data and analytics you can gather from this approach
