351 A Mid-Sized Company's Leap into eLearning

12:00 PM - 12:45 PM Wednesday, November 17

Scarce resources and bottlenecks limit company growth by slowing new-client onboarding; one-on-one implementation training is not scalable. But without an L&D team, implementing an eLearning solution that could provide the scalability is not feasible. In this session, we'll share the story of how, in just over a year, Raintree created a fully-remote learning and development team and developed and implemented eLearning courses for our clients. It took research and meetings, hiccups and victories, and hours of analyzing, designing, developing, and implementing. Along the way, we learned some things that we think would help you if you're considering embarking on this journey.

In this session, you will learn:

  • What systems to develop in preparation for development
  • How to prioritize course development and build a roadmap
  • The importance of building relationships with SMEs, engineers, and stakeholders
