End-to-End Learning Solutions
Flatten your learning curve with IBM’s innovative learning solutions, offered with a flexible range of service options and pricing models.
The 2010 IBM Global Chief Human Resource Officer study, entitled "Working Beyond Borders," indicated the critical dependency on talent management for growth. Yet many organizations have severely downsized the talent, recruiting and learning staffs that are critical to their talent management strategy. Our clients find that, by entrusting their learning transactions to IBM, they are able focus their energy on strategic alignment between the business and talent, learning, and performance.
Further, studies show that more than 70 percent of learning is achieved informally on the job, yet most organizations spend the bulk of their funding on formal learning. At IBM, we design, develop and deliver blended learning programs that go beyond formal courses to include collaborative and immersive experiences. Experiences such as single and multi-player games in virtual worlds appeal to a multi-generational workforce, engaging freshly minted university graduates and, increasingly, more experienced workers. Our learning process and content development best practices can save clients as much as 30 percent, while allowing their retained staff to function on a higher strategic level.
Our model is flexible, enabling you to select process components from:
- Learning Strategy
We can help you build or refine a learning strategy that supports your business goals, careers and competencies. As well, we can work with you to define and document your policies and standards, to forecast demand, and to manage your learning investments.
