As a manager of organizational e-learning resources, it is essential to make decisions that improve the bottom line. Aligning e-learning courses with the organization’s performance goals is critical to ensuring positive results.
However, there are a number of other factors to consider when creating courses, such as cost and time savings. E-learning courses can reduce the cost of facilitated classroom training as well as increase accessibility for those unable to attend scheduled training. Additionally, a great eLearning program can provide a return on investment to justify its presence in the organization.
Considering all these factors, e-learning can add enormous value to an organization. Here are three ways you can express value to your organization:
- charge: Focus not only on project costs and development time, but also on the value you bring compared to outsourcing. How much would training programs cost if you didn’t do them? Consider the long-term savings that often accompany in-house training.
- Time: How quickly can you deliver the training? Time is money and timely delivery of training is essential. Consider how much time people spend on your course compared to the time it would take to learn in a different way. Can you deliver the same or better results in less time?
- Performance: Increased performance has a direct impact on the bottom line. Link your course objectives to performance objectives to demonstrate training impact. If evaluation and performance metrics are difficult to quantify, look for alternative ways to demonstrate training effectiveness, such as customer satisfaction or employee retention.
Courses should focus on specific performance improvements for best results; when this is not possible, cost and time improvements can be demonstrated to demonstrate value.
