Welcome to Training Management & COVID-19: Solutions for the Coronavirus Pandemic – a series of interviews with enterprise training leaders from around the world who are adapting the way they work. They’ll share some of the scenarios they’re facing, identity best practices, what’s working and what’s not, and we’re hopefully going to laugh a lot along the way as well.  My name is John Peebles, CEO of Administrate, and today I have Julia Rosenthal from TÜV SÜD in Germany on the line. TÜV SÜD runs a growing and global training operation that includes countries like Italy, which has sadly been hit hard by the coronavirus. We talk about how her and her team have managed significant changes to their training operations in the wake of Europe grappling with the spread of the disease, the steps they took to prepare of the inevitable shutdown of their training centers, and how they are providing their instructors with unique ways to still engage with learners.

Learn how to build a strong business case for training software, highlighting ROI, efficiency gains, and long-term value.

When it comes to running a training department, it’s vital to ensure that you have a centralized knowledge base in place to ensure that everyone is following your procedures and processes.  You need to create a place when all your staff can head if they have a problem or need to find a specific document. That way you can be sure everyone is working the same way and is working from the same information. A training management platform like Administrate is the perfect tool to set up your knowledge base. It’s a platform that everyone in your team will already be using to manage your training offering, and you can make use of the various features to support your knowledge base with ease.

When it comes to bringing new software into your business, find out how you can ensure you make the right choice for your organization.

Buying software can be one of the trickiest processes that you have to navigate as a business, but to make sure you always have the best tools available to your team, it is something you will have to go through. Therefore, it’s essential to know how to make the whole process as smooth and straightforward as possible.

As you kick off a new year and focus on what your internal strategy is going to be for 2020 and beyond, it’s vital to consider the type of tech and software you will need to help you achieve your goals as a business. You need to make sure you have the right EdTech in place to help you produce visible business results. Otherwise, you could be doing your internal training department a disservice, and not providing your team with the tools they need to succeed. 

Ensure a successful software purchase by asking these six critical questions to evaluate potential vendors and solutions effectively.

As a training department, it’s vital for accurate training measurement that you can report on every area of your training offering in a detailed and effective manner. This means that even if you offer lots of different training, such as classroom-based sessions, eLearning, blended learning, and virtual instructor-led training, you need to be able to pull all the relevant data about your training into your reports so you can examine the performance of your entire training output.
