The advantages loom large, yet understanding what needs to happen to pave the way for e-learning in your organization can be overwhelming. The technology changes daily, as do the training needs. In this article, we will look into some case studies of companies that are adopting e-learning into their corporate culture. PriceWaterhouseCoopers is a firm that provides accounting and business consulting services. Prior to the merge, Price Waterhouse created a multimedia program entitled Terminal RISK to train the professional audit staff.
Employees take the course during the third year of training.
Terminal RISK serves as a prerequisite for further training, and more than 7,000 people in 50 countries have taken advantage of this training. To evaluate the effectiveness of the program, Price Waterhouse conducted a training effectiveness review. The company examined the total cost for development and delivery over five years. Another example can be found at Intel Corp., where the focus of business is to design, manufacture and market microprocessors for personal computers. The Logistics Systems training group previously offered traditional classroom instruction to the 800 employees for learning new applications.
