Make the most of your investment in your training department

Investing in the development of a robust and effective eLearning ecosystem is important for most organizations, regardless of size or industry. Unfortunately, without the right strategy in place, such investments are likely to fall short of their targets.

According to a recent study by the Brandon Hall Group, nearly two-thirds of companies have no set learning strategy or only a poorly defined one. Only about 12 percent of companies maintain a learning strategy that is optimized and aligned across the business.

At Allen Interactions, we focus on providing customized guidance and insights for creating and implementing training strategies that yield measurable contributions for your organization’s success.
