Technology-based training design and development is Allen's
core competency. We have been creating custom courses on all scales for more than 18

installation and customization assistance we can offer you:

Enterprise Strategic Consulting
Maximizing training, resources, and infrastructures across
the entire organization-including all of your locations and departments-represents the
greatest realization of the broad and deep impact training has at your organization. But
getting to this standard approach, both in definition and in infrastructure, is a
monumental undertaking that often requires assistance. We have developed our enterprise
strategic consulting offering over the past year, working with several organizations in
assessments, definitions, procedures, and rollouts. Unlike the services described above,
these services are not linked to a specific task or project, but focus on your overall
training strategy and processes. These high-end services, though challenging, can be
invaluable to larger companies that have made a serious commitment to the growth and
development of their human resources and technology-based training as an integral part of
that com-mitment. This consulting engagement can include:
- Assistance in assessing and evolving an overall training
strategy that links together all of your training developers, in all of your locations, to
a single plan and approach
- Technical assessment and implementations of infrastructure
or training development and delivery processes
|
- Creation of custom tools or integration of multiple systems
to help accomplish your training development or delivery needs.
