6th Annual Lotus Beacon Awards Winner - Excellence in Education & Training: Learning
Innovations
|
The Award
UW Learning Innovations was recognized as an
Education Provider Partner who leverages Lotus/IBM solutions and technologies to
deliver superior education and training programs to customers, and provides a
measurable positive revenue impact. Consideration was given for creative use of
training media (synchronous, asynchronous, interactive tools, etc.), global
impact, customer satisfaction, assessment and measurement, and innovation in
training programs.
Our Solution
Using LearningSpace and Domino,
UW Learning Innovations collaborated with Famous Footwear to create Steps to
Success, an online training program for launching new sales employees into the
culture of the company and teaching appropriate sales techniques. The "Steps to
Success" program is accessible enterprise-wide to 825 stores throughout the U.S.
and its territories. UW Learning Innovations delivered a training environment
that can be accessed by 8,000+ employees; can be updated quickly and
automatically; and can be managed at lower cost and with total consistency.
Because the retail industry suffers a high turnover rate with sales associates
in the 18–24 year age bracket, UW Learning Innovations created an engaging
training experience, using video, audio, graphics, and text to engage the
employee base in a familiar but interesting way. Steps to Success demonstrated
clear value across an entire customer work force and is an outstanding example
of how Partner expertise and Lotus technologies can combine to transform and
raise learning environments to a whole new level of effectiveness.
