The challenge
Delivering Compliance Training at Scale
The Sandvik instructor-led training team were challenged with growing demand and increasingly global workforce. They turned to us to scale their training programmes and deliver training materials that would ensure compliance learning and knowledge retention, regardless of location.
The issues we encountered:
- Demand for more consistent training delivery across multiple regions.
- Difficulty ensuring compliance with Foreign Exchange (FX) regulations.
- High costs and logistical challenges associated with in-person training.
- Limited access to training for remote employees.
- Demand for more effective onboarding processes leading to a loss of knowledge.
- Need for content localization to accommodate diverse audiences.
- Challenges in retaining institutional knowledge due to staff turnover.
Our approach
Crafting a strategic plan for efficient and effective eLearning
At Altuent, we take pride in our collaborative and transparent approach to content creation. Our process was built on meticulous planning and a close partnership with Sandvik to deliver solutions tailored to their unique needs.
Our instructional designers and technical writers began by developing a time-saving, efficient process, using consistent templates to deliver high-quality eLearning content within a tight deadline.
- Discovery phase: We engaged with stakeholders to understand training objectives and requirements, ensuring we could deliver the eLearning modules effectively.
- Content review: We assessed existing instructor-led materials for quality, optimisation and potential reuse.
- Timeline: We developed a comprehensive project plan, including a Gantt chart and RACI matrix, to outline stakeholder sign-off points and meet the project deadline.
- Drafting: We created initial module drafts to gather valuable stakeholder feedback.
- Audio scripts: We developed audio scripts for each of the eLearning modules.
- Quality assurance: We performed thorough testing to ensure content quality, functionality, and an optimal learner experience.
- Launch: We launched the modules and assigned them to the employees who needed to complete the training.
- Ongoing support: We monitored completion rates to ensure the target audience finished the training.
The end result? Our team transformed 11 PowerPoint-based FX modules into an interactive eLearning course, built in Articulate Storyline. The course was then packaged into a SCORM file for Learning Management System (LMS) interoperability, uploaded, and hosted in WorkDay.
This structured approach demonstrates why Altuent is a trusted partner for enterprises seeking to take their training, learning and developement initiatives to the next level.
