Financial Service Case Study Starting Point: A major financial services organization had 3 administrators and 15 instructor/developers that were responsible for delivering 288 classes covering 30 combinational service offerings. The starting student population was 27,680 agent representatives. Testing was conducted online using a commercial testing service.

Financial Service Case Study (cont) Current State: Implementation of the performance management program resulted in the development of 91 unique eLearning mini –courses organized into 30 certification tracks. Organizational changes were made to create 9 regional administrators supported by a team of 16 course developers. A performance management software technology that included learning management features was implemented and integrated with an existing single sign-on agent service portal. The resulting program was able to produce 75,000 qualified agents with no measureable decrease in agent productivity.

Manufacturer Case Study Starting Point: A vehicle manufacturer provided a catalog of training and recommended programs for its 2,000+ dealerships. The catalog contained over 120 courses which were primarily DVD or Instructor-Led format supported by a commercial testing service. A technician certification program was in place that tracked general qualifications of dealership personnel. Qualification management was not specific to the vehicle types sold by the dealership.

Manufacturer Case Study (cont) Current State: The manufacturer has implemented a comprehensive performance management program that addresses all dealership personnel. The program is designed to ensure that the specific vehicles supported by the dealership are sold and serviced by highly qualified personnel based on a rigorous certification program. Dealership certification has increased from 57% to 93% using the measures established in the performance management program. As a result of implementation, warranty claim rework has decreased and dealership sales have increased.
