ConsultingTools develop and support customised internet or extranet solutions for learning and performance management and personal development in the form of our competency based learning management systems. Our on-line systems provide a single unifed delivery system enabling the management, distribution and tracking of blended learning and can be used to support HR and other training initiatives, for example in supporting a leadership development programme.
Individuals log-in to a customised and branded web site and have access to a wide range of resources based on client needs. Client specific content such as assessments, coaching guides, development plans and surveys can be tailored to the organisation, and to the individual and their job role giving candidates control of their own learning and development allowing an easier method of delivery for the organisation.
A back-end administration module supports the system and provides authorised personnel access to a range of administration options including the ability to track individual progress, view and print reports, initiate assessments, review development plans, manage events such as bookings for workshops and coaching sessions and to populate the site with new resources.
Key Features and optional modules:
Information on an organisation's initiatives or a development programme
Development plans and learning logs
Interactive learning
Resource library (access to uploaded files, book references and web site links)
Assessments
Events management (for workshops and coaching sessions)
Objective setting
Performance appraisal
Discussion forum (for candidates to share knowledge and experiences)
On-line coaching
System architecture supports any competency model
We realise that many clients have developed their own assessments and training and development material and we can work with you to develop this content as part of an overall on-line solution, in addition to integrating any of our existing off-the-shelf tools. Our systems can be built around and support any competency model, whether it is one of our own or a client's customised model allowing us to provide a full competency based learning management system.
In addition to our Learning Management Systems which support individual learning and development, we also provide on-line Programme Management Systems designed to assist consultants and organisations co-ordinate and centrally manage specific projects or programmes with their clients or internal employees.
The Programme Management System contains a comprehensive event management and booking module which allows a programme co-ordinator to define events such as workshops or coaching sessions and then create instances of when these events are being run in the form of sessions.
The system allows e-mails to be sent to appropriate individuals inviting them to book onto the session of their choice via an on-line booking form. Alternatively the event co-ordinator can select which session a candidate should attend. A maximum and minimum number of places can be set so that a session cannot be over-subscribed, and equally if under-subscribed a warning e-mail can be sent.
Following an individual booking, e-mail confirmations and joining instructions are sent automatically, including any file attachments such as pre-event reading or a map to a venue. The system shows at any time individuals booked in each session, and also lists those who haven't yet been allocated using the on-line tracking system.
Key Features:
event management and booking
attendance register
post event evaluation questionnaire and reporting
administer assessments
tracking system
Attendance registers can be printed prior to each session and attendance recorded into the system afterwards, with no-shows being reallocated to other sessions. Following attendance an evaluation questionnaire can be completed by each candidate. Evaluation reports can be produced summarising each individual session or as an average of all sessions making up an event.
For programmes which include on-line assessments, the system allows co-ordinators to initiate assessments, track progress and then access reports upon completion.
ConsultingTools on-line Programme Management Systems provide a great way to centrally manage and co-ordinate larger scale programmes, alleviating the administrative burden of running such projects.
