Analysis. Evaluation. Benchmark.
Assessments provide the factual evidence your organization needs to implement the correct knowledge management solutions. We call that agileASSESSMENT.
Statistics show that with most knowledge management programs, the costs associated with lost production and travel time for training participants can account for the greatest expense of the program – in some cases, upwards of 90%. In contrast, the costs for design, development, and delivery of knowledge management often represent less than 10% of the total cost of corporate education programs. Given this distribution of expenses, the assessment must generate information that specifies an efficient knowledge management regimen for each individual within your organization, maximizing learning while minimizing time away from day-to-day operations.
That said, designing, developing, and implementing a comprehensive training plan to achieve your business objectives is nearly impossible without measuring the existing skill levels of your organization's personnel. Our personalized agileASSESSMENT Knowledge Management Assessment provides valid data about the current state of your organization, and our analysis of this data aids your organization in determining the roadmap for focused training to bring core competency up to the desired levels.
Our agileASSESSMENT analysis is the first step in designing effective knowledge management programs, measuring organizational knowledge and critical thinking skills, focusing training activities on those that have the greatest impact on your business, and improving organizational productivity. Used within our agileSTRATEGY process as the first step within our proprietary agileXCD instructional design methodology, our agileASSESSMENT tools provide your organization with invaluable benefits, including:
- Measurable current competency levels and, as a result, the data needed to establish acceptable competency standards
- Definition and reinforcement of skills needed for each job description within the organization
- Enhanced efficiency of training resources focused on specific areas for each individual who needs improvement
- Productivity loss prevention via elimination of redundant training tools
- Training roadmap for continuous quality and performance improvements throughout the organization
