TRAINING: CORPORATE UNIVERSITIES |
|
 |
Whether you want to enhance your traditional training program (through curriculum development, retreats, workshops or seminars), want to explore a virtual training initiative or prefer a blended (traditional/virtual approach)— Then contact us.
Our experience in delivering traditional training solutions (from needs-analysis, to curriculum development, through metrics, presentations, training trainers and retention initiatives) are tried and true. We will gladly assist you in whatever stage of development or execution you are in. We know how to partner as a resource with experienced training departments, as well as how to help companies build a single session or a training program from the ground up.
We also provide workshops, retreats, seminars, and leadership development sessions - designed to integrate your unique company values, overcome your particular challenges and then deliver in an engaging, interactive manner.
Food for thought: Virtual Worlds and Virtual Corporate Universities are the emerging approach to effective education and Discover True North has the capability, resources and experience to help you revolutionize your training programs.
Today there are over 200 educators from nearly as many colleges and universities using virtual worlds for classes, research, learning and projects with their students. Universities like Harvard, Texas State and Stanford have set up virtual campuses where students can meet, attend classes and create content together.
If you would like to experience a non-intrusive demonstration of a virtual session, (you can remain at your desk and spend less than ten minutes online), let us know. We'd be happy to invite you to one of our virtual conference centers. We have an avatar that you can use to attend the mini-session. It will give you a taste of why business giants have not just dabbled in this new technology, but overhauled the way they do training in order to reap substantial benefits.
"IBM, with 330,000 employees worldwide, could recover more than 9 years' worth of wasted time every week by replacing all conference calls with virtual meetings". - Ian Hughes, Virtual World Promoter for IBM
