Web 2.0 business skills
development tool launches at HRD 2008
Web 2.0 innovative technology-enabled learning and development solutions
from new provider Digital Training Videos (DTV) are being launched at
this year's HRD event in London.
DTV delivers engaging, relevant, up-to-date business skills videos direct
to desktops. Core benefits in DTV training are greater value,
flexibility, choice, quality and trackability.
Focusing on communications, teamwork and leadership advice, Digital
Training Videos -
www.DTVuk.com, empowers users with key knowledge for professional
self-improvement in a fresh, entertaining, accessible and affordable way.
The DTV service has been developed by communications specialist,
Deliverers -
www.deliverers.co.uk, which for the past decade has been designing
and delivering bespoke corporate communications solutions and programmes
to thousands of employees of UK and international brands including
AstraZeneca, Schering-Plough, Virgin and HMV.
The service launches at HRD (April 15th -18th 2008, London ExCel) on
Stand 500 with an initial release of 20 newly produced films under the
categories of communication, sales, customer service and teamwork. New
content and titles are being uploaded every month.
DTV offers bite-sized videos (between eight to ten minutes long) and
downloadable support material, available on licence packages or
pay-per-view pricings. DTV users can view and select from an easily
navigable topic library, spanning personal and professional development,
management, leadership, coaching, communications, customer service,
sales, teamwork and sustainability.
Specially designed to meet learning needs across the organisational
hierarchy, from strategic senior CEO levels to foundation entry
positions, DTV's training and development contents are based on intensive
in-depth research, consultation and advice from industry leaders,
authors, lecturers & professors at major UK universities and business
schools.
DTV is intended as an employee performance support system (EPSS) for
large organisations and academic institutions to provide just-in-time (JIT),
just-enough and 'just-for-me' learning for learners who are
geographically dispersed.
Yet, thanks to its low cost and accessibility, it is equally appropriate
for individual self-learners and workers in small and medium enterprises
(SMEs).
Users can plan, monitor and analyse individual or team learning progress.
Time spent on each topic can be recorded to determine the user's learning
route and chart future development goals.
Each screening is an end-to-end learning experience with accompanying
support material including a learning pack, summary buzz-bite video and a
topic quiz to reinforce key learning points.
Managers' packs will be available for corporate account team leaders and
managers to email video links to their staff as well as allowing them to
download materials for facilitating training workshops based around their
video choices.
Head of DTV, Sean Walsh, sees real value for users in DTV's core
strengths of delivering interactivity, innovation, and up-to-the-minute
business skills learning in a format that is affordable as well as
educational and entertaining.
"In a fast-changing marketplace, demand for enhanced professional skills
in leadership, communication and decision-making is increasing," he says.
"We are providing the choice and flexibility to take learning out of the
classroom and into the home and workstation with high quality, relevant
content that entertains and educates.
"The payback for individual and employer is shared intellectual health
and wealth," he adds.
Pre-launch response to the DTV concept has been extremely positive. A
November 2007 survey (See Editor's Notes) of senior learning and
development professionals found 59% rating soft skills as 'very
important' with in-house training, video/DVD and e-learning the most
common methods of training. Fifty two per cent of respondents manage
budgets of between £50,000 to £250,000; 33% of these would allocate up to
30% of budget to digital learning solutions.
For further information, click on www.DTVuk.com where users can view a
video tour and examples of the extensive catalogue.
Organised by the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD),
HRD 2008 runs from April 15-18th at London ExCel, open from 0930-1700
hours.
