On any given day, an organization’s senior leadership can be involved in numerous tasks, some of which, may not even be related to that individual’s managerial function. So, how do the upper layers of a company stay abreast of trending tools and technologies, and potential opportunities, if they’re bogged down by a plethora of other issues? How do they grow, professionally?
While face-to-face training has been the norm for quite a while now, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to spare that kind of time and money in such a dynamic and competitive market. Imagine your senior leadership being out of sight in a moment of crisis. Sure, contingency plans always exist, but after all, guidance from your mentor is like none other.
For executives, digital learning programs work best as they allow leaders to continuously learn and grow without interfering in professional and personal lives, and keep an executive motivated to complete such programs given the more appealing and interactive nature. Coming in the form of e-learning and virtual learning, mobile learning, social learning, and even hybrid learning for a more holistic experience; digital learning services provide organizational leaders with benefits that positively affect not only the individual, but trickling up, the organization overall.
Digital resources provide management with greater flexibility, allowing them to focus on what’s required in the moment, while still working towards furthering their professional prowess at a more convenient time. This also means significant cost-savings to the organization, allowing the individual to progress at a steady rate while financial resources can be allocated in such a manner to supplement the education being provided, reaping greater benefits for the organization as a whole.
Additionally, “self-paced” can still mean “on pace” when done right! Specialized learning techniques such as games and tailor-made assessments can increase engagement levels and supplement knowledge retention. On top of that, refresher modules keep leaders aware while instant knowledge updates keep them on their feet. Your leaders will be ready to tackle existing problems more efficiently, and new ones without hesitation.
