Who says instructor led training (ILT) needs to be a series of dry slideshows? At Allen, we help you discover the best methods and strategies for motivating your learners and affecting real change. Like we did for a recent client with a tight deadline looming for a sales training session at their annual sales conference.
Allen’s solution involved a simulation that employed a friendly competition amongst teams of reps. The fun, engaging method realistically simulated their sales environment and proved so useful, the client now uses this simulation as part of their standard onboarding process.
We create courses, activities, timelines, PowerPoints, handouts, guides, maps, scenarios, games, and more that make your ILT motivate your learners and achieve your objectives. We take you step by step—from analyzing content and objectives to designing layout and even training the trainer—to create the look, feel, and message that elucidates your objectives and captures the attention of your learners.
Five ways we capture your learners:
- We’re experts at bringing multimedia into the classroom for use in demonstrations, games, and scenarios.
- We believe in bridging the classroom experience with the work experience. We specialize in designing tools, wizards, reference materials, and other job aids that improve knowledge transfer and actually maximize on-the-job productivity.
- Our classroom simulations go beyond simple role playing exercises and scenarios to create realistic work environments with fully-developed, complex challenges. We break down classroom walls, spark competition, build teamwork, and inspire learners to reach higher levels of analysis and critical thinking.
- We have a team of instructional designers whose skills complement those of your trainers. Instructional design and stand-up training are related but different skills. Much of ILT is overly (even entirely) dependent upon delivery. Our designers seek to maximize your trainers' delivery skills with engaging activities and materials that can be successfully adapted across your entire training team.
- We know which training modalities will best meet your needs and will design a blended curriculum that leverages the strengths of each modality. We map out the learner experience—the complete experience—across the full range of tools and resources available, including coaching, assessment, goal-setting, instructor-led training, web-based training, on-the-job training, job aids, maintenance training, and more.
