Be Strategic, Not Reactive

Move beyond a simple development relationship to a partnership that delivers a customized learning strategy with long-term savings.



Looking to raise quality and responsiveness while lowering costs? Then it's time to forge a Strategic Learning Partnership (SLP) with Allen. We'll help you create an enterprise-wide strategic development process which maximizes every development effort and budgeted dollar.


Unfortunately, many organizations continue to approach their outsource options project by project. Why is this problematic? Because it isn't cost-efficient, takes too much time and allows for unnecessary errors. In this approach, every new project starts at square one. In large initiatives, this method opens you up to redundancies, mismanagement and waste.


On the other hand, an SLP helps mitigate costs over several projects, enhances consistency and eliminates reoccurring procurement, ramp ups and reviews.



 


Our consultation service cements our commitment to a great customer experience by analyzing and matching your objectives and business needs. This is especially important for any SLP as we can determine both your long and short term goals.

Reasons for a Strategic Learning Partnership with Allen:

Shared vs. One-Time Costs

Processes for ensuring quality and
on-time, on-budget delivery add up to at least 25% of a project's cost. In an SLP, Allen can spread this cost over multiple projects without sacrificing quality, time or budget. The result? An average savings of 5-10%.
Consistency

It's difficult to ensure consistency over multiple projects when each project is done by a new team starting from scratch. In a partnership approach, you get a dedicated team that applies lessons learned and it's growing knowledge of your organization's objectives across all projects. Put simply, it's easy to maintain consistency between designers and graphic leads when they work together as a team over multiple projects.
Scope Change Mitigation

Content changes, legal issues in review, executive demands, and SME availability. The fact is, unforeseen issues come up in most projects. An SLP gives you wiggle room when they do. In an SLP, when these issues come up, rather than compromise on quality or increase scoping, both partners can look to future projects to address where, when and how to tweak them to keep the initiative on track.
Innovation

SLPs are, by nature, forward thinking. Rather than one-and-out, the partnership helps you refine your vision and take innovative approaches to achieving your objectives. Plus, Allen will work internally to create processes and technologies that facilitate your long-term goals.
Economies of Scale

With over two thirds of the development cycle tied to production, economies of scale exist. Large budgetary and resource-intensive items, like photo shoots, content development, translation and localization services, can be applied over numerous projects, significantly impacting costs and quality, not to mention shortening the production cycle.
