Why should training centers go digital?

Dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion affects all busi­ness­es, and tra­di­tion­al train­ing orga­ni­za­tions must also rein­vent them­selves to meet new needs and new play­ers. Indeed, learn­ers who want to learn are increas­ing­ly con­nect­ed and seek eas­i­er access to train­ing con­tent. Thanks to the inter­net, smart­phones, tablets and oth­er con­nect­ed objects, train­ing is becom­ing increas­ing­ly sim­ple and train­ing cen­ters must take the dig­i­tal turn to devel­op and survive.

Digitalization enriches traditional training

Accord­ing to a study pub­lished by Deloitte and MIT, only 29% of glob­al com­pa­nies are mature (sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly using dig­i­tal tools), 45% are in the process of dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion and 26% are in the ear­ly stages. So there is still real work to be done.

Dig­i­tal learn­ing, in all its forms (social learn­ing, e‑learning, blend­ed learn­ing, vir­tu­al class­rooms, etc.), will enable learn­ers to be bet­ter trained and train­ing cen­ters to opti­mize train­ing and its cost. On the learn­er’s side, the advan­tages are clear:

• A con­ti­nu­ity of their dai­ly habits, both per­son­al­ly and professionally.
• Learn­ing is not done in iso­la­tion because dig­i­tal learn­ing tools are very community-based.
• Learn­ing is adap­tive and evolves accord­ing to the individual.
• The fol­low-up is very thorough.

For train­ing orga­ni­za­tions, the ben­e­fits are as follows:

• Stan­dard­iza­tion and deploy­ment of train­ing on a large scale
• Reduce the time of phys­i­cal pres­ence of learn­ers and trainers
• More acces­si­ble and inter­ac­tive training

Expand your target audience with e‑learning

Dig­i­tal­iza­tion also implies many changes in the train­ing cen­ter’s prospects! Cen­ters that have a pure­ly B2B mod­el will have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to migrate their mod­el to B2B2C, which means that train­ing cen­ters and learn­ers can inter­act live, through the enterprise.

Dig­i­ti­za­tion will undoubt­ed­ly make it pos­si­ble to adapt more quick­ly to the train­ing needs of com­pa­ny employ­ees and indi­vid­u­als who wish to train out­side their com­pa­ny. Indeed, indi­vid­u­als also have the right to learn! E‑learning rep­re­sents a real oppor­tu­ni­ty for train­ing cen­ters that wish to take up the chal­lenge of dig­i­tal transformation.
