This recognition is a true testament to our mission of creating meaningful, memorable, and motivational learning experiences that produce measurable results and performance change.
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) October 14, 2013
Allen Interactions, an innovative custom learning design, development and strategic consulting firm received four awards from the Brandon Hall Group in the Excellence in Learning category.
Allen Interactions, in conjunction with their partnering client organizations, received the following recognition from Brandon Hall:
Gold – Best Custom Content Winner, Manhattan Associates
Manhattan Associates' Gold, award-winning e-learning course provides the opportunity to take a virtual tour of a typical Distribution Center. In this e-learning course, learners not only "tour" a Distribution Center, they also “try out” the activities performed, and experience first-hand, the challenges to manual processes and benefits that Manhattan's software-enabled optimization provides. Through the tour, learners meet with people who work in the Distribution Center and experience how they are motivated. To accomplish this, a series of mini learning events build around each stop on the tour.
Experiencing a virtual Distribution Center allows learners to employ context to their projects. Recognizing how the role of the Distribution Center plays in to the supply chain provides learners with an understanding of how their work helps the success of the business and the success of Manhattan's clients.
Silver – Best Results of a Learning Program, AutoNation
As America’s largest automotive dealer, with over 20,000 Sales Associates, AutoNation found itself facing a common struggle—too much content, too many people to train, too little time for training! AutoNation needed a more effective and efficient way to train advanced sales skills—a method that was scalable, repeatable, and minimized the amount of time spent away from the sales floor.
Recognizing that simply presenting content to the learners in an e-learning course would not lead to behavior change, AutoNation partnered with us to design and develop an hour-long e-learning course as well as Instructor-Led Training to build confidence in Sales Associates, preparing them to present a Sales Menu to customers and to discuss their needs with the manager at the sales desk.
Delivering a new method of training, coupled with the recent investment in a Learning Management System, led some AutoNation leaders to question whether or not these expenses were justified. Therefore, solid metrics on performance improvement were necessary to overcome skepticism. Download the AutoNation case study to read about this sales training success story and measurable results!
“This recognition is a true testament to our mission of creating meaningful, memorable, and motivational learning experiences that produce measurable results and performance change,” stated Michael Allen, CEO of Allen Interactions,
