Why digital Learning and Blended Learning

In 2016 already, 70% of companies said they want to set up digital training and concepts in sales and leadership (Training Magazine’s 2016 Training Industry Report). Digital training is more than a fad, it is the learning format of the future.

The time of digital and blended learning has come. Digital learning offers you a wide range of benefits that make this innovative way of learning by far more effective than classical classroom-only trainings.

1. It´s cost effective:

No travel and logistics cost when rolling out a training. And even more importantly, sales reps are not kept from doing their job. So no lost revenue due to taking the sales team off the road for several days.

2. It speeds up onboarding of new hires:

It can easily take up to nine months for a new sales rep to ramp up to the team´s average productivity. This is often because of time-consuming onboarding seminars and trainings. Imagine how much you would gain if a digital academy reduced onboarding times from nine to six months!

3. Higher learning success:

The integration of more learning media and methods (videos, webinars, documents, onsite trainings) results in significantly higher retention and adoption rates for trainees. This makes learning more fun for trainees and adds to your company success.

4. Control over learning progress:

Based on assessments and course completions, you will always know about the skills and learning progresses of your trainees. So you can quickly identify additional potential as well as individual coaching needs.

5. Maximize training outcomes:

Learners have access to the courses whenever, wherever and how often they want. So they can work through the courses based on their individual preferences. They can successfully acquire the learning content and come to the classroom trainings ready for practising and optimizing their individual training outcome.
