Your business-critical training project needs leadership with a proven process. We’ve got it.
Design2Train is the Training Project Leadership company with their own proven system to reduce project risk, hold production costs, and consistently launch complex training On-Time and On-Budget since 2001. Guaranteed.
Did you know? Training industry research reveals up to 75% of complex corporate training program launches FAIL. Training failure is measured three ways:
▪ Program delivery misses the critical launch date.
▪ Project went over-budget due to re-work and extra added content.
▪ Program didn’t deliver on the expected business outcomes of the promise of training.
Who gets the blame? It’s really not fair, since corporate training divisions got disbanced, the responsiblity of product launches fell upon division or business unit program managers. They were tasked with leading a complex training project without proper guidance to select the right process, people, or manage the 150 identified tasks — we’ve identified — to build training products from concept to launch.
How do we know? 100% of our clients, have beat the odds — with On-Time and On-Budget successful launches — in all types of industries.
