3. The Service Manager The demands on a Frontline Service Manager are many. The Service Managers needs to be proficient in many skills, including: Leadership in the workplace, Planning and budgeting, Training and mentoring, Consumer laws, Industrial relations laws; Workplace safety, Service level agreements, I.T. Q.A., and more. Yet, service managers are often selected from the ranks of the service delivery staff who show technical ability and personal leadership skills. How do these new service managers, supervisors or team leaders acquire the necessary skills to effectively manage a service business? Quite often it is ‘On the run’, learning as you go, by copying and learning from other managers. While this method is fine, if time allows in the right circumstances, some questions may be asked : Is this the best way to learn? Is this the most cost-effective way to learn? How time consuming is this method of learning for everyone concerned? Is there a better way to service management skills? 8/16/2010 3 Daniel G. Fuchs / http://www.danielgfuchs.com

Fuchs / http://www.danielgfuchs.com 8 Reducing Training Costs With Targeted Online Training In a tough economic climate, smart choices must be made to reduce ongoing costs and improve effectiveness. One prominent area where expenses can be driven downward is in the delivery of targeted training and skills enhancement. Many organizations face a stark choice: find a cost-effective strategy for delivering targeted education or don’t do any training at all. And performing no training at all is not an option in the long run. This white paper presents realistic examples that demonstrate how online training using the Login & Go system drives down ongoing training costs. Conservative assumptions are made concerning individual cost drivers and the utilization of classroom facilities to ensure fairness. These examples utilize a model where the organization needs to offer classroom or online education to 250 learners. Considering 100 users rather than 250 yields consistent results, and an organization with 1000, or even 5000 learners experiences the same benefits, though at a greater magnitude.

9. 8/16/2010 Daniel G. Fuchs / http://www.danielgfuchs.com 9 Utilizing Log in & go for targeted training reduces costs right away, not in some future year or budget cycle. Log in & go produces faster cost reduction than other technology-based training solutions due to the elimination of hardware, software and other startup expenses. Scenario details, results and assumptions are identified in the following pages:

10. 8/16/2010 Daniel G. Fuchs / http://www.danielgfuchs.com 10 Scenario 1: Your organization has 250 employees, customers, partners, affiliates or customers to train. Let’s keep the numbers conservative and assume each learner needs just two courses during an average year. Let us be more conservative and assume no instructor or learner incurs any travel costs for classroom training. In these circumstances, how does classroom training compare to login & go online training?

12. Classroom courses average 20 students per class. Thus 25 separate 2-day classroom classes are conducted to handle the 500 enrollments.

13. Classroom courses are 2 days in length, on average. Thus there are 50 classroom days, or 400 teaching hours for classroom courses.

14. An administrator or assistant accepts and tracks enrollments, administers and grades tests. Assume 1 hour per student enrolment, and thus 500 hours total, costing $30 each.

15. Classroom facility is 1000 sq ft, at $20 per square foot annual cost, plus $10,000 cost for audio, video and workstations. Annual costs are thus $30,000. With 50 training days, you are utilizing ¼ of the available days, and therefore responsible for ¼ of the facility costs.

16. Training materials for classroom training are assumed to cost $20 per set.

17. Learners already have internet connections for other purposes, at work or at home, so no new internet browsers or connections need to be built.

19. 8/16/2010 Daniel G. Fuchs / http://www.danielgfuchs.com 13 Additional Assumptions: 50% of all learners live remote to central facility and would need to travel for classroom training. Thus 125 students, two trips each per year, or 250 learner trips. Airfare assumed to average $300 per student per trip, with two nights hotel @ $80 per night, $30 meal allowance. Total $520 per learner per trip. 250 trips * 520 = $130,000. Non-tangible benefits of online training vs. classroom training Some of the most important benefits of online training don’t fit neatly into a data table. Consider the following effects of online training which are difficult to quantify, but which have a positive impact on the organization: 24 X 7 availability: The login & go system is available around the clock, allowing learners to perform their learning activities at their convenience, at home or at work.

20. 8/16/2010 Daniel G. Fuchs / http://www.danielgfuchs.com 14 Asynchronous Learning: Learners and instructors can interact and collaborate without being online at the same time, easing scheduling conflicts. Concrete results: – Login & Go provides automated testing for every learner and course, something which is often omitted in classroom training. Consistent Quality: Online courses are built once and delivered many times, providing a known consistency, while classroom instruction can vary in completeness and quality. What About Doing No Training at All? It may be possible to get by without the critical training your organization needs. You could simply mail out some word documents or power point files, or place some text on a web site and invite people to go out and read it. But the results of this strategy are usually systemic and painful, and may include: Poor performance due to lack of knowledge or skills Low morale High turnover A perception among staff that the organization is not committed to excellence Legal and professional non-compliance Higher costs in the long run due to decreased performance and increased errors and omissions Can You Afford To Do Nothing? Most companies and organizations simply cannot continue with business as usual. Management expects costs to be reduced as soon as practical and in every possible area. Many are turning to Login & Go for its immediate impact on training costs. The Login & Go program is simple and easy to understand: Complete authoring and training applications with secure menus Flexible configuration and authoring guides, and online Help system Flexible subscription periods Unlimited courses and enrollments You retain complete control of all courses, material, testing, reports and records
