In our busy busy world we barely have time to think, let alone reflect and put aside enough time for learning.
As a trainer for many years, I have watched how it has become increasingly difficult to gather executives together for even half a day's training.
Deliverers.online is a company which, for the past ten years, been designing and delivering bespoke corporate communications solutions and programmes to thousands of employees of UK and international brands including AstraZeneca, Schering-Plough, Virgin and HMV.
It recognised that an opportunity exists for highly focused, short and sharp professional development packages. It set about incubating a new company now called Digital Training Videos, or DTV for short. It reckons that an eight to ten minute video can be fitted into anyone's schedule. It's not the same as a live course, with the interaction and live Q&A but it gets key point across in an effective way.
The videos cover topics such as personal and professional development, management, leadership, coaching, communications, customer service, sales, teamwork and sustainability. And, according to the blurb, does this in a "fresh, entertaining, accessible and affordable way". (I'm still waiting for an answer on what 'affordable' means, but the signs are promising.) The videos can provide just in time learning or form part of an employee performance support system (EPSS) for large organisations.
DTV will reveal its first 20 products on April 11th at HRD 2008 at London's ExCel centre.

Here's some data on DTV pricing just in:
ReplyDeleteAiming at providing price flexibility across an organisation's needs and budget, DTV is based on a credit system priced across five charging levels, from as low as 0.50p per viewing on a one-time subscription fee (Level 5 for a large organisation of 7,000 users or more) to a fixed rate of £4-50 per viewing (Level 1 for individual users or SMEs) with no subscription fee involved. A Level 3 license for an organisation targeting 350 users or more brings an average per-view price of £2-00. All prices include each video's 'buzz bite' and learning pack (exc. VAT).
Thanks Peter. Greatly appreciated.
