Beyond Outsourcing Customer Branded Academies


Knowledge is not achieved until shared - Anon.

Beyond Outsourcing`s world-class outsourced Customer Branded Academies focus on the alignment of training and development programmes with strategic organisational objectives, in order to provide the skills necessary for employees, managers and clients to move in the desired direction and to reinforce their objectives.

The Challenge

Innovation, technology, and evolution have quickly put strain on an organisation`s ability to cope with the demands of modern day marketing. The Human Resources and Training departments simply cannot keep up with the continuous need for training and development.

They don`t have the time, resources, budget, or the expertise to undertake complex training and development campaigns which are ultimately intended to align individuals` organisational competence and development with the company`s strategic business objectives.

Additionally, substantial investments in personnel have seen rising management expectations for a higher return on employee productivity.

Product

Training and education are becoming increasingly difficult. The sheer volume of new products being introduced, the rapidity of evolving product features, and the necessity to innovate and implement promotions at lightning speed, threatens organisations at two levels; Firstly the ability of distribution channels to ensure that products receive adequate support and understanding and secondly the ability of the average employee to keep up-to-date with the latest products and promotions.

Skills Training is an essential partner to product training. Whilst a product may be superior in terms of technology, features and benefits, it is the complimentary skills which ensure that all investments and resources have not been wasted.

The Solution Beyond Outsourcing assists in:

• Constructing customer branded academies/corporate universities
• Designing and delivering product training solutions
• Designing and delivering induction training solutions
• Process training
• Systems Training
• Skills Development Product Training within the academy focuses on the provision of programmes to uplift the technical knowledge and expertise of delegates surrounding specific products.

This could include product features and benefits, branding requirements, policies and procedures training - all geared at creating an in-depth knowledge of the product.

Skills Training courses within the academy concentrate on multifaceted areas - from the skills necessary to convey the message, negotiate, handle customers effectively, and convert the sale, to such specific required skills such as financial management for non-financial managers.

Beyond Outsourcing`s education academies provide a total training solution, with emphasis on skills, and or/product training. They offer everything from identifying training needs, developing programmes, and training - to exams, certification and ultimately feedback to employees to ensure that all objectives have been met. With over 80 000 individuals trained within just two accounts, Beyond Outsourcing has a proven track record and years of experience.
