Members Ask; Our Analysts Answer
One great benefit of Brandon Hall Group members is the ability to ask questions of our HCM analyst team and get quick answers, usually within 24 hours. The questions answered this week included:
- Who is using the Agile approach for learning development? What works or not? We often use Agile to development software but not other types of deliverables. Wondering if others have been able to use it for a non-software product?
- Do you have stats on the average $ spent on training by employee?
- Anybody out there using jive or similar social platform for L&D? I’m in the process of adapting a leadership development curriculum from minimally blended into a full-fledged social curriculum.
