New Research Reports
Thinking of Switching Your LMS?
Almost 40% of organizations are in the process of upgrading their current learning technology in order to focus more on performance. This research brief explains the practices to successfully prepare for the successful transition to a new system.
The MOOC: What Learning Leaders Need to Know
This research brief is a primer on MOOCs and how business organizations are beginning to use them for internal and external learning initiatives. The report includes some use cases from major organizations, including Microsoft, World Bank and Turkish telecommunications giant Turkcell.
Excellence in Practice: Custom Content Usage in Healthcare
This Excellence in Practice profile features three healthcare organizations Fresenius Medical Care, Gentiva, and Norton Healthcare that are meeting their unique healthcare training requirements by creating customized content courses to support their employees specific learning needs. Each of these companies is an award-winning organization in the Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards program.
Award-winning Case Studies
These case studies winners of 2015 Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards were released for publication this week:
HP’s Innovative Video Training
In order to reach channel partners and global learners, HP needed a way to supplement the traditional training they offer to partners and staff that would reach the intended audiences in a consistent and engaging way. Thus HP Server TV was born, and the medium has reached thousands of employees worldwide. This earned Hewlett Packard a Bronze Award for Best Use of Video Learning in the 2015 Excellence Awards.
Boeing Develops L&D Governance
Having resources operating without an overarching strategy and plan can be inefficient at best. Boeing, in an attempt to curtail this problem, developed a governance model for its Learning, Training, and Development organization (LTD). This plan supported everything from supplier management to service level agreements, ensuring a total fit to the business needs. This earned the aerospace company a Silver Award for Best Advance in Establishing Governance to Guide Leadership Development Decisions in the 2015 Excellence Awards Program.
Aegis Living Markets Its Employer Brand
When it comes to hiring in a competitive industry, branding is an important part of the decision-making process. This case study highlights how Aegis Living used Glassdoor Employer to market itself to potential candidates and highlight stories from existing staff. The private healthcare organization is based in Redmond, Washington, and earned a Bronze Award for Best Recruitment Marketing and Employer Branding Program in the 2015 Excellence Awards.
Webinars
Today’s HR: Modern to the Core
Todays employees want easy, 24/7 access and self-service options for do-it-yourself freedom that offers them personal controls with no delays associated with third-party intervention. We explored the best HR service delivery methods, which take all these concerns into account. This webinar reviews the trends in core HR systems and processes, including user experience, simplicity, real-time updating, and mass personalization.

Research-based Blogs
Signs of a Struggling Talent Strategy
About 24% of organizations surveyed in Brandon Hall Group research cite high-performance talent strategies as the quickest path to generating and sustaining business results. In this blog post, Laci Loew shares three ways to identify problems with your organization’s talent strategy.
Analyzing the Analytics
The era of analytics is here. Weve been talking about it for years, but companies are starting to actually do something about it. While attending the HR Technology Conference in Las Vegas last month, every conversation eventually touched on analytics, and while it may seem like a “buzzword” to some, there is genuine business value to be found. In this blog post, David Wentworth explores this trend and what organizational leaders need to know.
Storytelling and Change Management: How Amtrak Creates Positive Action
Data without a story is less compelling and less likely to drive change. In this blog post, Cliff Stevenson revisits a recent learning event where he was able to listen to the SVP of Total Rewards at Amtrak discuss the company’s challenges and change management approach. This explores the power of storytelling and offers a look at how to improve influence with this critical skill set.
