The past years have radically altered the manner in which the business world learns. Companies are compelled to become ever more agile and transformative and consequently there will have to be far greater emphasis on enabling workforces.
Meanwhile, a disrupted operating landscape with fresh business challenges requires us to rethink how we train our people. Naturally it makes little sense to be attempting to solve today’s challenges with yesterday’s tools.
A new toolkit is needed.
Learning and Enablement Gets an Update
Transforming business always starts with people. Education has therefore taken on ever greater strategic importance in today’s fast-evolving and automated environment, where workers are called upon to undertake new tasks and exhibit different skill sets at a moment’s notice.
Learning can therefore no longer be considered a single event, but a continuous and ongoing process intrinsic to a modern way of daily life and work. As such, the manner in which training is delivered needs to be reexamined. Learning must be more accessible, easier to consume, and altogether more straightforward and efficient.
Latest Generation ERP Requires Novel Learning Approaches
The need for a new era of learning holds especially true when it comes to wiring your business up to Intelligent enterprise resource planning (ERP). Making the most out of a state-of-the-art, smart operating system necessitates pairing it with the requisite skilled personnel to run it. The Intelligent Enterprise requires smarter ways of learning.
Knowledge unlocks the power of SAP S/4HANA, as demonstrated by the latest independent research findings from IDC. We understand that better training delivers considerable benefits. It:
- Speeds up deployment timeframes: 70 hours or more of initial administrator training reduces deployment time by 1.5 months.
- Is a performance enhancer: When users are well trained on SAP S/4HANA, organizations typically attain 14-times greater improvement in their KPIs.
- Facilitates faster expansion and roll out: Not only are well trained organizations able to deploy SAP applications faster, but they also enjoy broader and faster deployments across the organization.
- Increases customer satisfaction: Organizations are 104% more likely to be highly satisfied when users are well trained).
