Sharing good practice about management training - please can I pick your brains

You can set up an VILT or ILT course for Managers only as a start.  Our team created the following instructional materials to support the ILT training:

1. A visual, interactive pdf training manual based on our LMS called Pathfinder
2. A syllabus of the course
3. A step by step video walking them through the processes so they can access it asynchronously after the ILT course

Aside from this we made sure they can reach out to us through our L&D intranet website where they can access all of these materials as well as reach out to us for any specific situations only we can do as LMS admins.  We took in requests from managers on what they would like to be able to do, find the answers, and let them know what they are able to do as managers, power user and not able to do (only admins) so they know exactly what the capabilities are. 

Hi - so there is a physical aspect to this and more of a communication aspect to what you are facing. Lets cover the communication aspect first (getting folks to pull learning towards themselves)

Getting folks to openly pull courses and learning plans too them means they need to:

• have some inherit incentive to go and pull it towards themselves.
• they need to know about the offerings available
• they need it in their faces if they are only used to coming into the system via a push

Now to get things moving and have deeper momentum? It will probably take some championing at the organization. And a good strategy (not necessarily great) - is to approach a business lead to see if they can give you a hand and adopt that learning as something that is a must with their team*.

Getting that to happen can be a bit more about the who you know at your org and your reputation for delivering wins for the org.

*. Also a note - strategically - consider that you probably DO NOT want to do this with your largest workforce. Get a winning example so that you can get that momentum going is not always with the largest cohort at your organization.

There is alot more to this - and there have been a few posts from the customer success team on how to physically make this happen from your platform. Everything from pushing the newletter function, to customizing how the platform looks like for your managers can help to get them more engaged to do that pull.
