Design and Implementation of a Learning and Development Strategy for Neander Motors

Neander is an innovative engineering company who are developing a new generation of efficient and premium diesel engines.

The challenge
Neander has a large global network of distributors and customers. They are from different cultural backgrounds and speak over 18 different languages and need to be trained quickly in two core areas: Technical Support and Sales and Marketing.

After an initial consultation, Learning Perspective was commissioned to:

1. Support to shape and define a learning and development strategy for the design and implementation of learning materials suitable to each audience.

2. Research into and recommend a Learning Management System (LMS) to host the learning.

3. Develop learning materials and courses.

4. Support the implementation of the learning and development strategy.


Consultancy actions
A Learning & Development strategy was created with curriculum maps, syllabi and dealer level learning journeys for 60 hours of learning. Also included was the audience profile, presentations regarding understanding how people learn, competitor training evaluation, and development organisation according to the ADDIE model.

LMS specifications list for Neander was created and compared alongside a vast number of LMS systems through trials and demos before a recommendation list was presented.

Ongoing collaborative work with Neander teams is now enabling the creation of bespoke blended learning experiences (eLearning - asynchronous and synchronous, and face-to-face) as appropriate to the learning objectives. These include gamification, videos, interactive diagrams and scenes, presentations and ultimately virtual reality.
