EIPM Training Process |
|
|
Blended Learning Process
Today the EIPM delivers executive training programmes world-wide to train and educate purchasing professionals in 7 different languages.
In this endeavour we face numerous challenges :
• Multinationals face a real challenge to identify the competency gaps and training needs
• Delivery of effective quality training in an accelerated time frame.
• Implementation of concepts into daily practice
“Does this training bring actual returns to the company, be it both tangible and/or intangible benefits?”
This is on the minds of HR and Purchasing directors after the initial investment spent on training the staff. Our challenge is to improve the ROI of our clients.
We have hence built our training philosophy to answer to these challenges through the effective roll out the “Blended Learning Process”.
This is an integrated learning process which covers three main stages: Pre-learning stage: the assessment of training needs to pre-learning, the Actual learning stage: either face to face or distance learning, and finally, the Post-learning stage for the implementation of individual participant projects.
