Giunti Labs and Cegos meet demand for high quality talent
management and personalised learning
In response to employers' growing demand for active talent
management within their workforces and the current trend towards the
personalisation of learning materials, Giunti Labs and Cegos, to
further strengthen their on-going partnership, are collaborating to
integrate Cegos' catalogue of learning materials with Giunti Labs'
learn eXact LCMS.
The two companies began their collaboration in 2007, when Cegos'
selected Giunti Labs - the leading learning and mobile content
management solution provider - and its flagship learning content
management suite (LCMS), learn eXact, to transform Cegos' existing
offering into a new generation, off-the-shelf and blended learning
catalogue - combining classroom training, e-learning and pre- and
post-training evaluation in a modular, flexible, personalised
solution for end user organisations. In 2009, Cegos and Giunti Labs
were awarded the Gold IMS Learning Impact award for building Cegos'
Management Skills Catalogue using the learn eXact LCMS.
Cegos' catalogue serves some 200,000 learners worldwide and provides
over 200 modules in 14 languages, with options for using these in
the context of blended learning.
"We now endorse Giunti Labs as our main e-learning content
production and management partner and the learn eXact platform as
our main and first choice LCMS solution for any blended processes
needing e-learning implementations in addition to Cegos' in-house
services," said Pascal Debordes, eLearning Director at Cegos.
"Cegos is benefitting from reductions in time and costs involved in
content authoring and management through using the Giunti Labs'
learning content management system," Debordes explained. "And, since
this collaboration enables learner tracking and reporting on all
e-learning, learners now experience substantial cost savings - in
both travelling and time - through reducing the amount of classroom
based learning they need in order to achieve competence."
"In a world of rapidly developing competition, organisations need to
identify their workers' skills, knowledge and competencies, as well
as deliver the right learning content to each user just in time,
where and when the user needs it," commented Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO
of Giunti Labs.
"So, Giunti Labs' products help to meet the learning
individualisation needs of contemporary organisations through the
skills-based personalisation features of its eXact Portfolio - an
ePortfolio and skills management system to help clients attract,
develop and maintain employees, as well as align them to corporate
strategic goals, to build a lasting competitive edge - as well as
the location-based and multi-device channel capability of its eXact
Mobile modules for the learn eXact LCMS."
Cegos runs a comparison analysis - to benchmark blended-learning and
classroom-based delivery worldwide - on an on-going basis. To date,
all results show improved learning retention, performance and
quality of achievements within the organisations using the Cegos/
Giunti Labs' system.
Moreover, Cegos' clients report that the module-based format is
highly effective in supporting targeted usage. They also claim to
have found it excellent in terms of the customer interface.
"The Cegos catalogue can be loaded on any learning management system
(LMS), and related tracking can support planning and management
within the competency development cycle," Debordes said. "All
content is SCORM compatible and tracked, allowing for a highly
personalised diagnosis of learning gaps and needs, which are then
addressed in the blended scenario."
The Cegos online catalogue - which is continually growing to
accommodate changes in learning topics - addresses 12 business
programs, including: Management and Leadership; Project Management;
Finance; Professional Effectiveness and Development; Sales and
Marketing; Purchasing, as well as Training Expertise.
Content, as well as style and graphics, has been created for
international use and is currently available in 14 languages.
Courses are localised following the best international practices,
adjusted to suit the local context and culture where the learning
program is deployed.
