Sharing Employee Knowledge at Unipart Advanced Learning Systems
Unipart Advanced Learning Systems (UALS), the consultancy arm of The Unipart Group of Companies, had knowledgeable, highly skilled operators who were masters of their craft; but when these operators left the company, their knowledge left with them. Training new people to have these skills was a matter of "sitting next to Nellie" as there were no formal methods for capturing expertise and using that knowledge to develop the skills of others. But by using Course Genie, UALS practitioners, with a deep understanding of organisational knowledge tools, worked with training managers in each of the companies to develop a shared approach to creating small e-learning modules via Course Genie that could be used to capture existing knowledge and translate it into training material.
