Simplify training data into a single source of truth

A training management system provides the foundation and core to learning tech infrastructure. It’s a platform that sits at the center of your learning tech stack to connect critical learning and business systems in one interface. With a training management system, you can keep your legacy software, LMS, and proprietary systems and integrate them with the platform. Connect training data across the business, manage complex scheduling logistics, and report on the correlation between training outcomes and organizational KPIs.

It’s all about engaging with your data model. Downloading this guide will give you a better sense here, but you can start by understanding how and where data is stored. Obviously, you have a pretty good sense of that for your training operations, but what about the rest of the business? Understanding this is the first step toward connecting your training data to these systems, and beginning to tell the story of how training outcomes are impacting business goals.

With learning analytics, we’ve seen training and development teams pinpoint the causes and stressors of employee turnover, and reduce it by 55%. We’ve also seen enterprise training leaders demonstrate a 10% reduction in annual training costs by optimizing constraints in the training approval workflow. We’ve even seen L&D teams showcase a 10x increase in annual revenue through partner streams by demonstrating the value of a marked decrease in manual operations. The point is, with learning analytics it’s possible to tell a different story than just who took the training, how much they liked the course, and the value they think they’ll get out of the training. You can actually showcase the business value learners receive from the training.

If you’re looking to tell the story of your training team’s impact on the organization, chances are you’d like to demonstrate ROI. Building reports to do so is often a challenging, manual process that relies heavily on spreadsheets and coalescing data across systems and business functions. With learning tech platforms, like Administrate, it’s now possible to generate reports in one system because of data pipelines that share and pull insights from multiple sources while appending that data to the custom fields you create in the platform. Now, you can build reports that quickly demonstrate ROI.
