Using e-learning to make change management more successful

Organizational Change Management (OCM) is an essential part of any change effort and affects all areas of the business. Companies that want to increase efficiency and gain competitive advantage must implement new technologies, processes and tools quickly and effectively. Training and preparing employees for the changes play a central role. The best new tool in the company is of no use if employees cannot use it profitably in their work processes. This is where corporate e-learning plays an important role: interactive, anytime, anywhere and self-directed learning.

Advantages of corporate e-learning  

With e-learning, you do not only offer your employees the possibility of carrying out training courses flexibly in terms of time and location, but also address the different learning types in a targeted manner. Through the use of interactive elements, videos, knowledge checks and also sound recordings, variety is offered and the content to be taught is conveyed in exciting sections that can be digested by the learner. In addition to the advantages for the employees, you as the knowledge provider have the great advantage of saving time and thus costs. We all know how difficult it is to gather a large number of colleagues on a few dates for a training course, and to do this as separately as possible according to the individual target groups. The further transfer of knowledge then usually has to take place between the employees and can hardly be controlled in terms of sustainability. Train your organization to target the needs of your workforce and provide them with a long-term reference tool.

Evaluation and follow-up

An important component of Organizational Change Management is the evaluation of the results and the follow-up of the process. For this, a learning management system gives you the ability to track employees' progress and evaluate their knowledge and skills, and do so in a verifiable manner if desired. This enables the knowledge broker (e.g. process manager, IT service manager, system manager, training officer, etc.) to assess the effectiveness of the training and make adjustments if necessary.

E-learning in practice

In many companies, e-learning is already being used successfully to shape sustainable change. Through the sustainable transfer of well-founded knowledge and practical application examples, e-learning helps to successfully shape change processes and strengthen employees for future challenges. Thanks to the flexibility and customizability of e-learning courses, employees can be prepared for change more quickly and effectively. However, successful integration of e-learning into the Organizational Change Management approach requires targeted planning and training, as well as regular evaluation and follow-up.
