This provides the team with product knowledge, promotions, market penetration strategies-all in a very short period of time.

Project Team Skill Enhancement-Project teams on critical business processes coordinate with functional consultants towards developing & deploying their solutions. More often than not, most of the team members will not be available for live conferences due to time constraints and their inability to pin themselves at the particular time when these live conferences are scheduled. The record/playback functions available with live eLearning solutions are particularly useful and come in handy for all the team members to go through.

Role-related Competency Development-A typical blended approach is utilized for these types of training, where the participants go through self-paced learning contents available and go in for an instructor-led live eLearning session.
