Learning and Development, the engine behind innovation and superior performance, is frequently cited as the only sustainable advantage that companies possess. From this standpoint, integration of performance and learning is vitally important. A good Performance Management system will enable an organization to take its strategic and business objectives, and map them to individual goals.
OTP offers just such a system that allows team leaders to continually monitor individual and team performance and suggest interventions, including learning, mentoring and coaching as appropriate.
Organizations should monitor their collective skills inventory, and be knowledgeable about skills gaps compared to future needs.
Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement.
In our experience when Performance Management and Learning are linked, organizations race to higher levels of performance, employee satisfaction improves, turnover drops, and a keener, more tightly knit organization emerges. This then forms the foundation for successful introduction of new strategic initiatives.
Blended Learning
In enterprise development today, the term “Blended Learning” denotes the use of classroom instruction and eLearning. Some learners have a strong preference for learning from a presenter and classroom interaction, while others are adapt at self-paced computer-based instruction. The latter have adopted e-Learning well, though the percent of such users out of the total employee pool remains small. Thus, organizations have resorted to offering employees both options, particularly in the field of compliance training.
OTP believes there are alternate forms of blending the learning besides the example above. We pioneered blending e-Learning and book-based learning in 1999 at a Global 100 company. Today we offer a blended learning solution for Competency Development comprising printed guide books and multi-facted content delivered over the web.

60-Minute Workshops
|
|
| |
These modules deal with significant chunks of material in a modular format. Usually adapted from a book or seminar, the Workshop is intended to give a broader perspective on a topic, touching on several important facets of a discipline. They are the most interactive of our offerings, including a variety of quizzes, exercises, and assessments to provide instant feedback. The student can choose to work through the entire Workshop for an overview of the topic, or concentrate on only those modules that have immediate relevance.

20-Minute Clinics
|
|
| |
These short, tightly focused learning sessions are designed to teach a specific skill quickly. You can acquire an essential skill when time is short and you need to handle a situation immediately. Clinics are particularly useful when there's no time for lengthy training — for instance, when a sales meeting, negotiation, business dinner, or presentation is on the calendar and you need to know what to do right now.
