  1. CLASSROOM TRAINING: DOES IT WORK FOR SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION?

  2. Introduction • Classroom training can be utilized for sales training or to develop other soft skills, however when it comes to software, classroom training has some serious disadvantages. • Loss of Productivity • Scheduling Difficulties • Costs • Poor retention

  3. 1. Loss of Productivity • The major disadvantage to classroom training is the huge disruptions to your business. • If an employee is in a classroom training session, they’re unable to do their regular work. • For organizations adopting Salesforce, every minute your sales team is in a classroom training session is a minute they’re not out selling.

  4. 2.Scheduling Difficulties • Scheduling classroom training sessions can be burdensome depending on the size and location of your workforce. • If teams work in shifts or across several locations, you’ll have to schedule and pay for multiple training sessions. • Also as more companies rely on remote workers, classroom training becomes less feasible.

  5. 3.Costs • Classroom training isn’t cheap. • In addition to hiring an instructor, classroom training costs could include travel, lodging and food. • Switching to digital training methods can provide significant cost savings.

  6. Few facts • IBM saved $579 million in 2 years by switching 50% of their classroom trainings to a digital format. • Oracle’s use of on-demand training saved more than $10 million. • Microsoft was able to reduce training from $320 per person to only $17.

  7. 4.Poor retention • Most people struggle to retain the information they learn in classroom settings. • Most users will forget everything they learn unless they make an effort to actively review the training materials every day. • Unfortunately, most users return to their desks after a training session and immediately get back to work. Before long, most of the information from the training is lost.

  8. Alternatives to Classroom Training for Software Implementation • Product and digital adoption platforms, like Apty, provide an alternative to ineffective classroom training sessions by providing real-time support and guidance directly in the application • Apty's Guided Workflows will walk users through each task step-by-step. This allows users to learn on the job and enables first day productivity for new users. • This hands-on real-world approach is a more effective way to train.

  9. “Most people don’t want to sit in a classroom and listen to someone. Rather than have them in a classroom, they’ll learn as they do it. We actually want them being productive while they train” TRY APTY
