One of Herridge's key areas of expertise is Integrated Performance Support Systems (IPSS). We provide the tools that develop competence and confidence to perform well on the job.
ISOPIA needed to minimize learning support to clients after they purchased their Learning Management System (LMS) product.
Herridge developed an Integrated Performance Support System (IPSS) that enabled purchasers to become proficient in all tasks they would want to do on LMS.
We also developed and delivered a 2 day facilitated learning program for the client on LMS. UNIQUE ASPECTS:
Learning and support were developed for a 3rd party audience - clients of ISOPIA.
The IPSS served a wide variety of end-users ranging from more technical to novice.
Bank of Montreal Virtual Bank Call Centre
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
The bank implemented new customer service strategies for the Call Centre.
Herridge developed an Integrated Performance Support System (IPSS) that enabled every role in the Centre to do all their new tasks, with the related product and process knowledge.
This constructivist learning program used the IPSS in a way learners taught themselves about products, processes and strategies. This increased retention and reduced learning time
Our program also used instructional gaming to integrate various teams and their paradigms. UNIQUE ASPECTS:
Extreme time constraints and volatile content meant development first in a paper-based format.
Our development approach allowed for quick and easy re-purposing to an internet-based format.
