Without data, you\u2019re just another person with an opinion<\/p>W. Edwards Deming

<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s digital world, content may be king, but data is definitely a deity. Companies use data to measure just about every conceivable parameter. Not using data from customer training programs to support your business goals is the equivalent of skydiving with an umbrella. You can hope for the best, but the outcome is most certainly not going to deliver the results you want.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you use data to support your business? And how can the data derived from your training programs make a genuine impact?<\/strong>


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much better decision making<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter how you slice and dice it (you can take that as a pun, if you wish \u2013 we are, after all, talking about data), every decision you make needs to start with the data. The ability to collect, process and draw relevant conclusions from different sources data is vital to developing effective training programs which are beneficial to your business.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s little point in churning out learning and training programs if the professionals who design them don\u2019t gather (and act upon) some extremely relevant information. It might be at what time of day or in which market your users are learning. Another piece of relevant data could be on what device your users are consuming their training. Understanding whether they are learning from a mobile device rather than a desktop\/ laptop could indicate that learning is much closer \u2013 and more relevant \u2013 to the learner\u2019s actual work.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you want to track how long your users are actually spending on a particular module. If your module is 4 minutes long and your user is only learning for 1 minute, then this is mandatory to know so you can either adjust the length of your module or adapt the content.

Yes, at first, it can be intimating<\/strong>

Big Data is a term that is thrown around these days and not everyone understands what it means or how valuable it is. It\u2019s a term used to describe large, hard-to-manage volumes of data and, if used as it is intended, helps us target exactly how we should plan, structure, and execute our future learning programs. Data should be analyzed for insights that improve decision-making and support (or otherwise give legitimacy to veto) strategic moves related to future learning programs, empowering decision-making and otherwise support the business.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to supporting the decisions you need to make about future learning, and in fact, most decisions made within the company that drive its KPIs and its overall business goals, all point back to the data. What you learn from the data helps you shape future learning.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of this requires continuous data analysis. Big Data literally helps us understand how we should plan, structure, and carry out learning so that it is as effective as possible for our target audience.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if you\u2019re not Gen Y or Gen Z and you either have trouble accessing the data or you just don\u2019t know how to interpret it? Although there are many ways to drill down to collect relevant data, the simplest is Google Analytics and it\u2019s broadly available and quite user-friendly. There are actually lots of sites that can help you use it.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SolarEdge Global Customer Training, we use Google Analytics, which provides us with a full picture of how the learning programs we design are performing. It doesn\u2019t just present you with the raw data the platform collects, but rather harvests a vast amount of data and processes it intelligently, generating reports which present a very clear and personalized dashboard. This dashboard, presented as graphs, provides you with critical insight to make informed business decisions while also validating your assumptions. Furthermore, you can use the data from Google Analytics to support you in identifying current and future trends.
