The latest releases of Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Project Desktop 2010 were launched over 16 months ago, with many of the features required for managing work and projects.

Microsoft Project Professional 2010 has been widely acclaimed as the best ever release of Microsoft Project. SharePoint is considered by many to be the de facto industry standard platform for collaboration.

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 now has a template for managing a project and also has a list that synchronizes with Microsoft Project, so it is clear the SharePoint team is encouraging us to use SharePoint to manage work and projects.

Listen while Éamonn McGuinness (LinkedIn profile) CEO of BrightWork describes how.

Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Category C – Free PDU
Recorded: February 14th, 2011

• You conduct a thorough training needs analysis to be sure you are targeting the most relevant training needs and objectives that clearly tie back to and support the business objectives of your organization.
• You take painstaking care to put together the most perfect and relevant training design possible, insuring that all learning modalities and adult learning styles are addressed.
• You conduct the most rousing and engaging training presentation anyone could imagine.

And then what?

If you are like many of us, you then HOPE the learning sticks and that what you taught gets used…

What about training reinforcement?

Everyone says training reinforcement would be great but the participants are busy back at their ‘real jobs’…and it really should be done by the supervisors and managers but they don’t really know exactly what was covered in the training…and besides, you are now on to your next training project and really quite busy yourself…

You deserve to get the highest ROI for all the hard work in preparing and presenting the training…and the participants deserve all opportunities possible to get the most out of all the planning effort.

So what CAN be done to reinforce the training and boost the learning? View this webinar by Vital Learning to find out.
