BERSIN & ASSOCIATES © DECEMBER 2012 • LICENSED MATERIAL IMPROVING EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION Beyond supporting the organization’s primary initiatives, Bankia’s new learning solution also had to support the organization’s change in focus from expensive and inconsistent instructor-led training (ILT) toward a mix of e-learning, ILT, on-the-job training and beyond. In short, the organization needed to implement an entirely new learning content management strategy and architecture, while training employees on new technologies and system software. Adding to this challenge was Caja Madrid’s merger in 2011 with several other banks that formed Bankia, Spain’s largest bank. This case study will examine: • Business challenges facing Bankia, along with the 2011 merger with several other banks including Caja Madrid • Bankia’s current four-phase approach for training employees on the technological integration of other banks • Lessons learned and best practices from Bankia’s new learning content management architecture, and its enterprisewide training initiative for its new technology and systems software • How a new learning content management strategy and architecture helped to: o Reduce the number of learning content assets needed to make employees more productive and efficient by 40 percent o Reduce content development by 20 percent o Reduce the need to formally manage projects by 30 percent o Make the most of the knowledge of the organization, its partners and collaborators o Complement the organization’s corporate learning management system (LMS), collaboration software and electronic performance support system (EPSS) o Save in training costs THIS MATERIAL IS LICENSED TO EXACT LEARNING SOLUTIONS FOR DISTRIBUTION ONLY.
