Results that matter A track record of success HSBC - INFO CRM HSBC Private Bank created an integrated solution to replace the previous Client Relationship Management system, INFO. The new solution comprised of a portal to enable a single entry point to two new applications, CRM and EFOS. FDM Group trained up to 500 users in this new Global Portal solution. Training took a Just in Time approach to avoid skills fade and to ensure all 500 users were ready for the launch date. Due to delegate time restraints, FDM trainers conducted four one-hour sessions per day. In the remaining time each day training administration was conducted, including chasing no shows and re-booking delegates. At project commencement, a detailed training needs analysis was undertaken to determine the needs of the different delegate groups by job role. This document made a number of recommendations regarding the training roll-out including the preferred delivery mechanism. Once this was complete, training development started. FDM was tasked to deliver the following collateral: Delegate guide Trainer guide PowerPoint slides Glossaries & quick reference guides Assessments FDM s method for documentation was to blend business process with system functionality. This documented and reproduced a comprehensive training guide covering the Portal, EFOS and CRM. FDM also devised a train the trainer course for HSBC to facilitate knowledge transfer from FDM Group trainers to PBGB trainers on the content taught on the PBGB course. It was also to assist in training individuals on training delivery skills where applicable. Royal Bank of Scotland Global Academy RBS required an integrated global training approach to ensure its employees capabilities were consistent in every location and to accelerate readiness. RBS s Academy will be both a physical and a virtual learning centre that offers a global standard curriculum to all employees. The Technology Academy will be based in India and will deliver training to all employees worldwide. FDM is currently managing a team of five trainers and Documentation Specialist who are coordinating with RBS SME s to develop the course material for five specific streams.
