Digital maturity model for the business area
0
Manual catalogue, sales and participant administration
Programmes, enquiries, proposals, registrations, payments, groups and certificates are managed with separate tools.
1
Separate administration and content tools
Registration, documents, content, assessment and communication are managed with different tools.
2
Digital standard process
Basic registration, content delivery and some communication take place digitally, but exceptions remain manual.
3
Single programme commercial and participant journey integrated Typical current situation
In selected programmes, catalogue, registration, payments, groups, communication and completion operate in one chain, but not all programmes and B2B exceptions are managed uniformly.
4
Data-driven training organisation Target
Sales, group fill, content, participant results and recurring revenue data are used for decisions and programme development.
5
Adaptive and reliably automated ecosystem
Content, support and administration are individualised, whilst CPD and competency data are managed transparently.
Key finding
The greatest value lies in connecting the entire commercial and learning process.
Participant history must be preserved from the first marketing contact through to completion and the next proposal.
First priority - one complete training process without re-entering data.
