LearnShare was founded in 1996 by a consortium of Fortune 1000 companies who were seeking to join together with a shared mission to transform the way their companies research, design, purchase, package and communicate career development and skill enhancement. This visionary group, the Owners, included General Motors, 3M, Motorola, Owens Corning, Deere & Co., O-I, Eaton, Northwest Airlines, Pfizer Inc, Pilkington, Chevron, and UnitedHealth Group. Since that time, the original 12 owners have been joined by more than 30 more of the largest most diverse corporations in the world representing more than 2.5 million employees around the globe.
Today, LearnShare members benefit from a decrease in cycle time, cost, and experimentation, and an increase in the successful implementation of learning and development solutions that support the bottom line. It achieves these objectives in four distinct ways:
Curriculum & Content Development
LearnShare identifies, evaluates and sources best-in-class courses regardless of vendor or brand name. We align them to your company-specific competency maps and develop curricula to meet the needs of your population. You will be able to access courses on a "pay-per-use" basis.
Technology
The LearnShare technology is customizable to meet your company needs and can integrate with your company's technology infrastructure. It can act as your web-based LMS or integrate to your intranet or internal LMS as a central location for all e-learning.
Best Practices
A consortium the size of LearnShare offers members the opportunity to learn from other Fortune 500 companies. You are a part of the elite in the training and development world. As such, you can gain valuable information from companies that save you time and money and enhance your success.
Collective Strength
On occasion, there are initiatives that a consortium of 42 companies can drive that individually they cannot accomplish. LearnShare captures the collective strength of major companies in negotiation and industry initiatives. |
