The CM Team worked with many of its clients to benchmark KPIs (key performance indicators) and best practices. For this course, we developed a blended strategy that leveraged this work by:

  • Providing a gap assessment tool that focused on the KPIs the parts and service managers have access to and control over; enabling them to identify their best opportunities for improvement
  • Designing a flexible ILT that offered individualized learning and group feedback
  • Offering a business simulation in which to practice a variety of “what if” strategies in a safe environment
  • Creating an action plan; publishing it on their portal that includes a dashboard to track progress and generates monthly reminders for senior management review and coaching
  • Joining an online, virtual quarterly discussion with the same cohort to continue the exchange of best practices

BENEFITS

Outcomes were measured tracking progress closing the targeted KPI gaps in the manager’s action plan developed during the learning experience and follow-up reminders automatically sent for monthly review.
