DigitalThink announced that KPMG Consulting will expand its relationship with DigitalThink by adopting its recently enhanced DigitalThink E-Learning Platform. As part of the agreement, KPMG Consulting will also provide DigitalThink's full catalog of e-business, IT and soft skills courseware to
its 10,000-plus employees worldwide, and together with DigitalThink will develop custom courseware for KPMG Consulting's workforce.
DigitalThink recently announced improvements to its E-Learning Platform, which include DigitalThink Learning Management and DigitalThink Reporting & Analysis. "In order to track the impact of our learning initiatives it was critical for us to choose a company that could provide us
with a platform that has the tracking and reporting capability we need to assess the impact of our learning strategies on our key business imperatives," said John Higgins, chief learning officer at KPMG Consulting. "DigitalThink has been a strong supplier in the
area of custom course development for us and leveraging their learning management system is the next logical extension of our relationship."
An important new component of KPMG Consulting's company-wide learning strategy is the introduction of learning paths for each individual employee, which are determined through a process of up-front evaluation of the professional development needs of each individual in the company. Using DigitalThink Learning Management, employees will be assessed and an individualized learning path developed to help every person realize their own professional potential through learning.
Regular review and complete analysis of all learning initiatives will be possible using DigitalThink Reporting & Analysis. As a result, KPMG Consulting will be able to track the contributions of its learning initiatives to its overall bottom-line business objectives while also monitoring the individual development progress of each employee. Key stakeholders will now have the ability to generate data and reports, demonstrating the effectiveness
of learning initiatives in increasing productivity, retention, market share and revenue.
