Encouraging personal development has become an intrinsic element in businesses effectively managing performance. Learning rather than training offers a just-in-time rather just-in-case approach!

Organisations use Echelon’s services to commission authors and subject matter experts, to copy edit for learning design and consistency, and to publish in text and electronically distance learning material for personal and professional development.

We also offer generic personal development content either for individuals to access or for organisations to license. Self-learners have differing learning preferences. This is reflected in the variety of learning styles used in the 2,000+ generic modules Echelon has published and warehoused on www.learningmatters.com/. Clients choose from a range of over 50 business and management topics by selecting those which match their business imperatives. Click on this link to view our self-development solutions.

You can also review our portfolio of Action lists that offers a brief and portable reminder of things to do when putting a particular management skill into action.

If the preferred learning style is to read around a subject, to review case studies or consider the latest academic approach, the choice of learning might be best practice essays or digests of management books.

There is a free module at the bottom right hand side of each topic page which demonstrates the differing learning style.

For some self-learners it’s valuable to record learning which has been undertaken either for continuous professional development (CPD) purposes or as evidence for some qualification. View one of our client’s sites which makes use of such a facility Learning Log.

Clients benefit from using these resources blended with their in-house information and learning so that employees have 24/7 access to a comprehensive personal development resource.
