HRD PRESS and INTERACTIVE TRAINING, INC, join forces to deliver leading Management training workshops via the web...
Unique, new Managing to EXCEL™ series to combine interactive instruction with manager's job aid functionality
AMHERST, MA, September 25 - HRD Press, a leading publisher of books, workbooks, and training materials for human resource development, and Interactive Training, Inc. (ITI), an pioneer in Web-based business skills course development, today announced a joint marketing agreement to deliver HRD Press' Managing to EXCEL™ management training suite over the Web. Managing to EXCEL™ is an industry-endorsed collection of workshops that address the twelve fundamental areas of management competency. ITI will partner with HRD Press to transform Managing to EXCEL™ into twelve engaging, self-paced courses available to managers and corporate trainers on an anytime, anywhere basis via the Web. The online version of Managing to EXCEL™ will be released in December and will be priced at $75.00 per course.
The Managing to EXCEL™ series was originally developed by Scott Parry, the noted management consultant and author, and was completely revised in 2000 to reflect new issues and training techniques. Managing to EXCEL™ divides management competency into four fundamental areas; Relating to Others, Building the Team, Managing Your Job and Thinking Clearly. Each area is then broken into three comprehensive but concise learning modules covering the specific skills and knowledge for that area. ITI will design and program the courses with integrated audio, text and video, additionally offering interactive games and exercises, tips and resources, and examples from real-life management experiences.
"We are excited about the opportunity to bring HRD Press' comprehensive curriculum of management training workshops to the Web, where they can be accessed by a wider audience of managers who strive for personal improvement in their job performance, without leaving their jobs," said Dr Paul Earl, president and CEO of Interactive Training. "We welcome this opportunity to partner with Interactive Training, an innovative developer of web-based training, to convert the proven content of the EXCEL™ series into an engaging, web-based learning experience. Using these interactive lessons, managers will be able to quickly access key information, then, using interactive forms, apply the knowledge in a problem solving mode to their own management situations and issues. This approach represents new potential and functionality for online learning."
