CD2 Learning: CD2 Learning System of Engagement

A talent management system is comprised of the four pillars; recruitment, performance management, learning and development, and compensation management. A responsive and winning content strategy is needed to support talent management functions such as on-boarding and succession planning, as well as other information management needs of the organization. The war for quality resources in the talent management space leads to lack of strategic human resources lowering the learning and development tangent. To overcome these impediments, CD2 Learning has developed an ecosystem with built-in content authoring, simulation, learning management and talent development in a scalable cloud-based setup. The premier firm increases engagement through rich multimedia simulations, gamification, social collaboration and micro learning. “Most importantly, we reinforce learning through easy to use practice opportunities, while providing valuable analytics, tracking, reporting and learning management,” affirms Becky Sterling, President, CD2 Learning.

With CD2’s ecosystem, each piece of content and assessment question is aligned to a particular learning outcome. When the user completes the learning and takes the assessment, the Personal Learning Path dynamically generates additional content needed to ensure learning goals are met, based on established criteria configured by each client. “We define content as a granular asset, an element, a single, distinct type of information,” says Sterling. These building blocks are grouped as uploaded files, authored content, and embedded resources. Each reusable asset is meta-tagged and associated with searchable fields such as name, description, keywords and references. Such granularity allows for immediate and easy location of a significant desired resource, all mapped to specific learning outcomes. “Unique to our system is the built-in patent pending gamification and simulation engine called, Innovator,” affirms Sterling.

Moreover, CD2 offers a customized talent development ecosystem combining the Ken Blanchard Companies’ leadership content and library, CD2’s Talent Development Toolkit and Learning Process Map (LPM). The Talent Development Platform consists of a focused library with proven content that can be enhanced and practiced through the use of Leadership Process Map and toolkit.
