JTPFour is here!

JTPFour, the name is derived from the names of my family. What it stands for as a company is our commitment to making our clients happy through quality services that everyone involved in the company are proud of.  For 19 years as a consultant, I have delivered quality services in Learning – whether focused on customizing an off the shelf product, setting up a hosted environment (before the cloud) for global companies, or creating content to help people perform at their peak, learning has always been at the core of the activity.

Our company is focused on the learning industry, but that can be split into 2 parts – the learning management system (LMS) and the learning itself (content, instructional design, etc).

We have seen many companies spend millions on implementing a state of the art LMS only to see the company not realize the return on investment because no one used the system, it wasn’t setup right, or there was no real reason for employees to go to the LMS.  Many of us have a daily list of sites we look at to feel like we are up to speed….how many of us include our companies LMS in that list.  I would venture no one except the learning and development function within your company.  Is that a bad thing?  Not necessarily.  We don’t need to force the LMS into your employees’ daily lives…at least not explicitly.  Instead of forcing them to the LMS, the content should draw them there and the content should always be the star.

Content, classes, learning, eLearning, CBT, WBT, whatever your company calls it – that should be the driving force behind why your employees go to an LMS.  Consistently updated, new, relevant content will help your users in their work life and will help your company’s bottom line by enabling your employees to execute on the mission.  Making the content engaging by using gamification, simulations, and even assessments keeps your users coming back for more.

We can help you by providing a holistic approach to learning.  Helping you make your learning function work like a finely tuned machine is possible with the right combination of focus on the content and the LMS. Let our consultants help you and your company reach your goals.
