A Proven Remote Team Updated 10 Courses in Under 90 Days

The challenge

An international investment company needed instructional designers to update 10 eLearning courses for its Branch Support Group. The project was a year behind schedule, and the local talent pool had dried up, leaving the team with no qualified candidates.

AXIOM had qualified people, but many were not local to the company's headquarters. Working with remote consultants was new for this client.

The approach

After a needs analysis, AXIOM recommended remote consultants, which widened the talent pool substantially.

• Walked the client's representatives through hiring and managing remote consultants, and supported communication with the consultants once they started.
• Selected consultants with the right industry experience and a proven track record of working remotely.
• Placed a consultant lead and two instructional designers who had already worked together on a previous AXIOM project, so they could communicate easily and move through each stage quickly.

The results

• 10 eLearning courses updated in under 90 days
• All three consultants retained by the client for future projects
• Training used by thousands of the client's employees nationwide

Why it worked

A team that already knew how to work together, matched to the client's industry and ready to start.
