Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We implemented Go1 last year to enhance the learning and development opportunities of 350 colleagues across the organisation. The product had to be readily accessible, meet a variety of training needs due to different project teams activities and intuitive to use. Go1 had to accommodate not only providing good course content but arranging and scheduling external course events in partnership with one of the leading colleges in head office location. The ability to design and create our own courses, course contents and scheduling was a real bonus.

Pros and Cons

Ability to create own courses, use existing or create own content and schedule course dates
Ability to utilise extensive course content into courses combining a mixture of available course and develop own content
Notifications being automatically sent to attendees and managers
Ability to sync with our Core HR system to track any weekly movements

Ability to edit notifications could be improved as they were not always taking the customised messages that we would like to send to attendees
Have to develop own reporting suite to monitor users and course attendees.

Return on Investment

Supports the organisations strategy as utilising the latest technology
Promotes additional support to colleagues training available especially at a time and location which suites them
Visibility of training being undertaken by colleagues
Course creation allows the further development and support of our On-boarding and induction process for new joiners
Enables collaboration with external educational institutions
Promotes the organisation's culture supporting its 350+ colleagues individually

Ease of Integration

We connected Go1 one to our Core HR system to provide a weekly update (our choice of lead time ) and the two systems have since been integrating with one another every week without fail. It is slightly tricky to set up the Automated Programme Integration (API) if unfamiliar with concept, however yet again our Go1 project manager was great in supporting and testing the integration as part of the initial implementation.

Likelihood to Recommend

Go1 is specifically suited to situations where an organisation wants to quickly introduce and further its training agenda among colleagues. The vast curriculum of courses enables colleagues to readily select content that they would like to undertake without any upfront internal development work on course preparation. This is a big time saver.
