Our Approach

Needs Analysis

Aries has a creative team of professionals from diverse fields of expertise that specialize in creating overall solutions for knowledge and information management. Aries provides an extensive analysis of your current training program and then plans an organized method to develop and implement a fully functioning e-learning training portal with curriculum specific to your operational needs. Aries will analyze your existing infrastructure and assess the various e-learning needs of your organization to determine how e-learning programs can benefit your existing education model.

Strategic Planning and Visioning

Strategic planning consists of procedures used to define your direction on the path to e-learning. Aries helps with every step of the strategic planning process by establishing and reaching the goals set within your e-learning project implementation process.  A shared strategic vision is developed and then an action plan is produced. The action plan outlines the management structure, steps, roles, responsibilities, and time-line necessary to complete the project successfully.

Creating, sharing and validating knowledge are fundamental processes if your organization is to keep up with a fast-paced economy. Team building workshops along with periodic meetings assure quality e-learning programs. All of the team members and all levels of the organization must be informed about the progress and changes in direction as the project proceeds. The communication plan ensures that all participants stay aware and involved.

Aries maps out improvement for the following areas:

• Determine knowledge management needs 
• Identifying knowledge sources and paths
• Improve knowledge processes
• Creates an intranet that enhances knowledge sharing
