Completion Report

Project Summary:

The objectives of this project were:

  • Analyse the current processes for capturing learning and development needs across CSG in order to inform a strategy for capturing and reporting on learning and development for CSG
  • Provide analysis and recommendations to help inform a decision on a solution

 

This project has successfully delivered:

  • Analysis of existing learning and development tracking processes for each of the CSG Business Units
  • High level requirements for CSG categorised by Learner and Line Manager
  • Market research summary for learning and development tracking systems at realistic price point
  • Selection of supplier (Think Associates) and product (Totara LMS) using the UK government’s G Cloud framework
  • Recommendations for extending MyEd Events Booking Admin system and BI Suite reporting for supporting training delivery (scoped out of requirements)
  • Signed contract on G Cloud framework with Think Associates and purchase order raised for implementation of Totara LMS (beginning with 500 user subscriptions)

 

Analysis of Resource Usage:

Staff Usage Estimate: 58 days

Staff Usage Actual: 60 days

Staff Usage Variance: 3%

Other Resource Estimate: 0 days

Other Resource Actual: 0 days

Other Resource Variance: 0%

Explanation for variance:

Completed within budget tolerance.

Key Learning Points:

For small market research exercises, engage early with Procurement Office to validate requirements for capturing supplier and product information.

The Procurement Office and IS Applications have learnt a lot about the workings of the G Cloud framework which is already proving useful for other projects.

Outstanding issues:

The implementation of Totara LMS will be a follow-up project (CSG011) starting in January 2017.
