What is the Strategy Roadmap?

The Strategy Roadmap focuses on five core strands which are:

  • Business case
  • Governance
  • Technical infrastructure
  • Content acquisition

Business case

  • developing a business case
  • benchmarking existing initiatives
  • post investment review

Governance

  • quality assurance
  • educational design standards
  • management of impact

Technical infrastructure

  • interface standards to ESR
  • learning courses
  • links to libraries

Content acquisition

  • collaborative groups of early adopters
  • agree statutory and mandatory materials

Preparing the service

How to assess progress against it?

The process for assessing progress against the e-Learning Strategy Roadmap is influenced by the standards and processes that are identified during the planning stage. You will need to assess progress and success against the identified standards.

In is important to link back to business objectives and goals. During the planning stage you will have identified how e-Learning will meet business objectives. The aim of assessing progress is to identify if you have achieved the aims identified in relation to these objectives. This will enable you to prove how e-Learning has helped the business to meet its objectives.

To provide value to the organisation you must create solutions to business problems and opportunities. These must be understood and supported by management. Priorities with which to link e-Learning goals could include:

  • effort to make cost savings
  • demand for exemplary customer service
  • changes to technology
  • audit requirements
  • quality of care

Are your e-Learning goals linked to the business goals?
