CLO DASHBOARD™ PUTS LEARNING EXECUTIVES IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT
New product from Zeroed-In Technologies measures and reports on goal attainment using key learning indicators
Linthicum, MD -- October 19, 2004 - Zeroed-In Technologies announces its flagship product, CLO Dashboard™, a strategic reporting and decision making system for chief learning officers, learning managers, and executives. CLO Dashboard provides tools that align an organization's goals and objectives with key learning indicators and their supporting measures, then collects data and reports progress through a graphical dashboard.
CLO Dashboard is built on a performance management framework and is tailored to the learning industry with predefined indicators including learning efficiency, learning effectiveness, compliance, and readiness. The system contains a library of key industry measures such as training cost per student day, completion rates, and Kirkpatrick Evaluation Levels that correlate to user-defined business objectives and aggregate up to reflect goal attainment. Measurement data is collected from key business systems such as learning management systems, learning content management systems, human resource, and financial systems. The system employs Dash Alerts™ which provide immediate recommendations and corrective action when measures lag or exceed defined thresholds.
A recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll of U.S. executives in July and August cited more than 60% of their time is spent on strategic thinking and planning, and the planning of measurement and monitoring activities. "Chief learning officers must continually show the value of learning to the enterprise. Planning and measuring their strategy are crucial but time consuming", says Chris Moore, President of Zeroed-In. "CLO Dashboard accelerates that effort and gives learning executives a single place to monitor all key learning indicators, and the business intelligence they need to make timely decisions to support or counteract trends."
The main page of the dashboard shows a series of odometer-style gauges for each indicator and its supported goal. Executives can drill down to reveal underlying objectives, key measures, historical and projected trends, and comparative industry benchmarks. The system also keeps track of strategic learning projects by monitoring timelines, resources, and key milestones.
CLO Dashboard is 100% web-based and interfaces with other systems using Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Web Services. The system will provide built-in connectors to leading learning platforms including THINQ, Pathlore, EEDO, and Questionmark.
Zeroed-In is holding a formal beta test program with select organizations. Those interested in participating can apply at the Zeroed-In website (www.getzeroedin.com).
