Experience it yourself

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the platform. It is a highly secure platform, which is business critical for some of our clients. It’s very flexible from a programme point of view; it’s completely designed to support the delivery of almost any development programme. Paul and his colleagues are continually evolving the platform, so it never stands still.

It has been fantastic to work with you to develop our new preceptorship learning pathway and thank you for all your wonderful support and advice.

The benefits of using the online learning pathway have been wonderful, as the pathway enables us to have online access to the preceptorship portfolios and is a very user-friendly and easy system for our staff to use. Preceptors and preceptees using the system have already commented on how easy the pathway is to use.

The pathway has also become an essential tool in ensuring timely reports on how the preceptees are progressing. As preceptorship lead, I found the pathway very easy to use, when developing our new preceptorship programme and Paul has been a fantastic help.

We introduced the Learning Pathway as the platform to support our new Electric Coaching Programme at the end of 2015 and have found its interactive style a very good way of helping candidates really embed their learning into their workplace. Its modular design enabled us to develop a series of short practical activities that encouraged candidates to engage with the self-managed element of our Electric Programme between their attendance at the initial workshop and their final assessment interview.

People Alchemy understands how learning needs to work and the role learning transfer has in that. The system mimics this thinking. It shows an understanding of what needs to happen for us in L&D to be effective and make a difference. And because of that understanding they develop the technology in the right way. They focus on what it is you need your people to do because the system can enable that.

Because mentoring is really embedded in the heart of what People Alchemy does, it started a culture shift from traditional learning to a more experiential model of learning where 70% of the learning is done by the individual leading themselves, and in conversation with their mentors and people within the wider team. People Alchemy is one of the tools that’s enabled us to start changing that mindset.

People Alchemy showed that they considered the whole problem we were trying to solve, and how their products integrated into a wider solution that would work for us. They didn’t just try and ‘sell us’ their product. It is this considered approach and their conduct throughout the whole bid process that has shown them to be unique in the market and a pleasure to deal with.

I like the Induction Pathway because it encourages people to learn for themselves, to find their way around systems and processes and to share their learning with their manager. As it’s in modular form, people can dip in and out to refresh their knowledge at any time. It also needs minimal resource to keep it up to date – when processes and policies change people find the most up to date version.
