Your boss wants to know if you think these training modules will work for some upcoming training. The training will be for 25 people in your organization, at a cost of $150 per seat, for access for 2 weeks. You will be reporting to your boss as to whether you think your organization should purchase these trainings to use.
You will provide a one-page analysis (each) for each of the training videos (choose two); and then on your final one to two pages, you will discuss the business case for using these modules (or not using them). This might include the cost-effectiveness of providing these modules as training to your organization, the benefits of using these modules for training, or any downsides and alternatives you recommend to use. Based on your best estimate, determine whether you feel the value of the training will be recouped by the organization through a benefit (savings) or whether it will be borne by the organization as a necessary expense. Feel free to supplement your analysis with your own assumed facts. (Be as creative as you want to be.)
Title Page and Executive Summary
On the front page of the report, use a title page. On the next page, create a brief executive summary (four to five sentences, tops) that provides the topic of your proposal with your final recommendation. Assume that your supervisor may want to use that document to send up the chain as a training recommendation, so include any specific numbers you feel are important in that document. (Because this is a report to your supervisor, title it as an executive summary to get practice in business writing method.)
Training Video ______ Analysis 1
Explain the background of one of the training videos, the content, the learning objectives that it would meet, the time frame it will take, and the style of learners it will appeal to.
Provide a brief analysis of the quality of the training tutorial and whether it seems worth $150 per seat, and give at least one alternative training method that could be done (and at approximately what cost). Use at least one alternative method of training discussed in Chapter 7. Finally, discuss the cost of live-styled traditional training—hiring an expert in the field of the tutorial's topic—or whether you feel you have in-house experts who could do this training just as well. These alternatives can be summarized and explained briefly.
Training Video ______ Analysis 2
Write a similar analysis and write-up of the second training video.
Additional Training Proposal
Propose to either use these videos for your training or some alternative method for training. In your proposal, explain to your boss (using professional-style writing) the reasons for your choice. Include the concepts that are covered in Chapters 7 and 8 as reasons for or against the use of the training tutorials, videos, or modules, or your alternative method you proposed on pages 1 and 2.
Conclusion
Provide your final recommendation in your concluding paragraph.
