European Technology in Learning Life Cycle Management Being Brought to the Middle East by AGT and IMC AG

The IMC concept is based on the fact that there is more to learning management than distributing educational materials via the Internet. Successful learning solutions clearly orient the solution to management targets. With CLIX, its Learning Management System and LECTURNITY, its authoring tool, IMC offers an integrated solution approach to Learning Life Cycle Management with a high level of advisory competency and superior design concepts for individual content solutions.

IMC’s Advanced Learning Solutions are directed at supporting a comprehensive, integrated Learning Life Cycle in commercial enterprises, educational institutions and governments. This includes the function of designing and controlling the teaching and absorption processes to specifically build up employee competence and the systematic planning and optimisation of training resources. The efforts require integrated planning, control, analysis and evaluation, and the result is that the learning processes are integrated with business goals.

Anas Chbib, Managing Director of AGT sees a definite need for integrated learning solutions; “e-learning is on a rapid growth curve, and at the same time users are demanding solutions that address the intricacies of 21st century business. The flexibility required in today’s organisations can only be implemented if the decisions of management can be communicated to its employees rapidly, and their proper execution can be assured by comprehensive training and education.” 

Frank Habermann, Senior Vice President of IMC goes further: “The ability of employees to cope with the speed of change in the business environment or in business practices on their own, is being stretched to the limit. To avoid an unacceptable lag in employee reaction time, companies and institutions must have a comprehensive strategy in place to make staff a part of the process of change rather than an obstacle to it. This can be accomplished with a properly constructed learning management solution.”

In order to create such a solution, IMC supports its clients in:

• Developing a Learning Management Strategy
  Adapting a company’s personnel, organisational and change management processes to that strategy

AGT’s Chbib is enthusiastic about the potential of the alliance with IMC for both partners: “IMC has an outstanding reputation in Europe for providing Learning Life Cycle Management solutions in all types of learning and organisational environments. This coupled with AGT’s broad base of clients in the public and private sector in the region, and our own technologically advanced solutions and integration skills, should create a synergy that will appeal to all strata of the market and reinforce the position of both companies.”
