The PLM Ready user enablement solution builds on the Deployment phase of the RAND Worldwide TakeAIM (Assured Implementation Methodology) program, a proven five-phase project implementation approach, derived from extensive experience with PLM deployments across a variety of industries. PLM Ready employs sound instructional design and technical writing methodologies to target training to various user roles across the organization so that end-users are able to focus on the tasks and processes most pertinent to their area of expertise. Leveraging standard RAND Worldwide training modules, courseware can be quickly adapted to company-specific workflows and environments.

The PLM Ready user enablement solution is delivered in three phases. An instructional analysis is employed in the Discovery phase to gather information on the training goals, audiences, processes, and environment. Following this, companies receive a training plan that details course content, learning aids, and roll-out schedule for the training. In the Development phase, our courseware developers efficiently configure instructional content to produce student training guides, learning aids, eCourseware, and other collateral to meet the training plan. Finally, in the Delivery phase, training is rolled-out to end-users in formats such as instructor-led, delivered by RAND Worldwide Technical Training Engineers, and online, delivered through the RAND Worldwide ProductivityNOW portal.

PLM Ready is designed to quickly make end-users proficient with their companies’ PLM technology by providing them with targeted process-based learning. This increases end-user confidence and productivity, while reducing overall deployment time and need for follow-up support.
