The Challenge

Fostering the continuous growth and development of employees is a core value at MaibornWolff. Each team member is allocated an annual training budget to keep them abreast of technological advancements, driving innovation and excellence throughout the organization.

The challenge at hand was to harmonize disparate learning systems across MaibornWolff’s diverse locations and teams. Catering to over 1300 users while preserving familiar features demanded ingenuity from both the LearnChamp and MaibornWolff teams. Rather than settling for mere adaptation, we revolutionized Totara’s standard features, uncovering untapped potential to address the unique needs of the client.This transformative process not only presented significant challenges but also highlighted Totara’s adaptability and the power of innovative thinking.

Furthermore, the client’s unwavering dedication to excellence was evident in their ability to deliver customized content within a strict timeline, reinforcing their commitment to surpassing expectations.

The Solution

By implementing Totara, MaibornWolff has revolutionized their approach to learning. Previously spread out across multiple platforms, Totara seamlessly integrated all learning resources – from seminars to e-learning courses and user-generated content – into a unified system.

This transformation brought much-needed structure and clarity to their learning environment thus empowering learners to easily access the most relevant materials at the right moment. One of Totara’s standout features are its comprehensive reporting capabilities, providing managers with real-time insights into employee training budgets. The integration of custom reports and Totara’s seminar management functionality has streamlined the coordination of seminars, substantially reducing administrative overhead for MaibornWolff.

Additionally, their collaboration with LearnChamp has resulted in innovative solutions, such as a bespoke dashboard block that visualizes learning journeys. This interactive feature utilizes images as backgrounds with interactive hotspots, enhancing user engagement and navigation through the learning path.

With Totara Engage MaibornWolff has cultivated a global collaborative learning environment. The documentation and overview functionalities facilitate seamless collaboration among team members worldwide. Users can exchange insights on a variety of topics, and participate in quick surveys, transcending geographical boundaries. Currently, MaibornWolff is integrating AI engines to further enhance the platform’s capabilities and ensuring continuous improvement and innovation.

The success of the Totara implementation can be attributed to the extensive onboarding and ongoing support provided by LearnChamp and the close collaboration between the teams. This joined effort ensured a smooth transition to Totara. Furthermore, Totara’s inherent customizability empowers us to continuously enhance the platform according to the evolving needs of MaibornWolff, ensuring long-term sustainability and effectiveness in their learning initiatives.

Through Totara, MaibornWolff has not only transformed its learning management approach but has also laid the foundation for continuous innovation and improvement, leveraging technology for enhanced employee development and organizational growth.

The Results

The company’s implementation of OAuth2 as the primary Single Sign-On (SSO) ensured a fluid and secure entry into the system and significantly reduced the overhead costs associated with managing multiple login credentials.

Additionally, the integration of seminar management functionalities, including the Facilitator’s functionality, led to time savings in tasks related to seminar session creation and facilitator bookings.

LearnChamp’s development of a specialized dashboard block introduced a gamified perspective to the learning journey, empowering administrators to upload custom images as backgrounds and define hotspot coordinates. This new feature enhanced the visual representation of courses and optimized learning administration, reducing the time spent navigating through training materials.

The well-structured positional and organizational hierarchies within the system enabled managers to efficiently oversee and manage team members and their training budgets. This efficiency translated into tangible cost savings and improved resource allocation strategies.

Moreover, the extensive utilization of reporting functions provided managers with comprehensive insights into learning outcomes and compliance levels, facilitating decision-making and strategic planning. Courses tailored to the specific needs of each target audience ensured high engagement and effectiveness, resulting in a significant increase in compliance levels.
