We oversee various public entities, including public corporations, regulatory authorities and specialist boards.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">DJSIR was using an old, unsupported version of Totara LMS (v2.9) originally implemented 7 years ago which was very outdated, using legacy and now unsupported features. This made our <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/resources\/guide-to-building-the-perfect-lms-for-your-organization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LMS<\/a> site difficult to support and maintain. The LMS site was no longer fit for purpose, mandatory <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/articles\/totara-learn-11-supports-gdpr-compliance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">compliance<\/a> training was not being tracked for refresher requirements, UI was not mobile response nor multi device and didn\u2019t meet the Victorian Government\u2019s required web accessibility standards. Our LMS was also limited in the modern user experience, modern UI and new features that it could offer our LMS administrators and employees for their learning development.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Working with our local Totara Partner (Androgogic) DJSIR upgraded our Totara LMS site from v2.9 to Totara TXP v14. This involved major reconfiguration, data cleanse, course content review and utilisation of the new, enhanced, available features in the Totara Learn v14 and Totara Perform v14 modules. The upgrade also included several <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/partners\/androgogic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Androgogic<\/a> custom Totara plugins and custom HR data sync and LMS data export methods.<\/p>\n<p>The Totara TXP v14 solution provided DJSIR with a more modern, supported, integrated, and feature rich LMS and <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/resources\/building-a-performance-management-process-from-scratch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Performance management<\/a> system. This included a suite of new functionality to improve the site administration and automation as well as a modern UI\/UX, a mobile responsive and multi device theme, improved web accessibility standards, more robust Performance activity management, improved custom graphical reporting, integration with LinkedIn Learning and other LTI content, better compliance training management using the Certification features.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45677 \" src=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DJSIR-Knowledge-Hub-Production-Home-Page.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"846\" height=\"841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DJSIR-Knowledge-Hub-Production-Home-Page.jpeg 1755w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DJSIR-Knowledge-Hub-Production-Home-Page-300x298.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DJSIR-Knowledge-Hub-Production-Home-Page-1024x1018.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DJSIR-Knowledge-Hub-Production-Home-Page-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DJSIR-Knowledge-Hub-Production-Home-Page-768x764.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DJSIR-Knowledge-Hub-Production-Home-Page-1536x1527.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 846px) 100vw, 846px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">The upgraded Totara TXP (v14) solution provided a modern, supported, integrated and feature rich LMS and Performance management system that included a suite of new functionality used to improve site administration and automation, a modern UI\/UX, a mobile responsive and multi device theme, improved web accessibility standards, more robust Performance activity management, improved graphical reporting, improved learning catalogue, new user <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/events\/a-beginners-guide-to-totara-dashboards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dashboards<\/a>, integration with LinkedIn Learning and better management and utilisation of external training evidence for users.<\/p>\n<p>Learning and Development course completion overview statistics for 2022 &amp; 2023:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45657 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"872\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture1.png 872w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture1-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture1-768x428.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 872px) 100vw, 872px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Totara Learn v14 also allowed us to improve our department wide mandatory compliance training management using the Certification features for all 4,500 DJSIR employees that included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Automated Certification assignment to users (based on job assignments and dynamic audiences),<\/li>\n<li>Certification completion status and refresher requirement tracking (annual, biennial, and triennial)<\/li>\n<li>Certification reporting at both high level (department org hierarchy) and individual users)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Current mandatory training completion rates for all DJSIR staff for the 2022\/23 PDP cycle:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45662 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"872\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture2.png 872w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture2-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture2-768x262.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 872px) 100vw, 872px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Our Totara TXP v14 upgrade also included several Androgogic custom Totara plugins including a comprehensive pre-processed HR data sync plugin that has configurable user deduplication rules and validation, data sync logs, data file archiving and more features usual site administration features.

Androgogic also provided a custom learning data export plugin to send scheduled specific Totara Learn completion data multiple times daily to other DJSIR finance (Oracle) and safety systems (SIMS) to import and link to users with other delegations and roles ensuring they have completed the required training to remain compliant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">With Totara Perform (v14) we were able to automate assignment of over 10,500 individual Totara performance (PDP) activities for all employees in last (financial) year\u2019s 2021\/2022 Performance Development Plan (PDP) cycle and achieved a completion rate of over 90% for all assigned performance development activities:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45667 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"901\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture3.png 901w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture3-300x61.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture3-768x155.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 901px) 100vw, 901px\" \/>The current 2022\/23 PDP cycle has over 7,300 individual performance activities assigned to all employees with a 80% (at time of writing) completion rate for the current available, assigned performance development activities:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45672 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture4.png 900w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture4-300x68.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture4-768x173.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"large\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"color: #401083;\">\u201cThe flexibility and intuitive design of Totara has enabled us to scale up and continually adapt to meet the changing needs of a diverse, large government department.
