BUSINESS SKILLS COURSE COLLECTION
Executives are constantly looking for breakthrough strategies that will give their companies a competitive edge. Once those strategies are formulated they become operating plans and departments are charged with carrying out specific activities. Finally, it's up to individual employees to execute within their daily jobs in support of those plans. But what happens if the strategies are not well communicated throughout the organization? What if employees lack essential skills to accomplish their work? What if cultural barriers stand in the way of progress?

e-Learning Design Excellence in Business Skills Instruction
LeaderQuest's award-winning business skills courseware incorporates proven learning design methodology for effective and engaging interactive learning. Our instructional design model is based primarily on the proven concepts of performance-oriented instruction, mastery and the sequencing of instructional activities and strategies. The model draws heavily from adult learning principles that emphasize learner initiative, self-management and experiential learning. The design of each business course by our partner Skillsoft starts with the definition of learner-focused performance objectives and then proceeds to the selection and implementation of instructional strategies and learning activities appropriate for those objectives. Frequent practice questions or exercises, along with assessments, measure learners' achievement of those objectives.
Competency Based Learning
Organizations are continually challenged with the need to quickly determine what learning programs are relevant and necessary to develop their employees' competencies and skills while accomplishing business objectives. To respond to this growing demand, LeaderQuest has extended Curriculum Guides that identify courses related to needed competencies and job functions. It combines a broad, yet simple, competency model listing key behaviors, along with course suggestions to help associate required learning with your organization's development needs.
