The world of corporate learning is changing. Ticking off expenditure with the same old stable of providers is no longer adequate. The world itself is different:

• New learning technologies mean new paradigms for training delivery
• Workshops that are unhooked from the realities of the company can’t demonstrate value anymore
• The boundaries between managing knowledge and bring about learning are blurred.
• Attracting and keeping staff in a global labour shortage means corporate learning must provide a pathway for staff to stay and grow.

It’s no longer about training activity, it’s about changing behaviour that is proven to impact on the bottom line.

For software companies this means with the growing trend of software becoming a commodity, declining margins and shorter product lifecycles requiring faster ROI, challenges them to re-invent themselves as independent software vendors (ISVs) selling packaged software products to global markets.

While these companies have the technical ‘know-how’ to build these products, many lack the business skills to determine their competitive advantage in their targeted value chain, design and execute software products and plan for international marketing and channel promotion. Coupled with the pressures of running a 'hands-on' operation, many businesses say they turn towards a highly re-active mode of business management that probably restricts their growth potential

Agitavi designs and executes corporate learning such as the "The Software Business Management Course" to address these needs of todays software companies. This specific courses is an example of corporate learning that provides the necessary business best practices required in today’s competitive markets.
