Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing, US, has released Leadership & Management Learning Center, a new learning portal that seeks to provide highly relevant content from thought leaders on best practices and benchmarks to support and sustain formal and informal organisational learning.
Leadership & Management Learning Center comes pre-populated with targeted content including summaries of top business books, articles from leading business magazines and journals, e-books and videos. The content is organised into 82 key business competencies enabling users to browse relevant content by topic. Custom mapping to specific competencies is also available from EBSCO for organisations using their own competency model.
EBSCO’s new platform seeks to offer organisations an easy-to-use, customisable learning portal — a "plug & play" solution that includes tools to facilitate social collaboration as well as comprehension tests to reinforce key learnings, in addition to the content collection. It can also include links to an organisations' existing learning content or third party content. Leadership & Management Learning Center can be accessed through multiple means including a dedicated portal, Sharepoint or a Learning Management System (LMS).
