Case Study 1: Wings Logistics’ Journey from Training to Learning
Organisation

Wings Logistics, the logistics company, entered the Asia-Pacific market in early 2000 and grew quickly in 15 countries with over 15,000 employees. The L&D department accordingly had a similar growth and now deploys 70 L&D professionals in the region covering multiple technical and management training functions.

It all started in 2012 when Rob Lowe, the Senior Vice President (VP) of HR from the global head office visited the Asia regional office in Singapore and met with Rachel, the L&D Director, and her team. He said, “How can we use new everyday technologies like mobile phones and i Pads to help our employees work more effectively? People these days are constantly on their mobile phones and devices for most of the day; my kids even wouldn’t talk to me over dinner!”. This was consistent with the learner profiles that the L&D team had recently discovered in their recent needs analysis
initiative – increasing numbers of new staff were millennials and fresh school leavers who were used to using new technology to communicate informally with their social contacts.

Rachel was enthusiastic and had her own ideas on how to take this forward. In the next management meeting, she was to convince senior management to convert traditional classroom training to newer learning innovations using mobile technology and learning management systems. She was nervous as in her previous meetings with Marcell, VP – Finance and Josh, VP – Operations, both gave her a hard time. Marcel was concerned about return on investment (RoI), as there were significant development costs in hiring an IT services company to develop a customized learning application on desktop and mobile devices. Josh was concerned about how this might affect business operations since turnover rates were fairly high in some major units. and new hires needed to become productive quickly. Josh was trained in the old school and was quite happy with the existing method
of two-weeks classroom training, followed by on-the-job-training.

Clearly, there were benefits in converting traditional classroom training to mobile learning, such as cost savings incurred from reduced travel costs by trainers and trainees. But what if this whole thing falls flat?
