About Us
What We Do
ThinkPoint specializes in soft-skills and systems training delivered via the web, CD-ROM, or your intranet. Our training simulates a realistic work environment and gives the learner the opportunity to learn in a stress-free and fun but eminently practical way. Whether we are converting your current instructor-led training to web-based training or are creating a completely new e-learning solution, ThinkPoint’s consultants use proven project-management and instructional-design techniques to design a custom e-learning solution designed specifically to meet your organization’s needs. We do this by partnering with you to learn about your organization and to identify the specific gaps in performance that you wish to address. We then work with you to create solutions that result in lasting behavioral changes that will positively impact your bottom line.
Our Vision
Our vision is to design and develop high quality e-learning solutions that will improve the knowledge, skills, and performance of our learners. We realize that every client is unique. We will listen to our clients and provide the best options and solutions to ensure that our clients increase performance and profitability.
Our Team
ThinkPoint is comprised of seasoned project leaders, instructional designers, programmers, graphic designers, and multimedia and animation specialists. Our dedicated employees and consultants have worked in a variety of industries, including financial services, telemarketing, software development, retail services, and other knowledge-driven industries. This diverse background provides us with the ability to provide realistic and creative e-learning solutions that are motivating, challenging, engaging, and successful.
“The difference between ‘involvement’ and ‘commitment’ is like a ham-and-eggs breakfast: the chicken was ‘involved,’ the pig was ‘committed.’” – anonymous
Our Approach
At ThinkPoint, we believe that understanding the client’s business is key to delivering effective e-learning. We will work with your subject-matter experts—or, provide our own—to design courses that cover any topic, from basic to advanced, including the complex and the technical. We will work closely with you to design, develop, and implement learning solutions that address strategic business goals and lead to a measurable return on investment. We also believe in giving our clients options. Our collaborative design and development environment enables clients to participate to whatever extent they wish to in the creation process. If you want us to build the e-learning solution on your behalf, we have the staff and resources to get it done right. If you want to be more involved in the instructional design and development process, we can provide you with the tools to join in the design and development of your training.
Our Methodology
“Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like to be taught.” – Sir Winston Churchill
ThinkPoint knows that each learner is different. And we recognize that these differences present managers with constant challenges. Our instructional design strategy addresses these differences by creating e-learning solutions that present information in a variety of ways: audio, video, animation, graphic displays, and text.
No matter what the learning style might be, we believe that interactivity must be at the heart of any successful e-learning solution. It is critical to engage and motivate individuals based on an understanding of how people think and learn. The most effective learning happens through real-life, first-hand experience. Our e-learning solutions do not just present information to learners; the solutions give learners opportunities to practice what they have learned in a safe and stress-free environment.
