McKinley attended the CSTD (Canadian Society of Training & Development) Learning Innovations Symposium in Fredericton. Keynote speakers included some of the leading learning experts – Clark Aldrich, Jay Cross and Stephen Downes.
An underlying theme of the symposium was the fact that while originally seduced by the power of the internet, companies are dropping the “e” from eLearning and are focusing on creating effective learning using blended approaches. It was an excellent opportunity to explore the latest innovations in learning and discuss how these advances can best be used to reduce the lag time between learning and job performance improvement.

The welcoming hospitality of the maritimes provided an excellent environment in which to network and get to know the recognized leaders in the field.

McKinley Solutions, the Canadian Education Partner of Hyperion Solutions, developed and delivered a cost effective interactive training program for an end user business financial planning solution at Alias, the world’s leading innovator in 3D graphics technology.

Alias was migrating from a legacy solution to a new dynamic real-time web based solutions. End Users with varying levels of experience needed to be trained and understand the impact on their daily routine.

McKinley Solutions developed a tailored end user manual detailing process and procedures as well as a series of customized activities to practice their new skills. A courseware kit was developed for internal administrators to train new members as
they were brought into the team.
