Virtual Ashridge, eLearning solutions

As a world renowned business school, Ashridge has over 50 years’ experience in helping organisations, managers and leaders to improve their competencies and abilities through development programmes, consultancy and coaching.

Ashridge firmly believes that becoming a better manager or leader is about being self-aware, open to ideas, having time to reflect and being willing to change.

To achieve this, our digital learning resources have been delivered online since 1998, via Virtual Ashridge. Virtual Ashridge currently supports the learning of over three-quarters of a million individuals across 150 public and private sector organisations in the UK and internationally. It is designed and delivered globally by experts to empower people to manage their own personal development.

Customisation of Virtual Ashridge allows the prioritisation of specific learning areas to an organisation and an individual.

Virtual Ashridge offers text, audio and video based-resources, allowing individuals to learn according to their preferred learning styles. The impact of digital learning is then maximised at each organisation.

Virtual Ashridge allows each organisation to customise the look and feel of their learning environment to meet the needs of their organisation – from the home page right down to each individual resource. Ashridge research suggests this approach secures 75% higher usage than an off-the-shelf learning solution. By having Ashridge content with existing resources mapped to competency frameworks, a single point for all learning needs can provide streamlined access to the very best digitally available content.

Virtual Ashridge delivers a personal development service through learning. Individuals access tools and techniques to help them gain an understanding about the direction they want their career to follow, along with decision support for the respective choices.

Individuals are actively encouraged to reflect on experiences and use that as a means of learning and improving performance. Virtual Ashridge highlights useful websites, significant materials, reading lists or self-assessment exercises to aid individuals who are perhaps at a career crossroads, or alternatively would like to enhance the clear career path that they have already mapped out.

Whilst Virtual Ashridge is comprehensive, it also has to target busy and overloaded learners with little time to think. Virtual Ashridge offers monthly hot topics, subjects of the month, regular webinar workouts, and bespoke marketing materials in order to maximise retention. Additionally, intuitive navigation gives instant access to the latest insights of Ashridge’s finest faculty.
