Frito-Lay sought a blended learning solution to best teach employees particular “soft-skills”, to bridge the gap between learning and applying new skills, and to increase speed to competency.
We developed a five hour course which integrated e-learning modules with actual interactive sessions. The greatest challenge here was to deliver the instruction effectively to employees from diverse backgrounds. We did so by presenting it in an easy-to-understand training environment using familiar training materials such as flipcharts, whiteboards, computers and printed materials. The course has resulted in improved training performance within Frito-Lay’s target audience.

We brought the instruction to life by delivering it via a talk show theme wherein different guests are questioned on different selling techniques.
