Digital ... but how?!<\/div>

eLearning implementation & improvement<\/span><\/h4>

You would like to introduce eLearning in your company and don't know yet what you have to consider? Or have you already taken this step and are facing difficulties or would like to take your offering to the next level?
\nMit 19 Jahren Erfahrung bei der Implementierung und Weiterentwicklung von eLearning in verschiedenen Unternehmen, unterst\u00fctze ich sie gerne bei ihrem n\u00e4chsten Schritt mit einer unabh\u00e4ngigen Meinung.<\/p><\/div>

Modernize your human resources development<\/span><\/h4>

Has your company reached a point where you want or need to modernize your personnel development? Do you have the impression that your L&D programs are not yet efficient enough?
\nIn my role as Head of Global Learning at QIAGEN, I managed the entire training department with global responsibility and a globally distributed team, ensuring smooth operations.
\nI am happy to consult you on the sustainable use of modern learning methods and tools and optimize your individual processes.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

LMS implementation<\/span><\/h4>

Sie m\u00f6chten ein Learning Management System (LMS) einf\u00fchren oder ein neues anschaffen? Besitzen sie vielleicht schon eins und haben den Eindruck, dass es nicht zu ihren Prozessen und\/oder Ihrem Bed\u00fcrfnissen passt?
\nOver the past years, I have implemented several Learning Management Systems from different vendors in different environments and companies and adapted them to the respective needs where necessary. One own LMS development was even awarded with the European eLearning Award.
\nI install, support and administer multiple LMSs for different customers.
\nTo help you with your individual LMS challenge independently, feel free to contact me.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Your topics<\/div>

Content creation<\/span><\/h4>

Do you need eLearning content on your individual topics or are you looking for a suitable provider to create this content for you?
\nIch kann Ihre Content-Projekte f\u00fcr Sie kosteng\u00fcnstig erstellen. Mit meiner langj\u00e4hrigen Erfahrung und den daraus resultierenden Marktkenntnissen und meinem Netzwerk erstelle ich gerne die Inhalte f\u00fcr Sie.<\/p><\/div>

Truly interactive ...<\/div>

VC-Training<\/span><\/h4>

Do you have the impression that your virtual meetings or trainings are not interactive enough yet?
\nI will show you how to make virtual training and meetings more interactive. Instead of a presentation character, your online events will get more of a workshop character, where everyone can get involved individually.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
