Epic takes the stress out of project management for Cable & Wireless

Epic Group plc, the UK's leading learning and knowledge management company, has delivered approximately six hours of high quality e-learning to be used by more than a thousand project managers within Cable & Wireless. The project was notable for its smooth running and the close partnership developed between the two teams and has now gone live.

The objective of the learning is to ensure that current and future employees are trained in all aspects of the company's Project Framework and Product Development Process. This training is currently offered by a three-day residential course, which is becoming less and less viable for this geographically dispersed enterprise.

The programme is successfully integrated into the company's learning management system, which currently supports ten thousand employees globally. It is expected to have a lifespan beyond three years, so Epic is additionally providing 'Refresh', its proprietary content maintenance tool. This will enable Cable & Wireless to update the content internally post-launch.

On behalf of Cable & Wireless, William Ward, E-learning Manager, said: "Working with Epic took the stress out and made the whole project a great deal easier. Their processes, knowledge and experience get you as close as you can to a guaranteed result. The project exceeded expectations and was delivered to budget."

Donald Clark, CEO of Epic Group plc, said: 'Project management is a seriously underestimated skill. As an ex-project manager I wish I had received this level of learning when I started. It's quick, it's easy and it's useful. '
