 * 8.1 – Outsourcing Your Training Development: Lessons Learned**

Max Herrell, GE Energy Thursday, September 25, 11:00 am – 12:15 pm

As a member of the first GE business to start using offshore development of learning materials, Mr. Herrell will discuss real world experiences in using offshore companies, including best practices in selection, pricing, quality and on/offshore models in countries like India, China and Vietnam. Examples of our Functional Specifications development process for offshore vendors will show how we reduced costs of development from $60,000 to $10,000 per course hour at Blooms Taxonomy levels 3 and 4. We also significantly improved overall quality as evidenced by student feedback and industry peer reviews.
