ABD software is specifically designed to help customers create training guides, procedures and online documentation with specialized formatting built-in. The software works with Microsoft Word. It functions much like a standard toolbar (Office 2003) or ribbon (Office 2007), enabling customers to develop documents with a consistent, professional style and format for almost any type of project. ABD automates the repetitive work in document preparation—reducing development time by as much as 33 percent.

Among the new features included in Arrangement by DesignÒ V.10 are an auto-install wizard which installs ABD with other saved templates on the user’s system; an interactive online help offering users not only definitions, but also step-by-step instructions on creating facilitator guides and documentation materials; and an online download and product registration allowing the user easy access to their ABD license.

As part of TBD Consulting’s services, they also offer a 1-day myCOREformanceÒ Software course which gives teams specialized training on how to use the Arrangement by DesignÒ software to create procedures, policies, training materials and reports that effectively, concisely and clearly convey information.

“So how did I become a Boomer totally convinced that our company should embrace Web 2.0 technologies and virtual worlds and then ease others in with us?  Well, I’m a bottom-line kinda gal.  As I look back, I can see how my awesome employees strategically and methodically eased me into the new technologies as they showed me the whys and the WIIFM (what’s in it for me) for our company.  I have never played a video game in the real world, but I’ve learned enough in Second Life© to expand our company’s offerings to people across the globe by using the tools at our Learning Innovation Campus,” Relth said.

“There are many appealing aspects to reshaping a face-to-face leadership course into a virtual one. Saving money on travel and materials, extending the reach of the class and ‘playing’ with new technology top the list,” said Jonena Relth, TBD President and Leadership Evangelist, regarding the session topic. “In many instances, the pros far outweigh the cons. We will provide insights for exactly when and how to ‘reshape’ existing courses for virtual delivery. As can be imagined, it takes much more than simply scheduling the online learning. The behavioral objectives need to be revised and activities and student interactions need to be carefully planned and executed.”
