This article presents information on a training project, jointly conducted by two organizations, the American Research Institute (ARI) and MicroTek. To achieve velocity, companies are constantly looking for ways to introduce training to their workforce faster, cheaper, and more effectively. The article demonstrates how the ARI teamed up with MicroTek to deliver fast-paced training. The ARI is a leading provider of education and training services, which helps customers achieve their maximum effectiveness through high-quality, educationally sound, and mission-critical training. With more than 300 classrooms in the U.S., each of MicroTek's business education facilities are equipped with state-of-art computer hardware. ARI needed to schedule classroom facilities to accommodate 200 days of training in 40 different locations. With little more than a week to prepare, ARI authored multiple courseware titles and scheduled the trainers, and MicroTek coordinated the logistics. In the past year, MicroTek has expanded the utilization of the web-based Tracker reservation system to accommodate meeting planning logistics for clients as well. In preparation for the 2004 holiday shopping season, OfficeMax scheduled its Traveling Roadshow to introduce its employees to the new products that the company would be featuring in their stores.
