inSITE Training & Development, Inc., a woman owned small business, was started
in 1991 by Founder Susan S. Porter. Upon her retirement in 2010, Carol Erdman,
who had worked with inSITE for 15 years became President and CEO. Since the turn
of the century, inSITE has continued to grow and serve the business community as
well as contribute to the community as a whole. Improving the quality and
availability of education remains our primary focus for corporations, government
agencies, and the non profit community. With a strong administrative team,
instructional design staff and seasoned facilitators, inSITE has the unique
ability to provide a wide variety of services. We hire graduate level interns to
demonstrate our commitment to development of the next generation of
instructional designers and instructors. Our forte has been to place teams
on-site to assess, develop, deliver, and evaluate classroom-based training and
web-based solutions. inSITE has expertise in conducting comprehensive needs and
task analysis that truly determine skill-based needs. We focus on performance,
not training, so our recommendations, once implemented, create an environment
where employees not only have task-related skills to conduct their jobs, but are
able to perform at levels needed for employees to reach their benchmarks,
departments to achieve their goals, and the organization to attain its strategic
plan while being flexible and ready to take on new challenges. Our eLearning
modules can be tailored to include your policies, culture and other specific
content. We use gamification to engage learners in classroom and web-based
platforms. Adults learn when they are engaged and participating so our classroom
learning engages all the senses. In order to ensure significant learning occurs
in two to six hour courses, we limit lectures to 15 minutes or less and call
them lecturettes. The remainder of the class is for large and small group
discussion, enriching case studies that are so true to life they arouse emotion,
role plays that help participants understand how they naturally behave in
certain situations, simulations and video vignettes that demonstrate typical
work place issues and bring learning to life. We provide a number of inventories
including MBTI and its Step 2, DiSC, Thomas Kilmann, Gregorc Style Delineator,
and the Conflict Mode Instrument. The use of the World Café is a highly
successful learning format that draws in high level professionals and managers.
We ensure a great deal of practice of all new skills and tools so that
participants can transfer learning readily upon return to their job. inSITE
Training & Development, inc. has conducted all aspects of the ADDIE model for
both the Federal government and private sector. Most often, we conduct a needs
analysis as a prelude to designing and developing instruction as well. By being
involved in the entire ADDIE process and often delivering the training
ourselves, we have learned just how comprehensive the needs analysis must be. We
have on staff advanced degreed Instructional Designers, Project Managers,
Instructors and Facilitators (PhD, MBA, Masters Degree), Coaches (ICF
certified), a Psychometrician, a Web designer and a Gamification/eLearning
programmer.
